You came in like - a ray of light

Like a charming breeze

You freed my captive heart

With your spell

Your sweetness ran - through my veins

I believed in your intention

I didn't think it was - a deception

Nor a lie, your love

You tell me - someone's calling you

You leave without a goodbye

I know very well you'll be - in his arms

Tell me, what do I do?

What do I do with my lips

If they beg for your kisses?

What do I do with my hands

When they plead - for your return?

What do I do - with my nights?

What do I do with my days?

What do I do with your essence

That clings to mine?

Tell me, what do I do?

♪

We only talk - when you can

I hug you in hiding

What wouldn't I do to have you

By my side at dawn?

My friends say - to forget you

That before you - I wasn't the same

Before you my life - had no meaning

Before you I didn't know how to love

What do I do with my lips

If they beg for your kisses?

What do I do with my hands

When they plead - for your return?

What do I do - with my nights?

What do I do with my days?

What do I do with your essence

That clings to mine?

Tell me, what do I do?

Ah, ah

Mmm, oh, oh

♪

Ay, ajá, ay

Ay, ay, ay

Oh, oh

What do I do with my lips

If they beg for your kisses?

What do I do with my hands

When they plead - for your return?

What do I do - with my nights?

What do I do with my days?

What do I do with your essence

That clings to mine?

Tell me, what do I do?

Ay, ah, ah

Entraste como un rayo de luz

Como un aire encantador

Liberaste con tu hechizo

A mi recluso corazón

Tu dulzura corrió por mis venas

Creí en tu intención

No pensé que fuese un engaño

Ni una mentira tu amor

Me dices que te está llamando

Te vas sin un adiós

Sé muy bien que harás tus brazos

Dime, ¿qué hago yo?

¿Qué hago con mis labios

Si me ruegan tus besos?

¿Qué hago con mis manos

Cuando suplican tu regreso?

¿Qué hago con mis noches?

¿Qué hago con mis días?

¿Qué hago con tu esencia

Que se aferra a la mía?

Dime, ¿qué hago yo?

♪

Hablamos sólo cuando puedes

Te abrazo al esconder

¿Qué no haría para tenerte

A mi lado al amanecer?

Mis amigos dicen que te olvide

Que antes de ti no era igual

Antes de ti mi vida no tenía sentido

Antes de ti no sabía amar

¿Qué hago con mis labios

Si me ruegan tus besos?

¿Qué hago con mis manos
