Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Cada camino que piso me lleva hacia él

Every road I walk leads me to him

Ninguno de mis cinco sentidos te olvida después

None of my five senses forget you after

Entre las cosas que hago y las que digo

Among the things I do and the things I say

Va siempre conmigo, es mi sombra fiel

He always goes with me, he's my faithful shadow

No es ningún juego de niños estar como estoy

It's no child's play to be the way I am

No como, no duermo, no vivo pensando en su amor

I don't eat, I don't sleep, I don't live thinking of his love

Siempre creí que los celos eran un cuento

I always thought jealousy was a story

Y son el infierno que arde sin control

And they are the hell that burns without control

Quién me lo iba a decir

Who would have told me

Que también a mí me robaría la razón

That he would also steal my reason

Mío

Mine

Ese hombre es mío

That man is mine

A medias, pero mío, mío, mío

Halfway, but mine, mine, mine

Para siempre mío

Forever mine

Ni te le acerques, es mío

Don't you get close to him, he's mine

Con otra, pero mío, mío, mío

With another, but mine, mine, mine

Ese hombre es mío

That man is mine

Soy una leona en celo dispuesta a luchar

I am a lioness in heat ready to fight

Con tal de defender lo que quiero, morir o matar

In order to defend what I want, die or kill

La vida no vale nada cuando a quien amas

Life is worth nothing when the one you love

Va matando sueños en tu corazón

Is killing dreams in your heart

Sé que sería feliz

I know I would be happy

Si un día por fin él me eligiera a mí

If one day he finally chose me

Mío

Mine

Ese hombre es mío

That man is mine

A medias, pero mío, mío, mío

Halfway, but mine, mine, mine

Para siempre mío

Ni te le acerques, es mío

Don't you get close to him, he's mine

Con otra, pero mío, mío, mío

With another, but mine, mine, mine

Ese hombre

That man

Nada ni nadie me lo quitará

Nothing and no one will take him away from me

Nada en el mundo nos separará

Nothing in the world will separate us
