Jenny

Jenny

tengo que hablar contigo

I need to talk to you

Siempre hablé como amigo

I always spoke as a friend

Hoy quiero hablar de amor

Today I want to talk about love

Ah, Jenny

Ah, Jenny

mira lo que ha pasado

Look what's happened

Estoy enamorado

I'm in love

La culpable eres tú

It's all your fault

El amor es así

That's how love is

No se puede saber cómo llega

You can't know how it arrives

El amor es así

That's how love is

No se puede saber dónde está

You can't know where it is

Ahora falta saber si me quieres igual

Now I need to know if you love me the same

Porque sabes que yo ya te quiero

Because you know that I already love you

Necesito saber si me quieres como te quiero yo

I need to know if you love me like I love you

Ah, Jenny

Ah, Jenny

tengo que hablar contigo

I need to talk to you

Siempre hablé como amigo

I always spoke as a friend

Hoy quiero hablar de amor (¡hey!)

Today I want to talk about love (hey!)

El amor es así

That's how love is

No se puede saber cuándo llega

You can't know when it arrives

El amor es así

That's how love is

No se puede saber dónde está

You can't know where it is

Ahora falta saber si me quieres igual

Now I need to know if you love me the same

Porque sabes que yo ya te quiero

Because you know that I already love you

Necesito saber si me quieres como te quiero yo

I need to know if you love me like I love you

Ah, Jenny

Ah, Jenny

tengo que hablar contigo

I need to talk to you

Siempre hablé como amigo

I always spoke as a friend

Hoy quiero hablar de amor

Today I want to talk about love

Jenny

Jenny

Mira lo que ha pasado

Look what's happened

Estoy enamorado

I'm in love

La culpable eres tú

It's all your fault

Jenny

Ah-ah-ah, Jenny

Ah-ah-ah, Jenny
