Dicen que yo soy peligrosa
They say I am dangerous
Que yo soy dolorosa
That I am painful
Por que quiero vivir asi
Because I want to live this way
Dicen que yo soy enjundiosa, caprichosa y hermosa
They say I am intense, whimsical, and beautiful
Que no puedo seguir asi
That I can't go on like this
Te digo que si soy peligrosa
I tell you that yes, I am dangerous
Si soy desdeñosa
Yes, I am disdainful
Por que te quiero para mi
Because I want you for myself
Si soy afanosa intrepida costosa
If I am driven, intrepid, and costly
Que quiero lo bueno para mi
That I want the good things for myself
No se lo que siento contigo pero todo lo quiero contigo
I don't know what I feel with you, but I want it all with you
Y todo lo puedo, no se que sera
And I can do it all, I don't know what it will be
Sin eso que tienes tu, que parece amor, no se si es amor
Without that which you have, that seems like love, I don't know if it's love
Que parece amor
That seems like love
¡Ay!
Oh!
Que parece amor
That seems like love
Te digo que si soy peligrosa, si soy desdeñosa
I tell you that yes, I am dangerous, yes, I am disdainful
Por que te quiero para mi
Because I want you for myself
Si soy afanosa, intrepida custosa
If I am eager, fearless and costly
Que quiero lo bueno para mi
That I want the good for myself
No se lo que siento contigo, pero todo lo quiero contigo
I don't know what I feel with you, but I want it all with you
Y todo lo puedo contigo
And I can do it all with you
No se que sera sin eso que tienes tu
I don’t know what it would be like without what you have
Que parece amor, no se si es amor
It seems like love, I don’t know if it’s love
No se, no se, no se si es amor
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know if it’s love
Que parece amor.
It seems like love.
No se, no se, no se que parece amor
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know what seems like love
Que parece amor
It seems like love
