Dimelo si puedes
Tell me if you can
Mienteme de nuevo
Lie to me again
Mientras vas despacio
While you take it slow
En mis brazos
In my arms
Cediendo un espacio Entre tu y yo
Giving a little space between you and me
Entre un si y un no
Between a yes and a no
Ven dímelo de nuevo
Come tell me again
Que no soy el dueño
For I'm not the owner
Ese brillo tuyo que nace
That sparkle of yours that arises
Al perder el orgullo
When pride is lost
Calla de una vez
Silence for once
Y mienteme despues
And then lie to me
Todo esta en la mesa
Everything is on the table
Para que lo veas
So you can see it
Las cartas son estas
These are the cards
Aunque no lo creas
Even if you don't believe it
Nos toca jugar hasta el final
We have to play until the end
Uno va a perder y otro va a ganar
One will lose and another will win
Tu vas a quererme
You're going to love me
de cualquier manera
In any way
Yo voy a tenerte mientras pueda
I'm going to have you as long as I can
Por que somos victimas los dos
Because we are both victims
De la misma fuerza del mismo dolor
Of the same force, of the same pain
Y ese es el reto
And that's the challenge
Que nos toco vivr
That we had to live
Sabes que si quieres...
You know that if you want...
La puerta est abierta oh oh
The door is open oh oh
Pero dejame algo tu encanto
But leave me something, your charm
Tu boca tus labios me los quedo yo
Your mouth, your lips, I'll keep them
Ay me los quedo yo
Oh, I'll keep them
Todo esta en la mesa
Everything is on the table
Para que lo veas
So you can see it
Las cartas son estas
These are the cards
Aunque no lo creas
Even if you don't believe it
Nos toca jugar hasta el final
We have to play till the end
Uno va a perder y otro va a ganar
One will lose and another will win
Tu vas a quererme
You are going to want me
de cualquier manera
In any way you can
Yo voy a tenerte mientras pueda
I will have you as long as I can
Por que somos victimas los dos
Because we are both victims
De la misma fuerza del mismo dolor
From the same strength of the same pain
Y ese es el reto
And that is the challenge
Que nos toco vivr
That we had to live
Acepta que es así
Accept that it is like this
No olvides que tampoco
Don't forget that neither
Para mi es tan fcil
For me, it's so easy
Saber que ya has estado
To know that you've been
y que no estas... conmigo
And that you're not... with me
Eh... yeah, yeah... oh oh
Eh... yeah, yeah... oh oh
(Hay que aprender como vivr
(We have to learn how to live
con este amor ese es el reto)
With this love, that's the challenge)
Las cartas estn sobre la mesa
The cards are on the table
Tu vas a quererme como sea
You're going to love me no matter what
Y aqui estar para quererte como quieras
And I'll be here to love you however you want
(Hay que aprender como vivir
(We must learn how to live
con este amor ese es el reto)
With this love, that's the challenge)
Tu para mi yo para ti los dos
You for me, I for you, both of us
No puede ser de otra manera
It can't be any other way
(Hay que aprender como vivir
(We must learn how to live
con este amor ese es el reto)
With this love, that's the challenge)
Ven dimelo que no soy yo
Come, tell me it's not me
El dueño de tu vida si la llave
The owner of your life if I hold the key
de tu corazn la tengo yo
to your heart, I have it
Dimelo de nuevo nia, dimelo
Tell me again, girl, tell me
Amar con fuerza ya el tiempo
To love fiercely, the time
Se ocupe de esto (Ese es el reto)
Takes care of this (That's the challenge)
Y el de tu orgullo y yo aumentar
And your pride, and I will increase
Mi dosis de besos (Ese es el reto)
My dose of kisses (That's the challenge)
El retrasado recuerda lo bueno
The latecomer remembers the good
Y de lo malo olvidate de eso (Ese es el reto)
And forget about the bad (That's the challenge)
Tu para mi, yo para ti
You for me, I for you
Los dos (Ese es el reto)
The two of us (That's the challenge)
