Cuando estés mal, cuando estés solo
When you're down, when you're alone
Cuando ya estés cansado de llorar
When you're tired of crying
No te olvides de mí
Don't forget about me
Porque sé que te puedo estimular
Because I know I can inspire you
Cuando me mires a los ojos
When you look into my eyes
Y mi mirada esté en otro lugar
And my gaze is elsewhere
No te acerques a mí
Don't come closer to me
Porque sé que te puedo lastimar
Because I know I can hurt you
No pienses que estoy loco
Don't think that I'm crazy
Es solo una manera de actuar
It's just a way of acting
No pienses que estoy solo
Don't think that I'm alone
Estoy comunicado con todo lo demás, por eso
I'm connected to everything else, that's why
Cuando estés mal, cuando estés sola
When you’re feeling down, when you’re all alone
Cuando ya estés cansada de llorar
When you're tired of crying
No te olvides de mí
Don't forget about me
Porque sé que te puedo estimular
Because I know I can uplift you
No te olvides de mí
Don't forget about me
Porque sé que te puedo estimular
Because I know I can uplift you
