Tengo miedo de quererte
I'm afraid to love you
Por la distancia que veo en tus ojos
Because of the distance I see in your eyes
Tú estás tan cerca de mí en todo momento
You're so close to me at all times
Que ya no siento mi corazón
That I no longer feel my heart
Tengo miedo de dejarte
I'm afraid to let you go
Por la confianza y la tranquilidad
Because of the trust and the peace
Sé que puedo extrañar la serena calma
I know I could miss the serene calm
La armonia y la fidelidad
The harmony and the loyalty
Tengo miedo de quererte
I'm afraid to love you
Como te quise antes
Like I loved you before
Como te quise ayer
Like I loved you yesterday
El tiempo que pasó

Tengo miedo de quererte
I'm afraid to love you
Como te quise ayer
Like I loved you yesterday
Porque después de tanto tiempo

Ya no te sé querer
I no longer know how to love you
Tengo miedo de quererte
I'm afraid to love you
Como te quise antes
Like I loved you before
Como te quise ayer
Like I loved you yesterday
El tiempo que pasó
The time that has passed
Tengo miedo de quererte
I'm afraid to love you
Como te quise ayer
