Tómame o déjame
Take me or leave me
Pero no me pidas que te crea más
But don't ask me to believe you anymore
Cuando llegas tarde a casa
When you come home late
No tienes por qué inventar
You don't have to make up excuses
Pues tu ropa huele a leña de otro hogar
Because your clothes smell like firewood from another home
Tómame o déjame
Take me or leave me
Si no estoy despierta, déjame soñar
If I'm not awake, let me dream
No me beses en la frente
Don't kiss me on the forehead
Sabes que te oí llegar
You know I heard you come in
Y tu beso sabe a culpabilidad
And your kiss tastes like guilt
Tú me admiras porque callo y miro al cielo
You admire me because I stay quiet and look at the sky
Porque no me ves llorar
Because you don't see me cry
Y te sientes cada día más pequeño
And you feel smaller each day
Y esquivas mi mirada en tu mirar
And you dodge my gaze in your looking
Tómame o déjame
Take me or leave me
Ni te espío ni te quito libertad
I'm neither spying on you nor taking away your freedom
Pero si dejas el nido
But if you leave the nest
Si me vas a abandonar
If you’re going to abandon me
Hazlo antes de que empiece a clarear
Do it before dawn begins to break
Tú me admiras porque callo y miro al cielo
You admire me because I stay quiet and look at the sky
Porque no me ves llorar
Because you don't see me cry
Y te sientes cada día más pequeño
And you feel smaller every day
Y esquivas mi mirada en tu mirar
And you dodge my gaze in your stare
Tómame o déjame
Take me or leave me
Y si vuelves, trae contigo la verdad
And if you come back, bring the truth with you
Trae erguida la mirada
Bring your gaze held high
Trae contigo a mi rival
Bring my rival with you
Así es mejor que yo podré entonces llorar, ah-aah
This way is better so I can then cry, ah-aah
