Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

No me preguntes como se llama

Don't ask me what it's called

Ni como llego a mi vida

Or how it came into my life

No tengo nada que explicar, mejor olvida

I have nothing to explain, better forget

Lo que un día fuimos, lo que vivimos ya lo perdimos

What we once were, what we lived we have already lost

No me preguntes porque no tiene caso hablar de lo que dabas

Don't ask me why, there's no point in talking about what you gave

Ya no te amo, pero que cuando te amaba

I don't love you anymore, but when I did love you

En donde estabas no te veía no se podía

Where you were, I couldn't see you, it wasn't possible

Ya tengo alguien que no se quita cuando quiero darle un beso

I already have someone who doesn't leave when I want to give a kiss

Hace el amor divino es bueno para eso

Makes love divine, it's good for that

Tiene detalles que me enamoran que corroboran

Has details that make me fall in love, that confirm

Que tengo alguien que no estoy sola que ya tengo compañía

That I have someone, I'm not alone, I already have company

Amanecer entre sus brazos cada día

Waking up in their arms every day

Es lo mejor que me paso, que bueno que se enamoro de mi igual

It's the best thing that happened to me, how good that they fell in love with me too

Que yo

As I did

¡Pero que sentimiento, Paola Jara!

But what a feeling, Paola Jara!

Ya tengo alguien

Que no se quita cuando quiero darle un beso

Who doesn't leave when I want to give a kiss

Hace el amor divino es bueno JAJA para eso

Makes love divine, it's good HAHA for that

Tiene detalles que me enamoran

Has details that make me fall in love

Que corroboran

Que tengo alguien

Que no estoy sola que ya tengo compañía

I'm not alone, I already have company

Amanecer entre sus brazos cada día

Waking up in their arms every day

Es lo mejor que me paso, que bueno que se enamoro de mi igual

It's the best thing that happened to me, how good that they fell in love with me too

Que yo

As I did

De el, de sus besos de miel

Of them, of their honey kisses

Del sabor de su piel

Of the taste of their skin

...
