Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Por ese palpitar

For that heartbeat

Que tiene tu mirar

That your gaze has

Yo puedo presentir

I can sense

Que tú debes sufrir

That you must be suffering

Igual que sufro yo

Just like I suffer

Por esta situación

For this situation

Que nubla la razón

That clouds reason

Sin permitir pensar

Without allowing to think

En qué ha de concluir

About how it will end

El drama singular

The unique drama

Que existe entre los dos

That exists between us

Tratando simular

Trying to pretend

Tan solo una amistad mientras en realidad

Just a friendship while in reality

Se agita la pasión

Passion stirs

Que envuelve el corazón

That envelops the heart

Y que lo obliga a callar

And forces it to be silent

Yo te amo

I love you

Yo te amo

I love you

Tus labios de rubí

Your ruby lips

De rojo carmesí

Of crimson red

Parecen murmurar

Seem to whisper

Mil cosas sin hablar

A thousand things without speaking

Y yo que estoy aquí

And I who am here

Sentado frente a ti

Sitting in front of you

Me siento desangrar

I feel like I'm bleeding

Sin poder conversar

Without being able to converse

Tratando de decir

Trying to say

Tal vez será mejor

Maybe it would be better

Me marche, yo, de aquí

If I leave, from here

Para no vernos más

So we don't see each other again

Total, ¿qué más me da?

After all, what does it matter to me?

Ya sé que sufriré

I already know I will suffer

Pero al final tendré tranquilo el corazón

But in the end, I will have a calm heart

Y al fin podré gritar

And finally, I will be able to shout

Yo te amo

I love you

Yo te amo

I love you

...

...

Yo te amo

I love you

Por sobre todas las cosas del mundo

Above all things in the world

Tus labios de rubí

Your ruby lips

De rojo carmesí

Of crimson red

Parecen murmurar

Seem to whisper

Mil cosas sin hablar

A thousand things without speaking

Y yo que estoy aquí

And I who am here

Sentado frente a ti

Sitting in front of you

Me siento desangrar

I feel like I'm bleeding

Sin poder conversar

Without being able to converse

Tratando de decir

Trying to say

Tal vez será mejor

Maybe it would be better

Me marche, yo, de aquí

If I leave, from here

Para, para no vernos más

So, so we don't see each other again

Total, ¿qué más me da?

After all, what does it matter to me?

Ya sé que sufriré

I already know I will suffer

Pero al final tendré tranquilo el corazón

But in the end, I will have a calm heart

Y al fin podré gritar

And finally, I will be able to shout

Yo te amo

I love you

Yo te amo

I love you

Yo te amo

I love you
