[English]

I am

just as you want me

and I love you

like I’ve never loved anyone before

I am

the one who truly

understands your life

and if I can grasp what you’re holding back

in me

but

if you kiss me

maybe

I’ll understand you even better

I am

the person

you need

the one who runs by your side when you ask for

love

You don’t know the bitter days

or the sad hours I’ve spent

waiting silently for you

to remember me

But one day

you’ll understand

that I am

just as you desire me

just as you want me

but

if you kiss me

maybe

I’ll understand you even better

I am

the person

you need

the one who runs by your side when you ask for

love

You don’t know the bitter days

or the sad hours I’ve spent

waiting silently for you

to remember me

but one day

you’ll understand

that I am

just as you desire me

just as you want me

just as you want me

just as you want me

just as you want me

just as you want

just as you want me

...

yo soy

como quieras tú

y te amo

como nunca a nadie amé

yo soy

quien deberas

tu vida comprende

y sí logra entender lo que guardas

en mí

pero

si me besas tú

puede

que te entienda yo mejor

yo soy

la persona

que tú necesitas

la que corre a tu lado si pides

amor

tú no sabes los días amargos

ni las horas que triste he pasado

esperando en silencio a que tú

te acordaras de mí

Pero un día

tú comprenderás

que yo soy

como lo deseas tú

como quieras tú

pero

si me besas tú

puede

que te entienda yo mejor

yo soy

la persona

que tú necesitas

la que corre a tu lado si pides

amor

tú no sabes los días amargos

ni las horas que triste he pasado

esperando en silencio a que tú

te acordaras de mí

pero un día

tú comprenderás

que yo soy

como lo deseas tú

como quieras tú

como quieras tú

como quieras tú

como quieras tú

como quieras

como quieras tú
