No te aferres así, te lastimarás
Don't cling so tight, you'll hurt yourself
Besé tu boca y piel, es lo que necesito
I kissed your mouth and skin, it's what I need
Aléjate de mí, mi ardor te abrazará
Stay away from me, my passion will embrace you
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
Give me miles and miles of mountains
Give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea
And I'll ask for the sea
No te entregues así, te lastimarás
Don't surrender like that, you'll hurt yourself
Besé tus labios y piel, es lo que necesito
I kissed your lips and skin, it's what I need
No arrastres este amor, mi ardor te abrazará
Don't drag this love, my passion will embrace you
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
Give me miles and miles of mountains and I'll
Give me miles and miles of mountains and I'll
What I give to you is just what I'm going through
What I give to you is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new, no, no, just another phase of finding
This is nothing new, no, no, just another phase of finding
What I really need is what makes me bleed
What I really need is what makes me bleed
Like a new disease
Like a new disease
Lord, she's still too young
Lord, she's still too young
Lo que soy para ti
What I am to you
No lo eres tú para mi
You are not that for me
No te sirve, no te sirve
It doesn't help you, it doesn't help you
No necesitas de mí, no necesitas de mí
You don't need me, you don't need me
