Quisiera cinco minutos 00:21
Un buen espejo, un foco viejo y corazón 00:26
Mirarme abietamente 00:33
Tras desnudarme, para mostrarme tal como soy 00:38
Quisiera cinco minutos 00:45
Quedarme quieto con mis secretos y meditar 00:50
Decirme por un instante 00:57
Si ya es bastante o tengo aguante para algo más 01:02
Y ver hasta qué punto vale la pena 01:09
Andar de viento en viento haciendo de veleta 01:15
Y ver hasta qué punto es natural 01:21
Buscarse uno las olas y hacerse un temporal 01:27
Quisiera cinco minutos 01:33
Un techo plano sobre mis manos y algo de luz 01:39
Y hablarme de pillo a pillo 01:45
Y preguntarme sin escaparme qué buscas tú 01:50
Quisiera cinco minutos 01:57
Un fino acero y abrirme entero de par en par 02:02
Juzgarme honestamente 02:09
Secar mi frente y simplemente reflexionar 02:14
Y ver hasta qué punto vale la pena 02:21
Andar de viento en viento haciendo de veleta 02:27
Y ver hasta qué punto es natural 02:33
Buscarse uno las olas y hacerse un temporal 02:39
Y ver hasta qué punto tengo el honor 02:45
De ser yo de mí mismo mi esclavo o mi señor 02:51
Y tengo cinco minutos 02:58
Lo que no tengo es valor 03:04

Dive into the powerful world of *Balada Romántica* with José José’s "Cinco Minutos." This song offers a perfect opportunity to learn Spanish vocabulary related to deep emotion, introspection, and personal struggle. It’s a masterpiece of dramatic delivery, showcasing the 'Prince of Song' at his most vulnerable and honest as he confronts his own demons.

[English]
I wish for five minutes
A good mirror, an old lamp, and my heart
To look at myself openly
After undressing, to show myself just as I am
I wish for five minutes
To stay still with my secrets and meditate
To tell myself for a moment
If it’s enough already or if I can endure something more
And see to what extent it’s worth it
To wander from wind to wind, acting like a weathervane
And see to what extent it’s natural
To seek out waves for oneself and create a storm
I wish for five minutes
A flat roof over my hands and some light
And to talk to myself honestly
And ask myself without escaping, what are you searching for?
I wish for five minutes
A fine blade and to open myself entirely, wide open
To judge myself honestly
To dry my forehead and simply reflect
And see to what extent it’s worth it
To wander from wind to wind, acting like a weathervane
And see to what extent it’s natural
To seek out waves for oneself and create a storm
And see to what extent I have the honor
Of being my own slave or my own master
And I have five minutes
What I don’t have is courage
