[English]

Every road I walk leads me to him

None of my five senses forget you after

Among the things I do and the things I say

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

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

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

I always thought jealousy was a story

And they are the hell that burns without control

Who would have told me

That he would also steal my reason

Mine

That man is mine

Halfway, but mine, mine, mine

Forever mine

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

With another, but mine, mine, mine

That man is mine

I am a lioness in heat ready to fight

In order to defend what I want, die or kill

Life is worth nothing when the one you love

Is killing dreams in your heart

I know I would be happy

If one day he finally chose me

Mine

That man is mine

Halfway, but mine, mine, mine

Forever mine

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

With another, but mine, mine, mine

That man

Nothing and no one will take him away from me

Nothing in the world will separate us

...

Mine

That man is mine

Halfway, but mine, mine, mine

Forever mine

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

With another, but mine, mine, mine

That man is mine

...

[Spanish]

Cada camino que piso me lleva hacia él

Ninguno de mis cinco sentidos te olvida después

Entre las cosas que hago y las que digo

Va siempre conmigo, es mi sombra fiel

No es ningún juego de niños estar como estoy

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

Siempre creí que los celos eran un cuento

Y son el infierno que arde sin control

Quién me lo iba a decir

Que también a mí me robaría la razón

Mío

Ese hombre es mío

A medias, pero mío, mío, mío

Para siempre mío

Ni te le acerques, es mío

Con otra, pero mío, mío, mío

Ese hombre es mío

Soy una leona en celo dispuesta a luchar

Con tal de defender lo que quiero, morir o matar

La vida no vale nada cuando a quien amas

Va matando sueños en tu corazón

Sé que sería feliz

Si un día por fin él me eligiera a mí

Mío

Ese hombre es mío

A medias, pero mío, mío, mío

Para siempre mío

Ni te le acerques, es mío

Con otra, pero mío, mío, mío

Ese hombre

Nada ni nadie me lo quitará

Nada en el mundo nos separará

Mío

Ese hombre es mío

A medias, pero mío, mío, mío

Para siempre mío

Ni te le acerques, es mío

Con otra, pero mío, mío, mío

Ese hombre es mío
