[English]

I remember you like that

Your hair free

Burning ice

Different from the rest

I remember you like that

Letting yourself be admired

Untouchable, inaccessible

Unreal, unreal

Cold as the wind

Dangerous as the sea

Sweet as a kiss

You don't let yourself be loved

That's why

I don't know if I have you

I don't know if you're coming or going

You are like a wild horse

...

I remember you like that

Playing at falling in love

Vain, capricious

Ideal

I remember you like that

Loving without loving

Impassive, impossible

To reach, to reach

Cold as the wind

Dangerous as the sea

Sweet as a kiss

You don't let yourself be loved

That's why

I don't know if I have you

I don't know if you're coming or going

You are like a wild horse

...

Cold as the wind

Dangerous as the sea

Sweet as a kiss

You don't let yourself be loved

That's why

I don't know if I have you

I don't know if you're coming or going

You are like a wild horse

Oh, oh-oh

...

I don't know if I have you

I don't know if you're coming or going

You are like a wild horse, oh

...

Cold as the wind

Dangerous as the sea

Sweet as a kiss

You don't let yourself be loved

...

[Spanish]

Te recuerdo así

Tu pelo en libertad

Hielo ardiente

Diferente a las demás

Te recuerdo así

Dejándote admirar

Intocable, inaccesible

Irreal, irreal

Fría como el viento

Peligrosa como el mar

Dulce como un beso

No te dejas amar

Por eso

No sé si te tengo

No sé si vienes o te vas

Eres como un potro sin domar

Te recuerdo así

Jugando a enamorar

Vanidosa, caprichosa

Ideal

Te recuerdo así

Amando sin amar

Impasible, imposible

De alcanzar, de alcanzar

Fría como el viento

Peligrosa como el mar

Dulce como un beso

No te dejas amar

Por eso

No sé si te tengo

No sé si vienes o te vas

Eres como un potro sin domar

Fría como el viento

Peligrosa como el mar

Dulce como un beso

No te dejas amar

Por eso

No sé si te tengo

No sé si vienes o te vas

Eres como un potro sin domar

Oh, oh-oh

No sé si te tengo

No sé si vienes o te vas

Eres como un potro sin domar, oh

Fría como el viento

Peligrosa como el mar

Dulce como un beso

No te dejas amar
