Con mi dolor
With my pain
Causando penas voy vagando por ahí
Causing sorrow, I wander around
No hay una frase de cariño para mí
There's not a phrase of affection for me
Todos me miran con desprecio y con rencor
Everyone looks at me with disdain and resentment
Mi corazón
My heart
Está cansado, muy cansado de sufrir
Is tired, oh so tired of suffering
Que muchas veces le he escuchado repetir
That many times I've heard it repeat
Estas palabras que me llenan de dolor
These words that fill me with pain
Urge
Urgent
Una persona que me arrulle entre sus brazos
A person to cradle me in their arms
A quién contarle de mis triunfos y fracasos
Who can I tell about my triumphs and failures
Que me consuele y que me quite de sufrir
Who can comfort me and ease my pain
Urge
Urgent
Que me despierten con un beso enamorado
Someone to wake me with a loving kiss
Que me devuelvan el amor que me han negado
Someone to return the love that I’ve been denied
Porque también tengo derecho de vivir
Because I also have the right to live

Urgent
Una persona que me arrulle entre sus brazos

A quién contarle de mis triunfos y fracasos

I need
Una persona que me arrulle entre sus brazos
Someone to cradle me in their arms
A quién contarle de mis triunfos y fracasos

Que me consuele y que me quite de sufrir
Who can comfort me and take away my pain
Urge
I need
Que me despierten con un beso enamorado
To be awakened with a loving kiss
Que me devuelvan el amor que me han negado
To have the love that has been denied to me returned
Porque también tengo derecho de vivir
Because I also have the right to live
