Nunca me amaste como yo te amé a ti
You never loved me like I loved you
Aunque sabías que, amor, con amor se paga
Even though you knew that, love, love is paid with love
Yo te venía diciendo que me salías debiendo
I kept telling you that you owed me
Por más que te lo explicaba con manzanas
No matter how much I explained it to you with apples
Tu solo corazón no es suficiente
Your lone heart isn't enough
Tan poquito amor no me llenaba
Such little love didn't fill me up
Dentro del pecho tú tendrías que tener
Inside your chest, you should have to have
Dos corazones
Two hearts
Tendrías que tener dos corazones
You would need to have two hearts
Pa' que guardando bien las proporciones
To keep everything in proportion
Me quieras como yo te quiero, pero al doble
Love me like I love you, but twice as much
Mis ilusiones
My hopes
Me las rompiste sin explicaciones
You shattered them without explanations
Yo, que tenía sueños por montones
I, who had dreams in abundance
Contigo, pero tú qué sabes de amores
With you, but what do you know about love?
Pa' que tú sientas como yo
For you to feel like I do
Tendrías que tener dos corazones
You would need to have two hearts
Tu solo corazón no es suficiente
Your single heart isn't enough
Tan poquito amor no me llenaba
Such little love didn't fulfill me
Dentro del pecho tú tendrías que tener
Inside your chest you would need to have
Dos corazones
Two hearts
Tendrías que tener dos corazones
You would have to have two hearts
Pa' que guardando bien las proporciones
To keep everything in proper proportion
Me quieras como yo te quiero, pero al doble
Love me as I love you, but twice as much
Mis ilusiones
My dreams
Me las rompiste sin explicaciones
You broke them without explanations
Yo, que tenía sueños por montones
I, who had dreams by the dozen
Contigo, pero tú qué sabes de amores
With you, but what do you know about love?
Pa' que tú sientas como yo
So that you can feel like I do
Tendrías que tener dos corazones
You would need to have two hearts
Dos corazones
Two hearts
