Te soñé, te presentí, se hizo realidad
I dreamed of you, I sensed you, it became real
Te pensé, te pensé mil veces, mil
I thought of you, I thought of you a thousand times, a thousand
Y te tomé cariño antes de verte
And I grew fond of you before I saw you
Te sentí llorar, te sentí reír
I felt you cry, I felt you laugh
Muchas cosas más, tú eras mi querer
So many more things, you were my love
Siempre mi querer
Always my love
La niñez, la dulce niñez
Childhood, sweet childhood
El amor, las horas felices
Love, the happy hours
Todo junto a ti, todo compartí
Everything with you, I shared it all
Contigo, tú eras mi querer
With you, you were my love
Siempre mi querer
Always my love
Y he pasado 30 años
And I have spent 30 years
Con mis sueños, con los años
With my dreams, with the years
Y hoy que estás aquí me haces muy feliz
And today that you're here, you make me very happy
Porque ya el amor se hizo realidad
Because love has finally become real
Hoy todo es verdad
Today everything is true
Este año te voy a dar lo que me faltaba
This year I'm going to give you what I was missing
Te voy a dar, te voy a dar, mamita buena
I'm going to give you, I'm going to give you, good mother
Algo que mi corazón guardaba
Something my heart was keeping
Este año te voy a dar lo que me faltaba
This year I'm going to give you what I was missing
Ya soñé, te presentí cositas buenas
I've dreamed, I sensed good things coming
Y ahora tú estás junto a mí, ya tú lo ves
And now you're here with me, you see it yourself
Este año te voy a dar lo que me faltaba
This year I'm going to give you what I've been missing
Óyelo bien, este año te voy a dar
Listen closely, this year I'm going to give you
Lo que tú esperabas, qué cosa será
What you were hoping for, what could it be
Este año te voy a dar lo que me faltaba
This year I'm going to give you what I've been missing
Hace mucho tiempo que te esperaba
I've been waiting for you a long time
Y en mi cama tenía tu almohada guardada
And in my bed, I kept your pillow saved
Este año te voy a dar lo que me faltaba
This year I'm going to give you what I've been missing
Lo presintió mi corazón
My heart sensed it
Y ahora yo le doy toda, todita la razón
And now I give her all, every bit of the reason
Este año te voy a dar lo que me faltaba
This year I'm going to give you what I was missing
Pero que tiene esa mujer, caballero
But what does that woman have, my friend?
Pero que tiene que con ella no puedo
But what does she have that I can't handle?
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
El que te va a hacer sentir mujer
The one who's going to make you feel like a woman
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
No me importa lo pasado
I don't care about the past
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
Ay, mamá, cómo vengo este año
Oh, mama, how I'm coming this year
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
Este año yo vengo, yo vengo acabando
This year I'm coming, I'm coming to shine
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
Mira, cosa linda, cómo vengo gozando
Look, beautiful thing, how I'm coming to enjoy
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
Soy, soy, soy el que te gusta
I am, I am, I'm the one you like
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
Oye, este año la cosa es distinta
Hey, this year things are different
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
Este año soy yo, soy yo
This year it's me, it's me
