Hoy volví a pensar en ti
Today I thought of you again
Hace siglos que
It's been ages since
No te llamo ni tú a mí (ah)
I haven't called you and you haven't called me (ah)
Suele suceder
It usually happens
A nadie más dije: "amor"
To no one else did I say: 'love'
A nadie, a nadie
To no one, to no one
Desde entonces ninguno encontré
Since then I haven't found anyone
Que se parezca a ti
Who resembles you
Que se parezca a mí por dentro
Who resembles me inside
Escucha atento el mensaje que es para ti
Listen closely to the message that's for you
¿Dime si estás ahí?
Tell me if you're there?
Que yo te conozco y sé que no vas a tener, alternativa a mí
Because I know you and I know you won’t have an alternative to me.
Lo sé, lo sé, ¿por qué?, lo sé
I know, I know, why?, I know.
Te diría una mentira, mía
I would tell you a lie, mine.
Si dijese que, no-no-no
If I said that, no-no-no.
No he tenido compañías, ah-ah
I haven't had companions, ah-ah.
Ni rocé otra piel
Nor have I touched another skin.
Busqué en cada boca encontrar
I searched in every mouth to find.
Tu nombre, tu nombre
Your name, your name.
Esperé demasiado y al fin
I waited too long and finally.
Ya te borré de mí
I've erased you from me
Ya me alejé de ti, lo sabes
I've distanced myself from you, you know it
Escucha atento el mensaje que mando aquí
Listen closely to the message I send here
¿Dime si estás ahí?
Tell me if you're there?
Que yo te conozco y mi puesto no es junto a ti
I know you, and my place isn't beside you
Sé depender de mí, ah
I've learned to depend on myself, ah
Añorarás cosas de mí
You'll miss things about me
Que ya nunca más tendrás
That you'll never have again
Oh-oh, no
Escucha atento, no vas a tener
Listen closely, you won't have
Alternativa a mí
Alternative to me
Lo sé, lo sé
I know, I know
Alternativa a mí, lo sé
Alternative to me, I know
Hoy volví a pensar en ti
Today I thought about you again
Suele suceder
It tends to happen
