Yo puedo ofrecerte una vida muy interesante
Pero depende para ti qué es interesante
Si estás pensando en discotecas, carros y diamantes
Entonces puede que pa' ti sea insignificante

Then it may be insignificant to you

Si quieres borra hasta mi número del celular

If you want erase even my cell phone number
If you want light up my letters
A campfire, to see if you can get warm
