Singer: Reik
Hiriendo mi felicidad, me alejo
A petición de tu orgullo, me iré
Aunque eres mi necesidad, te dejo
Pero eso de que te olvide, no sé
Hurting my happiness, I step back
At the request of your pride, I will go
Even though you are my necessity, I let you go
But as for forgetting you, I don’t know
Tatuajes de tus besos
Llevo en todo mi cuerpo
Tattoos of your kisses
I carry on my whole body
Tatuados sobre el tiempo
El tiempo que te conocí
Tattooed over time
The time when I met you
Se me hizo vicio ver
Tus ojos, respirar tu aliento
Me voy, pero te llevo dentro
De mí
It became a habit to see
Your eyes, to breathe your breath
I’m leaving, but I carry you inside
Of me
Atendiendo a tu razón
Me marcho
Víctima de un alter-ego
Me voy
Attending to your reason
I’m leaving
Victim of an alter ego
I’m going
Con otro amor el corazón
Me parcho
Seguro de que te olvide
No estoy
With another love, my heart
I patch it up
But not sure that I’ve forgotten you
I’m Not
Tatuajes de tus besos
Llevo en todo mi cuerpo
Tattoos of your kisses
I carry on my whole body
Tatuados sobre el tiempo
El tiempo que te conocí
Tattooed over time
The time when I met you
Se me hizo vicio ver
Tus ojos, respirar tu aliento
Me voy, pero te llevo dentro
De mí
It became a habit to see
Your eyes, to breathe your breath
I’m leaving, but I carry you inside
Of me
Tatuajes de tus besos
Llevo en todo mi cuerpo
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Tatuados sobre el tiempo
El tiempo que te conocí
Tattoos of your kisses
I carry on my whole body
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Tattooed over time
The time when I met you
Se me hizo vicio ver
Tus ojos, respirar tu aliento
Me voy, pero te llevo dentro
De mí
It became a habit to see
Your eyes, to breathe your breath
I’m leaving, but I carry you inside
Of me
