Volví (I Returned)
Dime por qué le tiras piedras a la luna
Tan ilógico como extraerme de tu piel
Después de Dios, soy tu todo, mujer

So illogical like removing me from your skin
After God, I'm your everything, woman
How's it going with him?

Dos locos viviendo una aventura castigada por Dios

A labyrinth without an exit where the fear becomes love
We're her husband, she and I

Son las cinco de la mañana

And I haven't slept at all
Thinking about your beauty
I'm going to end up crazy
