Lo que no entiendo es como se puede ser tan cobarde
What I don't understand is how someone can be so cowardly
Que ves que estoy mal
That you see I'm not okay
Que ves que no estoy bien
That you see I'm not alright
Y no eres capaz de venir y preguntarme
And you're not able to come and ask me
"Oye, ¿qué te pasa?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Que estoy
That I am
Estoy, estoy, estoy y no me encuentro
I’m here, I’m here, I’m here and I can't find myself
Dime, dime, dime como acaba el cuento
Tell me, tell me, tell me how the story ends
Estoy entrando en crisis y no es el momento
I'm going into crisis and this isn't the time
De decirme que me quieres si no te sale del cuerpo
To tell me you love me if it doesn't come from your heart
Ya no sé lo que te pasa ni lo que cruza tu mente
I no longer know what happens to you or what crosses your mind
Cuéntame que es lo que piensas pa saber si detenerte
Tell me what you're thinking so I know whether to stop you
Dame algo que haga que me quede
Give me something that makes me stay
Dime, dime, dime que te hace tan diferente
Tell me, tell me, tell me what makes you so different
Crisis (crisis)
Crisis (crisis)
Falta algo y no sé el que
Something's missing and I don't know what it is
Crisis (crisis)
Crisis (crisis)
Dinero, nos falta amor también
Money, we also lack love
Crisis (crisis)
Crisis (crisis)
Falta algo y no sé el que
Something's missing and I don't know what it is
Crisis (crisis)
Crisis (crisis)
Dinero, nos falta amor también
Money, we're short on love too
Dime que me sobra
Tell me what I have enough of
Y dime que me falta
And tell me what I'm missing
¿Por qué to el mundo la mira si no es ninguna santa?
Why does everyone look at her if she's no saint?
Si la miras te atropella, dime que tiene de estrella
If you look at her, she'll run you over, tell me what makes her a star
Dame un motivo claro pa querer que sea ella
Give me a clear reason to want her to be the one
Crisis (crisis)

Dinero, nos falta amor también bitch
Money, we're also missing love, bitch
Me falta gente, me faltan amigos
I'm missing people, I'm missing friends
Me faltan razones para quedarme contigo
I'm missing reasons to stay with you
Me sobra mente, te falta cara
I have plenty of mind, you lack a face
Te falta valor para quedarte conmigo
You lack courage to stay with me
Me falta gente, me faltan amigos
I'm missing people, I'm missing friends
Me faltan razones para quedarme contigo

Te falta valor para quedarte conmigo
