[English]

What else do you want from me

Since I've already given you everything

I gave you my affection, I gave you my trust

I gave you my warmth

What else do you want from me

I gave you my life

For just a minute

For just a little bit

Of your great passion

And all for what

And all for what

Why all this love

Why did you give me hope

Why did you make me fall in love

My heart

And all for what

And all for what

If in the end I lost

But I don't regret it

If at every moment

You made me happy

...

What else do you want from me

Where do you want to go

That you haven't realized

That by not looking at you

You could kill me

What else do you want from me

Tell me, please

I can't find words anymore

I can't find the way

To give you my love

And all for what

And all for what

Why all this love

Why did you give me hope

Why did you make me fall in love

My heart

...

And all for what

And all for what

If in the end I lost

But I don't regret it

If at every moment

You made me happy

(And all for what)

...

[Spanish]

Qué más quieres de mí

Si ya todo te di

Te di mi cariño, te di mi confianza

Te di mi calor

Qué más quieres de mí

Mi vida te la di

Por tan solo un minuto

Por tan solo un poquito

De tu gran pasión

Y todo para qué

Y todo para qué

Para qué tanto amor

Para qué ilusionaste

Para qué enamoraste

Mi corazón

Y todo para qué

Y todo para qué

Si al final yo perdí

Pero no me arrepiento

Si en cada momento

Me hiciste feliz

Qué más quieres de mí

A dónde quieres llegar

Que no te has dado cuenta

Que por no mirarte

Me puedes matar

Qué más quieres de mí

Dímelo, por favor

Ya no encuentro palabras

No encuentro la forma

De darte mi amor

Y todo para qué

Y todo para qué

Para qué tanto amor

Para qué ilusionaste

Para qué enamoraste

Mi corazón

Y todo para qué

Y todo para qué

Si al final yo perdí

Pero no me arrepiento

Si en cada momento

Me hiciste feliz

(Y todo para qué)
