[English]

Why did I meet you, if you belonged to another?

Oh, only to suffer

Your eyes, I carry them in my soul

I cannot erase your laughter

And my skin shivers when I remember you

Why did I meet you, oh, only to suffer?

And alone in my bed, in the early morning

I feel sad and I cry for you

I think about how he holds you and tells you, "I love you"

And you soothe his longing, he is so happy

But you, you love me

And the truth is, you suffer just like I do

And the truth is, you're afraid to say

That you no longer feel anything for him

And the truth is, you're afraid to speak

And tell him that it is I

Who makes you dream

I feel sad and I cry for you

I think about how he holds you and tells you, "I love you"

But you, you love me

And the truth is, you suffer just like I do

And the truth is, you're afraid to say

That you no longer feel anything for him

And the truth is, you're afraid to speak

And tell him that it is I

Who makes you dream

Who makes you dream

Who makes you dream

It can only be me

Who makes you dream

[Spanish]

Porque te conocí, si tú eras de otro

Ay, solo para sufrir

Tus ojos, los llevo en el alma

Tu risa no puedo borrar

Y mi piel se estremece cuando te recuerdo

Porque te conocí, ay, solo para sufrir

Y solo en mi cama, en la madrugada

Yo me siento triste y lloro por ti

Pienso que él te abraza y te dice: "Te amo"

Y apagas sus ansias, él es muy feliz

Pero tú, tú me amas a mí

Y es que tú sufres igual que yo

Y es que tú tienes miedo decir

Que por él ya no sientes nada

Y es que tú tienes miedo hablar

Y decirle que soy yo

Quien te hace soñar

Yo me siento triste y lloro por ti

Pienso que él te abraza y te dice: "Te amo"

Pero tú, tú me amas a mí

Y es que tú sufres igual que yo

Y es que tú tienes miedo decir

Que por él ya no sientes nada

Y es que tú tienes miedo hablar

Y decirle que soy yo

Quien te hace soñar

Quien te hace soñar

Quien te hace soñar

Solo puedo ser yo

Quien te hace soñar
