Que sí, que sí, ¡qué sí!
Oh yes, oh yes, indeed!
Que me quieres, que me buscas
That you love me, that you seek me
Cuando llego a casa tarde me preguntas
When I get home late, you ask me
Cómo y dónde te he engañado
How and where I've deceived you
Y así, y así, ¡y así!
And like that, and like that, yes!
Me persigues, me vigilas
You chase me, you watch me
Me interrogas, me atosigas
You interrogate me, you suffocate me
Cuando digo que tú estás obsesionado
When I say that you’re obsessed
Que sí, que sí, ¡qué sí!
Oh yes, oh yes, indeed!
Siempre atento, vigilando
Always attentive, watching
Cada carta que recibo la censuras
Every letter I receive, you censor it,
Y controlas lo que escribo
And you control what I write.
Y así, y así, ¡y así!
And like this, and like this, ¡and like this!
Si una cita, si una nota
If a date, if a note,
Me imaginas sumergida en la oscura
Can you imagine me submerged in the dark
Doble vida de una amante
Double life of a lover?
Dame la libertad,
Give me freedom,
Dame la libertad, libertad, libertad, libertad, ¡libertad!
Give me freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, ¡freedom!
Adiós, adiós, ¡adiós!
Goodbye, goodbye, ¡goodbye!
Yo me marcho, ahí te dejo
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving you here.
No tuviste confianza y te quedas
You didn't have trust and you stay
Imaginando tu venganza
Imagining your revenge
Amor, amor, ¡amor!
Love, love, love!
Yo fui tuya, ya lo has visto
I was yours, you've seen it
Mas mi amor se ha terminado de ponerlo
But my love has finally run out
Tanto a prueba en todos lados
So much put to the test everywhere
Adiós, adiós, ¡adiós!
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Esta vida, que me espera
This life, that awaits me
Puede ser más divertida, más auténtica
Can be more fun, more authentic
Más libre, más sincera
More free, more sincere
Amor, amor, ¡amor!
Love, love, oh love!
No me busques, que no existo
Don't look for me, I don't exist
No supiste darme nada
You never knew how to give me anything
Solamente me tuviste atormentada
You only kept me tormented
Dame la libertad
Give me freedom
Dame la libertad, libertad, libertad, libertad, ¡libertad!
Give me freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, oh freedom!
Dame la libertad
Give me freedom
Dame la libertad, libertad, libertad, libertad, ¡libertad!
Give me freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, oh freedom!
Adiós, adiós, ¡adiós!
Goodbye, goodbye, oh goodbye!
Yo me marcho, ahí te dejo
I’m leaving, here I leave you
No tuviste confianza y te quedas
You had no trust and you stay
Aquí dando tu venganza
Here seeking your revenge
Amor, amor, ¡amor!
Love, love, ¡love!
Yo fui tuya, ya lo has visto
I was yours, you've seen it
Mas mi amor se ha terminado de ponerlo
But my love has almost finished being there
Tanto a prueba en todos lados
So tested everywhere
Adiós, adiós, ¡adiós!
Goodbye, goodbye, ¡goodbye!
Esta vida, que me espera
This life, that awaits me
Puede ser más divertida, más auténtica, más libre, más sincera
Can be more fun, more authentic, more free, more sincere
Amor, amor, ¡amor!
Love, love, ¡love!
No me busques
Don't look for me
Que no existo
Because I don't exist
No supiste darme nada
You didn't know how to give me anything
Solamente me tuviste atormentada
You only kept me tormented
Dame la libertad
Give me freedom
Dame la libertad, libertad, libertad, libertad, ¡libertad!
Give me freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom!
