Se asomaba por tu blusa
Peeking out from your blouse
Un poquito de tu pecho
A little piece of your chest
Y en mis manos se coibía la pasión
And in my hands, passion held back
El deseo acumulado
The desire that had built up
De sentirte entre mis brazos
To feel you in my arms
Poco a poco fue venciendo tu pudor
Little by little, your shyness was conquered
Me decías al oído
You whispered in my ear
Ya no sigas te lo pido
Please, don't go on
Sin embargo tu querías más amor
Yet you wanted more love
Yo prendído de tu boca
I caught up in your lips
Fuí soltando tu vestido
I was letting go of your dress
Insistiendo conocer, tu corazón
Insisting to know your heart
Descubrimos
We discovered
Que amar al entregarse es lo distinto
That to love in surrender is what makes it unique
Que todo en un instante queda dicho
That everything is spoken in an instant
Cuando nos llega el amor
When love arrives for us
Cuando nos tienta el amor
When love tempts us
Descubrimos
We discovered
Que noy hay necesidad del egoísmo
That there's no need for selfishness
¿Por qué sacrificar lo que sentímos?

Cuando nos llega el amor
When love comes to us
Cuando nos tienta el amor
When love tempts us
Me decías al oído
You whispered in my ear
Ya no sigas te lo pido
Please, don't go on, I ask you
Sin embargo tu querías más amor
However, you wanted more love
Yo prendído de tu boca
I was consumed by your lips
Fuí soltando tu vestido
I started to loosen your dress
Insistiendo conocer tu corazón
Insisting to know your heart
Descubrimos
We discovered
Que amar al entregarse es lo distinto
That to love while giving yourself is what makes it different
Que todo en un instante queda dicho
That everything is said in an instant
