Y es la verdad
And it's the truth
Querer así es un pecado, válgame Dios
To love like this is a sin, oh my God
Que me perdone el santo Padre, pero yo
May the Holy Father forgive me, but I
No sé vivir si no te tengo a mi vera
Don't know how to live if I don't have you by my side
Y es la verdad
And it's the truth
Que quererte más no puedo
That I can't love you any more than I do
Y el pensarlo me da miedo
And just thinking about it scares me
Tú no te vayas a equivocar
Don't you dare make a mistake
Y es tanto lo que te quiero
And I love you so much
Que no lo podría, ay, aguantar
That I couldn't, oh, bear it
Quiero que me beses
I want you to kiss me
Y a media voz decirte que te amo
And in a whisper tell you that I love you
Y háblame bajito
And talk to me softly
Que nadie se entere lo que nos contamos
So that no one finds out what we share
Quiero que me beses
I want you to kiss me
Que nadie se entere lo que nos amamos
So that no one finds out how we love each other
Quiero que me beses
I want you to kiss me
Y a media voz decirte que te amo
And in a whisper tell you that I love you
Y háblame bajito
And talk to me softly
Que nadie se entere lo que nos contamos
So that no one finds out what we share
Quiero que me beses
I want you to kiss me
Que nadie se entere lo que nos amamos
So no one finds out how much we love each other
Por ti seré
For you, I will be
Un angelito y guardaré tu corazón
A little angel and I will guard your heart
Y borraré más los recuerdos y te daré
And I will erase the memories and I will give you
La luz de luna que tu corazón buscaba
The moonlight that your heart was searching for
Y quiero ser
And I want to be
Ese brillo de tu mirada
That sparkle in your gaze
Reflejo de tu alma
Reflection of your soul
Pequeñas cosas yo te daré
I will give you little things
La fe que mueve montañas
The faith that moves mountains
El sentimiento más puro de mi ser
The purest feeling of my being
Quiero que me beses
I want you to kiss me
Y a media voz decirte que te amo
And in a soft voice tell you that I love you
Y háblame bajito
And speak to me softly
Que nadie se entere lo que nos contamos
So no one finds out what we share
Quiero que me beses
I want you to kiss me
Que nadie se entere lo que nos amamos
So no one finds out how we love each other
Quiero que me beses
I want you to kiss me
Y a media voz decirte que te amo
And in a soft voice tell you that I love you
Y háblame bajito
And talk to me softly
Que nadie se entere lo que nos contamos
So no one finds out what we’re sharing
Quiero que me beses
I want you to kiss me
Que nadie se entere lo que nos amamos
So no one finds out how we love each other
Quiero que me beses
I want you to kiss me
Y a media voz decirte que te amo
And in a whisper tell you that I love you
Y háblame bajito
And talk to me softly
Que nadie se entere lo que nos contamos
So no one finds out what we’re sharing
Quiero que me beses
I want you to kiss me
Que nadie se entere lo que nos amamos
So no one finds out how we love each other
