[English]

For that heartbeat

That your gaze has

I can sense

That you must be suffering

Just like I suffer

For this situation

That clouds reason

Without allowing to think

About how it will end

The unique drama

That exists between us

Trying to pretend

Just a friendship while in reality

Passion stirs

That envelops the heart

And forces it to be silent

I love you

I love you

Your ruby lips

Of crimson red

Seem to whisper

A thousand things without speaking

And I who am here

Sitting in front of you

I feel like I'm bleeding

Without being able to converse

Trying to say

Maybe it would be better

If I leave, from here

So we don't see each other again

After all, what does it matter to me?

I already know I will suffer

But in the end, I will have a calm heart

And finally, I will be able to shout

I love you

I love you

...

I love you

Above all things in the world

Your ruby lips

Of crimson red

Seem to whisper

A thousand things without speaking

And I who am here

Sitting in front of you

I feel like I'm bleeding

Without being able to converse

Trying to say

Maybe it would be better

If I leave, from here

So, so we don't see each other again

After all, what does it matter to me?

I already know I will suffer

But in the end, I will have a calm heart

And finally, I will be able to shout

I love you

I love you

I love you

...

[Spanish]

Por ese palpitar

Que tiene tu mirar

Yo puedo presentir

Que tú debes sufrir

Igual que sufro yo

Por esta situación

Que nubla la razón

Sin permitir pensar

En qué ha de concluir

El drama singular

Que existe entre los dos

Tratando simular

Tan solo una amistad mientras en realidad

Se agita la pasión

Que envuelve el corazón

Y que lo obliga a callar

Yo te amo

Yo te amo

Tus labios de rubí

De rojo carmesí

Parecen murmurar

Mil cosas sin hablar

Y yo que estoy aquí

Sentado frente a ti

Me siento desangrar

Sin poder conversar

Tratando de decir

Tal vez será mejor

Me marche, yo, de aquí

Para no vernos más

Total, ¿qué más me da?

Ya sé que sufriré

Pero al final tendré tranquilo el corazón

Y al fin podré gritar

Yo te amo

Yo te amo

Yo te amo

Por sobre todas las cosas del mundo

Tus labios de rubí

De rojo carmesí

Parecen murmurar

Mil cosas sin hablar

Y yo que estoy aquí

Sentado frente a ti

Me siento desangrar

Sin poder conversar

Tratando de decir

Tal vez será mejor

Me marche, yo, de aquí

Para, para no vernos más

Total, ¿qué más me da?

Ya sé que sufriré

Pero al final tendré tranquilo el corazón

Y al fin podré gritar

Yo te amo

Yo te amo

Yo te amo
