| HOY QUE LLEVO EN LA BOCA | Today that I have in my mouth |
| EL SABOR A VENCIDO | the taste of defeat, |
| PROCURA TENER A LA MANO | try to have within reach |
| A UN AMIGO QUE CUIDE | a friend to take care |
| TU FRENTE Y TU VOZ | of your forehead and your voice, |
| Y QUE CUIDE DE TI, | and who’d take care of you, |
| PARA TI Y TUS VESTIDOS | of you and your clothes. |
| Y A TUS PENSAMIENTOS | And your thoughts |
| MANTENLOS ATENTOS | keep them alert |
| Y A MANO A TU AMIGO | and your friend within reach. |
| LA IMPORTANCIA DE VERTE | The importance of seeing you |
| MORDERTE LOS LABIOS | and seeing you |
| DE PREOCUPACION | worried biting your lips, |
| ES HOY TAN NECESARIA | it’s so important today |
| COMO VERTE SIEMPRE | as it’s seeing you always |
| COMO ANDAR SIGUIENDOTE | As it’s following you |
| CON LA CABEZA | in my mind, |
| EN LA IMAGINACION | in my thoughts. |
| PORQUE SABES, | Because you know, |
| Y SI NO LO SABES, | and if you don’t know, |
| NO IMPORTA, | it doesn’t matter |
| YO SE LO QUE SIENTO | I know what I feel, |
| YO SE LO QUE CORTAN | I know how they cut |
| DESPUES UNOS LABIOS | afterwards some lips |
| ESOS LABIOS ROJOS Y AFILADOS | Those lips, red and sharp, |
| Y ESTOS PUÑOS | and these fists |
| QUE TIEMBLAN DE RABIA | that tremble with rage |
| CUANDO ESTAS CONTENTA | when you’re happy, |
| QUE TIEMBLAN DE MUERTE | that tremble with fear |
| SI ALGUIEN SE TE ACERCARA | if someone to you |
| A TI. | comes near. |
| HOY PROCURA | Today take care |
| QUE AQUELLA VENTANA | that the window |
| QUE MIRA A LA CALLE | that oversees the street |
| EN TU CUARTO | from your room |
| SE TENGA CERRADA | it’s closed |
| PORQUE NO VAYA A SER | lest I might not be |
| YO EL VIENTO DE LA NOCHE | the wind of the night |
| Y TE MIDA | and that I’d measure you |
| Y RECORRA LA PIEL | and run over your skin |
| CON MI ALIENTO | with my breath |
| Y HASTA | and that I’d even |
| TE ACARICIE | caress you |
| Y TE DEJE DORMIR | and let you sleep |
| Y ME META EN TU PECHO | and that I get inside your chest |
| Y ME VUELVA A SALIR | and get out again |
| Y RESPIRES DE MI… | and you breathe me… |
| O ME VUELVA UNA ESTRELLA | Or that I turn into a star |
| Y TE ESTRECHE | and that I hold you tight |
| EN MIS RAYOS | in my rays |
| Y TODO | and all |
| POR NO HACERME | because you didn’t |
| UN POCO DE CASO. | pay attention to me. |
| TEN MIEDO DE MAYO | Be afraid of May |
| Y TEN MIEDO DE MI | and be afraid of me |
| PORQUE NO VAYA A SER | lest it not might be |
| QUE CANSADO DE VERTE | that tired of seeing you |
| ME META EN TUS BRAZOS | I get in your arms |
| PARA POSEERTE | to make you mine |
| Y TE ARRANQUE | and tear off |
| LAS ROPAS | your clothes |
| Y TE BESE LOS PIES | and kiss your feet |
| Y TE LLAME MI DIOSA | and call you my goddess |
| Y NO PUEDA MIRARTE | and that I cannot see you |
| DE FRENTE | to the face |
| Y TE DIGA | and that I tell you, |
| LLORANDO DESPUES: | Weeping, later on: |
| POR FAVOR TENME MIEDO | Please be afraid of me, |
| TIEMBLA MUCHO DE MIEDO MUJER | tremble with fear woman |
| PORQUE NO PUEDE SER….. | Because it cannot be… |
