[English]

And, what title do I get?

If I don't even know what I feel

Me and my heart, you know, we can't agree

I asked him: "don't fall in love"

And you see, he didn't care

Today it beats more than ever, but I feel like I'm dying

I suffer because I don't have you

Someone else got here first

I don't know what I'm doing here, like a fool, begging for someone else's love

Blessed be her damn luck

But mine is even worse

That allows me to have you, but only shared

I would make you happy a thousand lives

And another thousand more, if you want

It's a shame you're forbidden and, just like that, it can't be

I wish I could shout to the world

That we meet in secret

I know you would also like to shout that you are only mine

And you, what title do you give me

When you talk to your friends?

Do you tell them I'm your lover or do you tell them, like you tell me

That I'm the love of your life

...

I would make you happy a thousand lives

And another thousand more, if you want

It's a shame you're forbidden and, just like that, it can't be

I wish I could shout to the world

That we meet in secret

I know you would also like to shout that you are only mine

You, what title do you give me

When you talk to your friends?

Do you tell them I'm your lover or do you tell them, like you tell me

That I'm the love of your life

...

[Spanish]

Y, ¿qué título te pongo?

Si no sé ni lo que siento

Yo y mi corazón, ya sabes, no nos ponemos de acuerdo

Le pedí: "no te enamores"

Y ya ves, le valió cuerno

Hoy palpita más que nunca, pero yo siento que muero

Sufro porque no te tengo

Alguien más llegó primero

No sé qué hago aquí, de tonto, mendigando amor ajeno

Bendita su perra suerte

Pero más perra la mía

Que me permite tenerte, pero solo compartida

Yo te haría feliz mil vidas

Y otras mil más, si tú quieres

Lástima que eres prohibida y, así nomás, no se puede

Quisiera gritarle al mundo

Que nos vemos a escondidas

Yo sé que también quisieras gritar que eres solo mía

Y tú, ¿qué título me pones

Cuando hablas con tus amigas?

Les dices que soy tu amante o les dices, como a mí

Que soy el amor de tu vida

Yo te haría feliz mil vidas

Y otras mil más, si tú quieres

Lástima que seas prohibida y, así nomás, no se puede

Quisiera gritarle al mundo

Que nos vemos a escondidas

Sé que también quisieras gritar que eres solo mía

Tú, ¿qué título me pones

Cuando hablas con tus amigas?

Les dices que soy tu amante o les dices, como a mí

Que soy el amor de tu vida
