El amor nos vuelve menso
Love makes us foolish
Entre más amor, más celos
The more love, the more jealousy
Y entre más celos, más llanto
And the more jealousy, the more tears
Sufriendo por amar tanto
Suffering for loving so much
Luchando por controlarme
Struggling to control myself
Las dudas querían matarme
The doubts wanted to kill me
Mi enemigo era el amor
My enemy was love
Pero Dios me dio por tonto
But God called me foolish
Por reclamarle a lo tonto
For complaining about nothing
Y también me dijo Barry
And He also told me Barry
Le dije tantas tonteras
I said so many silly things
Dudé de mi compañera
I doubted my companion
No me fío que me corrieras
I don't trust that you would run away from me
Mi enemigo era el amor
My enemy was love
Y por amor
And for love
Le lloré como un chiquillo
I cried for her like a little boy
Para pedirle perdón
To ask for her forgiveness
Su corazón
Her heart
Lastimado y ofendido
Hurt and offended
Me negaba su cariño
She refused me her affection
Ay, Dios mío, qué dolor
Oh my God, what pain
Se regresó
She came back
Y con ella entró en los ojos
And with her, she entered my eyes
Me abrazó y me dijo "Amor
She hugged me and said, 'Love'
Júrame, Dios
Swear to me, God
Mi universo y mi destino
My universe and my destiny
Es tu amor y tu cariño
Is your love and your affection
Ya razona, por favor"
Please, reason with me now'
Y por amor
And for love
Le lloré como un chiquillo
I cried for her like a little boy
Para pedirle perdón
To ask for forgiveness
Su corazón
Her heart
Lastimado y ofendido
Hurt and offended
Me negaba su cariño
She denied me her affection
Ay, Dios mío, qué dolor
Oh, my God, what pain
Se regresó
She went back
Y con ella entró en los ojos
And with her, tears welled up in my eyes
Me abrazó y me dijo "Amor
She embraced me and said, 'Love'
Júrame, Dios
Swear to me, God
Mi universo y mi destino
My universe and my destiny
Es tu amor y tu cariño
It's your love and your affection
Ya razona, por favor"
Please, just reason with me
