[Chorus]
Si ya no estás aquí
Mi vida es diferente
Si ya no estás aquí
Traspaso entre la gente
Soy caminante vagando sin prisa
En el vacío en que escondí tus caricias
Donde no existe rencor ni malicia
Donde suelo ir a morir

[Verse 1]
Presiento labios cerrados para no invocar recuerdos
Manos atadas para no arriesgar deseos
Tomar prestado por amor correr el riesgo
Romper distancias para sobornar al tiempo

[Pre-Chorus]
Ven, corazón que ya no siente es porque ojos ya no ven
Hoy te quiero de rehén

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Decreto, ojos callados para no encallar misterios
Beso francés que es como antídoto y veneno
Como un prejuicio restaurando otro desprecio
Cobrando deuda reclamando entre lo ajeno

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Ese es el antídoto y veneno de mi cuerpo
Si tu no estás amor
Si ya no estás

Enrique Martín Morales (born December 24, 1971), commonly known as Ricky Martin, is a Puerto Rican singer, actor and author. Martin began his career at age 12 with the all-boy pop group Menudo. After five years with the group, he released several Spanish-language solo albums throughout the 1990s. He also acted on stage and on TV in Mexico, where he achieved modest stardom. In 1994, he appeared on the US TV soap opera General Hospital, playing a Puerto Rican singer.

In early 1999, after releasing several albums in Spanish, Martin performed “The Cup of Life” at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards show, which became a catalyst in bringing Latin pop to the forefront of the U.S. music scene. Following its success, Martin released “Livin' la Vida Loca”, which helped him attain enormous success worldwide; it is generally seen as the song that began the Latin pop explosion of 1999 and made the transition easier for other Spanish-speaking artists to move into the English-speaking market. Since its release, the song has sold over 8 million copies, making it one of the best selling singles of all time. His first English-language album (also titled Ricky Martin), has sold 22 million copies and is one of the best selling albums of all time. His other studio albums Me Amarás (1993), A Medio Vivir (1995), Vuelve (1998), Sound Loaded (2000), Almas del Silencio (2003), Life (2005), Música + Alma + Sexo (2011), and A Quien Quiera Escuchar (2015). In 2018, he portrayed Antonio D'Amico on The Assassination of Gianni American Crime Story for which he received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie.
