[English]

May God punish me!

But with you

I desire you so much

When will you be with me?

My heart wants you

And asks in its beats

It tells me why

It can't be with you

I will have to do

Something improper

To be able to achieve

What so much

I have wanted

A kidnapping of love

Today it has occurred to me

I will release my longings

That I have held back so much

I will tie your hands

On the day of the kidnapping

And I will tie you to the bed

Of my apartment

I won't turn off the light

To see your body

I want to know that it's you

Who I have with me

...

Little one

You will only have the right to remain silent

...

Ah, I almost forgot

Everything you say

Will be used against you

I will tie your hands

On the day of the kidnapping

And I will tie you to the bed

Of my apartment

I won't turn off the light

To see your body

I want to know that it's you

Who I have with me

...

[Spanish]

¡Qué me castigué Dios!

Pero contigo

Yo te deseo tanto

¿Cuándo vas a estar conmigo?

Mi corazón te quiere

Y pregunta en sus latidos

Me dice que por qué

No puede estar contigo

Voy a tener que hacer

Algo indebido

Para poder lograr

Lo que tanto

Yo he querido

Un secuestro de amor

Hoy se me ha ocurrido

Desahogaré mis ansias

Que tanto he detenido

Te amarraré las manos

El día del secuestro

Y te ataré en la cama

De mi departamento

No apagaré la luz

Para mirar tu cuerpo

Quiero saber que eres tú

A quien conmigo tengo

Chiquita

Solo tendrás derecho a permanecer callada

Ah, se me olvidaba

Todo lo que digas

Será usado en tu contra

Te amarraré las manos

El día del secuestro

Y te ataré en la cama

De mi departamento

No apagaré la luz

Para mirar tu cuerpo

Quiero saber que eres tú

A quien conmigo tengo
