Mírame, bésame, quiéreme
Look at me, kiss me, love me
Pero no me engañes
But don't deceive me
Mira que estoy loco por tu amor
See that I'm crazy for your love
Y es mucho mi padecer
And my suffering is so much
Y por eso te suplico
And that's why I plead with you
Mírame, bésame, quiéreme
Look at me, kiss me, love me
Pero no me engañes
But don't deceive me
Que mi vida sin tu amor
For my life without your love
Eso no es vida
That's not living
Solo un gran amor
Just a great love
Como nuestro amor
Like our love
Merece vivirlo
Deserves to be lived
Porque ha de venir
Because it has to come
Siempre la traición
Always the betrayal
Para destruirlo todo
To destroy it all
Mírame, bésame, quiéreme
Look at me, kiss me, love me
Pero no me engañes
But don't deceive me
Que mi vida sin tu amor
Because my life without your love
Eso no es vida
That is not a life
Mírame, bésame, quiéreme
Look at me, kiss me, love me
Pero no me engañes
But don't fool me
Que mi vida sin tu amor
That my life without your love
No es vida
It's no life
Solo un gran amor
Just one great love
Como nuestro amor
Like our love
Merece vivirlo
Deserves to live it
Porque ha de venir
Because it must come
Siempre la traición
Always the betrayal
Para destruirlo todo
To destroy it all
Mírame, bésame, quiéreme
Look at me, kiss me, love me
Pero no me engañes
But don’t try to fool me
Que mi vida sin tu amor
For my life without your love
Eso no es vida
That's not living
Mírame, quiéreme, bésame
Look at me, love me, kiss me
Pero no me engañes
But don’t try to fool me

About this song
Firmly fixed in the Latin music firmament as "El Sonero Mayor" (The Greatest Singer), Ismael Rivera was blessed with a gloriously husky voice, which he honed into a unique improvisational instrument.
