[English]

I was alone

When you arrived

To awaken this heart

I was a little scared to look into your eyes

The fear of suffering all over again

Took over me

I felt afraid

And somewhat bitter

At the thought of losing you too

But what can I do if you already live in my dreams?

I haven't stopped thinking about you for a single second

I think I need you

I am going to love you

I have imagined brushing your lips, touching your skin

Waking up together every morning watching the sunrise

But what have you done to me?

Beautiful woman

What have you done to me?

That I can no longer be without you

...

I have imagined brushing your lips, touching your skin

Waking up together every morning watching the sunrise

But what have you done to me?

Beautiful woman

What have you done to me?

That I can no longer be without you

I can no longer be without you

...

[Spanish]

Estaba solo

Cuando tú llegaste

A despertar a este corazón

Me dio un poco de miedo mirarte a los ojos

El temor de volver a sufrir otra vez

Se apoderó de mí

Sentí miedo

Y algo de amargura

El pensar perderte también

¿Pero qué puedo hacer si en mis sueños ya vives?

No he dejado un instante de pensar en ti

Creo que te necesito

Te voy a amar

He imagino rozando tus labios, tocando tu piel

Despertar juntos cada mañana viendo amanecer

¿Pero qué me has dado?

Hermosa mujer

¿Pero qué me has dado?

Que ya no puedo estar sin ti

He imagino rozando tus labios, tocando tu piel

Despertar juntos cada mañana viendo amanecer

¿Pero qué me has dado?

Hermosa mujer

¿Pero qué me has dado?

Que ya no puedo estar sin ti

Ya no puedo estar sin ti
