[English]

You can have two loves at the same time and love them

Each one, at once, with the same feeling

I don’t feel guilty for being doubly in love

I haven’t been given the power to fall out of love

Trapped in the net of two loves

My … double

...

My heart, my heart

Resist your madness as much as you can

...

If my love is split in two and I love both so much

Which one should I forget, without its forgetting killing me?

If loving is a crime, punish me twice

If love deserves it, I am doubly guilty

Trapped in the net of two loves

My joys and my pains double

...

My heart, my heart

Resist your madness as much as you can

Trapped in the net of two loves

My joys and my pains double

...

My heart, my heart

Resist your madness as much as you can

...

[Spanish]

Se pueden tener a un tiempo dos amores y querer

A cada uno a la vez con el mismo sentimiento

Yo no me siento culpable de ser doble enamorado

A mi no me ha sido dado poder desenamorarme

Atrapado en la redes de dos amores

Se redoblan mis gozos y mis dolores

Corazón mío, corazón mío

Resiste cuanto puedas tu desvarío

Si mi amor está en dos partes y quiero tanto a las dos

¿A cuál he de olvidar yo, sin que su olvido me mate?

Si es delito enamorase que me castiguen dos veces

Que si el amor lo merece yo soy dos veces culpable

Atrapado en la redes de dos amores

Se redoblan mis gozos y mis dolores

Corazón mío, corazón mío

Resiste cuanto puedas tu desvarío

Atrapado en la redes de dos amores

Se redoblan mis gozos y mis dolores

Corazón mío, corazón mío

Resiste cuanto puedas tu desvarío
