Se ve que no te voy
It’s clear that I’m not for you
Se ve que no me vas
It’s clear that you’re not for me
Se ve que en realidad solo me quieres
It’s clear that in reality you only want me
Como a un amigo más
Like just another friend
Como algo de siempre
Like something that’s always been
Ya ves me equivoqué
You see, I was wrong
Creí que era feliz
I thought I was happy
Pensaba que yo lo tenía todo
I believed I had it all
Tantos amigos, caprichos amores locos
So many friends, whimsical crazy loves
Tengo todo excepto a ti
I have everything except you
Y el sabor de tu piel
And the taste of your skin
Bella como el sol de abril
Beautiful like the April sun
Que absurdo el día en que soñé
How absurd the day I dreamed
Que eras para mí
That you were meant for me
Tengo todo excepto a ti
I have everything except you
Y la humedad de tu cuerpo
And the moisture of your body
Tú me has hecho porque sí
You made me, just because
Seguir las huellas de tu olor
To follow the traces of your scent
Loco por tu amor
Crazy for your love
Me sobra juventud
I have youth in abundance
Me muero por vivir
I'm dying to live
Pero me faltas tú
But I'm missing you
Tengo todo excepto a ti
I have everything except you
Y la humedad de tu cuerpo
And the dampness of your body
Tú me has hecho porque sí
You made me just because
Seguir las huellas de tu olor
Following the traces of your scent
Loco por tu amor
Crazy for your love
(Te busqué)
(I searched for you)
(Te encontré)
(I found you)
(Tengo todo excepto a ti)
(I have everything except you)
Tengo tu aroma fundido en mi cuerpo
I have your scent melted on my body
(Solo tu me faltas)
(Only you are missing from me)
Y vivir de recuerdos a mi no me basta
And living off memories is not enough for me
(Te busqué)
(I searched for you)
(Te encontré)
(I found you)
(Tengo todo excepto a ti)
(I have everything except you)
Es que yo lo tengo todo menos tu mirada
It's just that I have it all except for your gaze
(Solo tu me faltas)
(Only you are missing from me)
Creí que era feliz pero me equivocaba
I thought I was happy but I was wrong
Agua

Me equivoque contigo
I was wrong with you
(Se ve que no te voy)
(Looks like I'm not going to you)

Mira la nuestro ya es agua pasada
Look, what we had is now water under the bridge
Pero me aferro a la esperanza de que volverás
But I cling to the hope that you'll come back
(Se ve que no te voy)
(Looks like I'm not going to you)

Tu dices que no
You say no
Yo digo que si
I say yes
Yo entiendo (que no me vas)
I understand (that you're not coming to me)
Y no me vas
And you're not coming with me
Y no te voy

(Se ve que no te voy) ya lo sé
(It shows that I'm not going with you) I already know
(Que no me vas)

Todo, yo lo he entregado todo
Everything, I've given it all
Y sin amigos me quede
And I was left without friends
(Se ve que no te voy) mira
(It shows that I'm not going with you) look
(Que no me vas)
(That you're not coming with me)
No se porque razón

Yo no te voy, tu no me vas
I'm not going to you, you're not coming to me
