Hoy pasaste por mi lado
Today you walked by my side
Sin fijarte, sin mirarme, veo tus brazos
Without noticing, without looking at me, I see your arms
No quisiera ni pensarlo
I wouldn't even want to think about it
Pero sigo, como un tonto, enamorado
But I keep going, like a fool, in love
Quién pudiera estar contigo y ser el otro
Who could be with you and be the other?
Yo sabría retenerte, poco a poco
I would know how to hold you back, little by little
Y es que a fuerza de ignorarme has conseguido
And it’s that by ignoring me, you've managed
Que te quiera como a nadie yo he querido
To make me love you like I've never loved anyone
Tú no sabes qué se siente
You don't know what it feels like
Cuando alguien que tú quieres no te quiere
When someone you love doesn't love you back
Quién diría que a mis años
Who would have thought at my age
Por tu culpa, yo me siento un pobre diablo
Because of you, I feel like a miserable fool
Pobre diablo
Miserable fool
Pobre diablo
Miserable fool
Quién pudiera estar contigo y ser el otro
Who could be with you and be the other one
Yo sabría retenerte poco a poco
I would know how to hold you little by little
Y es que a fuerza de ignorarme has conseguido
And it's because by ignoring me so much, you've succeeded
Que te quiera como a nadie yo he querido
In making me love you like I've loved no one
Tú no sabes qué se siente
You don't know how it feels
Cuando alguien que tú quieres no te quiere
When someone you love doesn't love you back
Quién diría que a mis años
Who would have thought that at my age
Por tu culpa, yo me siento un pobre diablo
Because of you, I feel like a poor devil
Pobre diablo
Poor devil
Pobre diablo
Poor devil
Un pobre diablo
A poor devil
