Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish

verse

I think I′m drowning, asphyxiated
Creo que me estoy ahogando, asfixiado
I wanna break this spell that you've created
Quiero romper este hechizo que has creado
You′re something beautiful, a contradiction
Eres algo hermoso, una contradicción
I wanna play the game, I want the friction
Quiero jugar el juego, quiero la fricción

pre-chorus

And you will be the death of me
Tú serás mi muerte
Yeah, you will be the death of me
Sí, tú serás mi muerte

chorus

Bury it
Que lo entierres
I won't let you bury it
No te dejaré enterrarlo
I won't let you smother it
No dejaré que lo sofoques
I won′t let you murder it
No te dejaré asesinarlo
And our time is running out
Y se nos acaba el tiempo
But our time is running out
Y se nos acaba el tiempo
You can′t push it underground
No puedes apurarlo clandestinamente
You can't stop it screaming out
No puedes detenerlo gritando

verse

I wanted freedom, bound and restricted
Quería libertad, pero estoy restringido
I tried to give you up, but I′m addicted
Traté de dejarte, pero soy adicto
Now that you know I'm trapped, sense of elation
Ahora que sabes que estoy atrapado, siento euforia
You′d never dream of breaking this fixation
Jamás soñarías con romper esta fijación

pre-chorus

And you will squeeze the life out of me
Me quitarás la vida

chorus

And bury it
Y enterrarlo
I won't let you bury it
No te dejaré enterrarlo
I won′t let you smother it
No dejaré que lo sofoques
I won't let you murder it
No te dejaré asesinarlo
And our time is running out
Y se nos acaba el tiempo
But our time is running out
Y se nos acaba el tiempo
You can't push it underground
No puedes apurarlo clandestinamente
You can′t stop it screaming out
No puedes detenerlo gritando
