Amanecí reposando en el sillón
I woke up resting in the armchair
Con un poema perdido en mi pantalón
With a lost poem in my pants
Una ilusión extraviada
A misplaced illusion
Tu lagrima evaporada en mi tentación
Your tear evaporated in my temptation
Amanecí antes que el tiempo vea la luz
I woke up before time sees the light
Acurrucando raíces de algodón
Cuddling cotton roots
Y recorrer tu sendero
And walking your path
Para que veas cómo muero por tu amor
So you can see how I die for your love
Por ti, solo por ti
For you, only for you
No me canso de extrañar
I never tire of missing you
Crucificando mis deseos
Crucifying my desires
Calificando un argumento
Qualification of an argument
Y en el andar tenerte aquí
And in the journey to have you here
Contarle al mundo que por ti...
To tell the world that because of you...
Por ti, solo por ti
For you, only for you
No me canso de extrañar
I never tire of missing you
Crucificando mis deseos
Crucifying my desires
Calificando un argumento
Qualification of an argument
Y en el andar tenerte aquí
And in the journey to have you here
Contarle al mundo que por ti me muero
To tell the world that for you I'm dying
Dame un momento, te pido por favor
Give me a moment, I'm asking you please
Para bajarle una estrella a tu balcón
To bring down a star to your balcony
Y convertirme en tu almohada
And become your pillow
Para espiar todo lo que hablas con Dios
To eavesdrop on everything you talk about with God
Cuando el amor se haya ido
When love has disappeared
Mi cuerpo caerá rendido en la tentación
My body will fall surrendered to temptation
De amarte como yo quiera
To love you the way I want
No me cabe leña en la hoguera para otro amor
There's no room in the fire for another love
No hay razón
There's no reason
Por ti, solo por ti
For you, only for you
No me canso de extrañar
I never tire of missing you
Crucificando mis deseos
Crucifying my desires
Calificando un argumento
Qualifying an argument
Y en el andar tenerte aquí
And as I walk, having you here
Contarle al mundo que por ti
Telling the world that it's for you
Por ti, solo por ti
For you, only for you
No me canso de extrañar
I never tire of missing you
Crucificando mis deseos
Crucifying my desires
Calificando un argumento
Qualifying an argument
Y en el andar tenerte aquí
And as I walk, having you here
Contarle al mundo que por ti
To tell the world that because of you
Me muero
I'm dying
Yo me muero
I'm dying
