Para que tú me quieras
For you to love me
Tengo que quererme
I have to love myself
Para poder ser tuya
To be able to be yours
Tengo que dejarme ser
I have to let myself be
Antes que te lo diga
Before I say it to you
Tengo que escucharme, escucharme, escucharme, escuchar mi corazón
I have to listen to myself, listen to myself, listen to myself, listen to my heart
Para que tú me quieras
For you to love me
Tengo que quererme
I have to love myself
No tengo que hacer nada que no quiera hacer
I don't have to do anything I don't want to do
Para que tú me entiendas
For you to understand me
No voy a entenderme
I'm not going to understand myself
Solo falta atreverme, amarme como soy
I just need to dare, to love myself as I am
Me pondré mis zapatos de fiesta
I'll put on my party shoes
Bailaré hasta el amanecer
I'll dance until dawn
Sin pedir ni un perdón ni respuesta
Without asking for a pardon or an answer
Sin cambiar mi manera de ser
Without changing my way of being
Camarero tráigame otra copa
Waiter, bring me another drink
Celebremos que estamos aquí
Let's celebrate that we're here
Tanto tiempo queriendo ser otra
For so long wanting to be someone else
Y ahora sé que me quieres a mí
And now I know that you love me
Para que tú me quieras
For you to love me
Tengo que quererme
I have to love myself
Dejar la duda a un lado
Put doubt aside
Vivir con convicción
Live with conviction
Todos tenemos ese algo diferente
We all have that something different
Sobresale entre la gente y no hace falta nada más
It stands out among the crowd and needs nothing else
Ven te invitó y nos vamos de fiesta
Come on, I invite you, let's go party
Bailemos hasta el amanecer
Let's dance until dawn
Sin pedir ni un perdón ni respuesta
Without asking for forgiveness or an answer
Sin cambiar tu manera de ser
Without changing who you are
Camarero tráigame otra copa
Waiter, bring me another drink
Celebremos que estamos aquí
Let's celebrate that we're here
Tanto tiempo queriendo ser otra
For so long wanting to be someone else
Y ahora sé que me quieres a mí
And now I know you want me too
Para para papa la-la-la-la-la
Stop, stop, baby la-la-la-la-la
Para para papa la-la-la-la-la
Stop, stop, baby la-la-la-la-la
Para que tú me quieras
So that you love me
Tengo quererme, quererme, quererme como yo te quiero a ti
I need to love myself, love myself, love myself like I love you
