Mientes
You lie
Y yo puedo atestiguar
And I can testify
Mientes
You lie
Y ni te hace falta hablar
And you don't even need to speak
Mientes
You lie
Y adoras verme llorar
And you love to see me cry
Callar ya no te redimirá.
Being silent won't redeem you now.
Si la culpa de todo me has de echar
If you must blame me for it all
Y hasta el fuego pretendes congelar
And you even try to freeze the fire
No quiero estar
I don't want to be
Siempre
Always
Buscando algo más allá
Searching for something beyond
Siempre
Always
Pensando que hay alguien más
Thinking there’s someone else
Siempre
Always
Sufriendo por lo que no hay
Suffering for what isn’t there
Jamás poniéndote en mi lugar.
Never putting yourself in my place.
Cuando miro adentro tuyo me asusto
When I look inside you, I get scared
De lo que hay
Of what’s there
Cuando veo tus ojos y no estás...
When I see your eyes and you're not...
Si mis lágrimas de amor
If my tears of love
Te alejan
Push you away
Cada vez más
Further and further
Es que de verdad no hay nada
It's because there really is nothing
Será que esta vez es el final?
Could this be the end this time?
Mientes
You lie
No paras de hacerme mal
You keep hurting me
Callar ya no te redimirá.
Silencing won't redeem you now.
Si la culpa de todo me has de echar
If you're going to blame me for everything
Si olvidé mi sonrisa en un lugar
If I've forgotten my smile in a place
Que no has de hallar...
That you won't find...
Cuando miro adentro tuyo me asusto
When I look inside you, I get scared
De lo que hay
Of what’s there
Cuando veo tus ojos y no estás
When I see your eyes and you're not here
Si mis lágrimas de amor te alejan
If my tears of love push you away
Cada vez más
More and more
Es que de verdad no hay nada?
Is it true there’s really nothing?
Será que esta vez es el final
Could it be that this time it’s the end?
(Mientes
(You’re lying
Y yo puedo atestiguar
And I can testify
Mientes
You lie
Y ni te hace falta hablar
And you don't even need to speak
Mientes
You lie
Y adoras verme llorar
And you love to see me cry
Callar ya no te redimirá...)
Silence won't redeem you now...
