Quiero

I want

Que tus labios digan que eres mía

To hear your lips say you're mine

Que no soportas esta lejanía

That you can't stand this distance

Que si yo no estoy contigo es muy largo el día

That if I'm not with you, the day feels so long

Quiero

I want

Escuchar que me hablas sin reproches

To hear you speak to me without reproach

Y que si he fallado me perdones

And if I’ve failed, to forgive me

Que si yo no estoy contigo es muy fría la noche

That if I'm not with you, the night feels so cold

Dime que me quieres, dime que me amas

Tell me you love me, tell me you adore me

Dime que te mueres cuando te hago falta

Tell me you're dying when I’m missing you

Que sin mí la vida es algo diferente

That without me, life is something different

Te falta mi presencia porque te hace fuerte

You miss my presence because it makes you strong

Dime que me quieres, dime que me amas

Tell me you love me, tell me you adore me

Que sin mí la vida no sirve de nada

That without me, life’s nothing

Dime que soy más de lo que yo imagino

Tell me I’m more than I think

Dime que te mueres por estar conmigo

Tell me you're dying to be with me

Nomás conmigo

Only with me
