CONTENTS SUMMARY
100 Años (100 Years)
Mírame a los ojos que te siento diferente
Tengo miedo de nosotros
Que este amor se haya gastado de repente
Vuelve a recordarme cuando todo era nuevo
Look into my eyes because I feel you're different
I'm afraid of us
That this love has suddenly worn out
Remind me again when everything was new

The lyrics express the singer's fear that the love between them has suddenly run out, and they ask the person they are singing to to remember when their love was new and they promised it would be eternal.

What I felt when you were close
And that little mouth was my little mouth

That I sent flying to the sky
