[English]

I'm writing to tell you

That I'm dying for you,

That I long to see you again,

To have you next to me.

I miss your beautiful eyes,

I can't forget them

Not to mention your sweet kisses

That made me dream.

I'm very far away here

You know it's true,

Today I live with another love

But I feel bad.

I want to ask you now,

With all my pain,

Sorry for not having kept

Fighting for your love.

Beautiful star, the blood of life runs in me.

Beautiful star, the entire universe is for you.

Today I must admit

I pretended to give you friendship,

Forgive me again,

It was not out of malice.

And when you read the letter

You will feel my suffering,

That even being with another

I keep thinking about you.

...

[Spanish]

Te escribo para decir

Que me muero por ti,

Que ansío volverte a ver,

Tenerte junto a mí.

Extraño tus ojos bellos,

No los puedo olvidar

Ni hablar de tus dulces besos

Que me hicieron soñar.

Muy lejos estoy aquí

Tú sabes que es verdad,

Hoy vivo con otro amor

Pero me siento mal.

Quisiera pedirte ahora,

Con todo mi dolor,

Perdón por no haber seguido

Luchando por tu amor.

Bella estrella, la sangre de la vida corre en mí.

Bella estrella, el universo entero es para ti.

Hoy debo reconocer

Fingí darte amistad,

Otra vez perdóname,

Que no fue por maldad.

Y cuando leas la carta

Sentirás mi sufrir,

Que aun estando con otra

Sigo pensando en ti.
