Ya he perdido la noción del tiempo |
I have already lost the concept of time. |
Porque yo quiero que tu vuelvas a mi ... |
Because I want you to return to me |
Te busco por el mundo y no te puedo conseguir |
I'm looking for you all over the world and I can't follow you |
Que yo quiero que tu vuelvas vuelvas que yo quiero |
