And here's the lyrics (English below the Spanish) from Jon Ander from Bilbao:

NO QUIERO ESCUCHAR
Hace tiempo que ocultas la verdad
Te traiciona tu tenue ingenuidad al hablar
¿A quién tratas de engañar?

Vi dos sombras saliendo de un portal
Seguí los pasos, cómplice de la oscuridad
Dura realidad

Sentí morir al verla abrazándote

CORO:
No, no quiero escuchar
tu voz susurrar que me has querido
Se cual es la verdad, quise confiar
Y me has mentido

Ahora dices que fué una confusión
Sólo celos, fruto de mi imaginación
Partiste mi vida en dos

Sentí morir al verla abrazándote

CORO

CORO

No quiero escuchar

Translation:

I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN

You've been hiding the truth for a long time
Your tenous naïveté while you're speaking betrays you
Who are you trying to deceive?

I saw two shadows going out of a streetdoor
I followed the paces, accomplice of the darkness
Hard reality

I felt like dying when I saw her taking you in her arms

CHORUS:

No, I don't want to listen
to your voice whispering that you've loved me
I know wich the truth is, I wanted to be trusting
and you have lied to me

Now you say that it was a confussion
Only jelousy, fruit of my imagination
You split my life into two

I felt like dying when I saw her taking you in her arms

CHORUS

CHORUS

I don't want to listen
