No me dan ganas, no quiero escuchar
I don't feel like it, I don't want to listen
No me des cuerda que voy a explotar
Don't wind me up, I'm about to explode
Se oscureció el cielo, ya no brilla el sol
The sky has darkened, the sun no longer shines
¿Qué nos hicimos, qué nos pasó?
What have we done, what happened to us?
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Y no digas nada, que así es mejor
And don't say anything, it's better this way
Que en cualquier momento pierdo el control
Because at any moment I lose control
Y ya no está lejos, la veo venir
And it's no longer far, I see it coming
De esta tormenta nadie va a sobrevivir
No one will survive this storm
Se aproxima la tormenta
The storm is approaching
Y no te das cuenta, no te das cuenta
And you don't realize it, you don't realize it
Que viene hacia ti, viene hacia ti, viene hacia mí
That it's coming for you, coming for you, coming for me
Me quedé en tu presencia
I stayed in your presence
Más de la cuenta, más de la cuenta
Longer than I should, longer than I should
Y voy a morir, ahora voy a morir por ti
And I'm going to die, now I'm going to die for you
El amor mata y no hay que ser sabio
Love kills and you don't need to be wise
Para saber que hay veneno en tus labios
To know there's poison on your lips
No puede ser que esto sea normal
It can't be that this is normal
Querer tanto hacerte bien que quiero hacerte mal
Wanting so much to do you good that I want to do you harm
Se aproxima la tormenta
The storm is coming near
Y no te das cuenta, no te das cuenta
And you don't realize, you don't realize
Que viene hacia ti, viene hacia ti, viene hacia mí
That it's coming towards you, coming towards you, coming towards me
Me quedé en tu presencia
I stayed in your presence
Más de la cuenta, más de la cuenta
Longer than I should, longer than I should
Y voy a morir, ahora voy a morir por ti
And I'm going to die, now I'm going to die for you
Eh-ih, eh
(Oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh)
(Oh-oh, oh, oh)
Oh, se aproxima la tormenta
Oh, the storm is approaching
Y no te das cuenta
And you don't even notice
Se aproxima la tormenta
The storm is approaching
Y viene hacia mí
And it's coming for me
Me quedé en tu presencia
I stayed in your presence
Me quedé más de la cuenta
I stayed longer than I should
Se aproxima la tormenta
The storm is approaching
Y viene hacia mí
And it comes towards me
