Palabras de mujer
Words of a woman
Que yo escuché cerca de ti
That I heard close to you
Junto de ti, muy quedo
Next to you, very softly
Tan quedo como nunca
So softly, like never before
Las quiero repetir
I want to repeat them
Para que tú, igual que ayer
So that you, just like yesterday
Las digas sollozando
Say them while sobbing
Palabras de mujer
Words of a woman
Aunque no quieras tú
Even if you don't want to
Ni quiera yo
Nor do I want to
Lo quiso Dios
God willed it
Y hasta la eternidad
And until eternity
Te seguirá mi amor
My love will follow you
Como una sombra iré
Like a shadow I will go
Perfumaré tu inspiración
I will perfume your inspiration
Y junto a ti estaré, también
And alongside you I will be, too
En tu dolor
In your pain
Aunque no quieras tú
Even if you don't want to
Ni quiera yo
Nor do I want to
Lo quiso Dios
God willed it
Y hasta la eternidad
And until eternity
Te seguirá mi amor
My love will follow you
Hasta en tus besos me hallarás
Even in your kisses, you'll find me
Hasta en el agua y en el sol
Even in the water and the sun
Aunque no quieras tú
Even if you don’t want to
Aunque no quiera yo
Even if I don’t want to
Aunque no quieras tú
Even if you don’t want to
Ni quiera yo
Nor do I want to
Lo quiso Dios
God wanted it
Y hasta la eternidad
And until eternity
Te seguirá
It will follow you
Mi amor
My love
Hasta en tus besos me hallarás
You’ll find me even in your kisses
Hasta en el agua y en el sol
Even in the water and in the sun
Aunque no quieras tú
Even if you don't want to
Aunque no quiera yo
Even if I don't want to
Aunque no quieras tú
Even if you don't want to
Aunque no quiera yo
Even if I don't want to
Aunque no quieras tú
Even if you don't want to
Aunque no quiera yo
Even if I don't want to
