[English]

Maybe it was the desire

That I felt that night

And seeing you among the others

I sought your company

Perhaps I was only looking for

Love for just a few hours

But getting to know you a little

I noticed you were alone

Maybe it was your eyes

Open and serene

Maybe it was when you turned around

Your hair caught my attention

Maybe it was your lips

Of a good and bad girl

Maybe it was the sweetness

That I discovered in your face

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

Yours and no one else’s

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

Yours and no one else’s

Maybe I wanted to forget

My bitterness with you

Perhaps I sought in your body

A little tenderness

Maybe it’s that next to you

I felt all my pride

Maybe you’ll never know

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

Yours and no one else’s

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

Yours and no one else’s

...

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

Yours and no one else’s

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

Yours and no one else’s

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

Yours and no one else’s

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

Yours and no one else’s

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

But you made me yours

Yours and no one else’s

...

[Spanish]

Quizá fuera el deseo

Que esa noche sentía

Y al verte entre las otras

Busqué tu compañía

Quizás solo buscaba

Amor para unas horas

Y al conocerte un poco

Noté que estabas sola

Quizá fueron tus ojos

Abiertos y serenos

Quizá fue que al volverte

Me provocó tu pelo

Quizá fueron tus labios

De niña buena y mala

Quizá fue la dulzura

Que descubrí en tu cara

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Tuyo nada más

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Tuyo nada más

Tal vez quise olvidar

Contigo mi amargura

Quizá busqué en tu cuerpo

Un poco de ternura

Quizá es que junto a ti

Sentí todo mi orgullo

Quizá nunca lo sepas

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Tuyo nada más

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Tuyo nada más

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Tuyo nada más

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Tuyo nada más

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Tuyo nada más

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Tuyo nada más

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Pero me hiciste tuyo

Tuyo nada más
