Cualquier excusa, cualquier pretexto
Any excuse, any pretext
Lo aprovecho para estar cerca de ti
I take advantage of it to be close to you
Y es que me gustas y en secreto
And it's that I like you, and in secret
Yo me conformo con mirarte sonreír
I’m content just to see you smile
Tú no lo sabes ni te imaginas
You don’t know it, nor can you imagine
Lo que yo siento desde que te conocí
What I feel since I met you
Y quizás nunca yo te lo diga
And maybe I’ll never tell you
Porque creo que va a ser mejor así
Because I believe it’s better this way
Solo, solo, solo yo lo sé
Only, only, only I know it
Que a lo largo y a lo ancho de mi alma
That throughout the length and breadth of my soul
Hay un amor que cada día se agiganta
There’s a love that grows bigger every day
Y es la ilusión que me da vida y me levanta
And it’s the dream that gives me life and lifts me up
Solo, solo, solo yo lo sé
Only, only, only I know it
Que se ilumina mi mirada al solo verte
That my gaze lights up just by seeing you
Y que daría hasta la vida por poseerte
And I would even give my life to possess you
Eso es soñar, sé que jamás podré tenerte
That’s what dreaming is, I know I can never have you
Tú no lo sabes ni te imaginas
You don’t know it, nor can you imagine
Lo que yo siento desde que te conocí
What I feel since I met you
Y quizás nunca yo te lo diga
And perhaps I’ll never tell you
Porque creo que va a ser mejor así
Because I believe it’s better this way
Solo, solo, solo yo lo sé
Alone, alone, alone I know it
Que a lo largo y a lo ancho de mi alma
That throughout the depths of my soul
Hay un amor que cada día se agiganta
There's a love that grows larger every day
Y es la ilusión que me da vida y me levanta
And it's the hope that gives me life and lifts me up
Solo, solo, solo yo lo sé
Alone, alone, alone I know it
Que se ilumina mi mirada al solo verte
That my gaze lights up just by seeing you
Y que daría hasta la vida por poseerte
And that I would give even my life to possess you
Eso es soñar, sé que jamás podré tenerte
That's dreaming, I know I can never have you
(Solo, solo yo lo sé)
(Alone, alone I know it)
Mi amor imposible, mi sueño divino
My impossible love, my divine dream
Nada en este mundo, mi reina, se compara contigo
Nothing in this world, my queen, compares to you
(Solo, solo yo lo sé)
(Only, only I know it)
He vivido siempre esperando por ti
I've always lived waiting for you
Y este sentimiento me inspira y me hace feliz
And this feeling inspires me and makes me happy
(Solo, solo yo lo sé)
(Only, only I know it)
No sabes tú cómo me gustas
You don't know how much I like you
De un extremo a otro, mamita, y de punta a punta
From one end to the other, baby, and from tip to tip
(Solo, solo yo lo sé)
(Only, only I know it)
Estoy al acecho detrás de tus pasos
I'm lurking behind your steps
Daría la vida por tenerte en mis brazos
I'd give my life to have you in my arms
