Antes de que pienses lo peor
Before you think the worst
Deberías entender lo que pasó
You should understand what happened
Esa noche que nos vimos
That night we saw each other
Un amor había perdido
A love I had lost
Y quise contarte mi dolor
And I wanted to share my pain with you
Pero tú cambiaste la conversación
But you changed the conversation
Manejando las palabras
Navigating the words
Insinuando tu mirada
Implying with your gaze
Tu presencia provocaba calor
Your presence sparked warmth
Y pasión
And passion
Lo de nosotros fue un impulso
What we had was an impulse
Una traición
A betrayal
Fue un buen momento
It was a good moment
Y el momento ya pasó
And that moment has passed
Fue un cuerpo a cuerpo
It was a face-to-face encounter
De sexo a sexo
From sex to sex
Pero lo nuestro era un deseo
But what we had was a desire
No era amor
It wasn't love
Y muchas veces
And many times
Se confunde la intención
The intention gets confused
Yo fui sincero
I was sincere
No era despecho
It wasn't spite
Tú eras consciente de entender la situación
You were aware of understanding the situation
Lo que pasó
What happened
Entre tú y yo
Between you and me
Pasó...
Happened...
Antes de que pienses lo peor
Before you think the worst
No quería hacerte daño
I didn't want to hurt you
No hay razón
There's no reason
Yo te vi como una amiga
I saw you as a friend
Y me gustó tu compañía
And I liked your company
Y ahora tú me dices
And now you tell me
Que hubo amor
That there was love
Yo no sé lo que tú entiendes
I don't know what you understand
Por amor
By love
Manejando las palabras
Maneuvering with words
Insinuando tu mirada
Suggesting with your gaze
Tu presencia provocaba calor
Your presence sparked heat
Y pasión
And passion
Lo de nosotros fue un impulso
What we had was an impulse
Una traición
A betrayal
Fue un buen momento
It was a good moment
Y el momento ya pasó
And the moment has passed
Fue un cuerpo a cuerpo
It was a face-to-face encounter
De sexo a sexo
From sex to sex
Pero lo nuestro era un deseo
But what we had was a desire
No era amor
It wasn't love
Y muchas veces
And many times
Se confunde la intención
Intentions get confused
Yo fui sincero
I was sincere
No era despecho
It wasn't resentment
Tú eras consciente de entender la situación
You were aware of understanding the situation
Lo que pasó
What happened
Entre tú y yo
Between you and me
Pasó...
Happened...
Debes entender (lo que pasó)
You must understand (what happened)
No fue mi intención (entre tú y yo, pasó)
It wasn't my intention (between you and me, it happened)
Esa noche que nos vimos
That night we saw each other
Mi gran amor había perdido
My great love had been lost
(Lo que pasó) Entiéndelo (entre tú y yo, pasó)
(What happened) Understand it (between you and me, it happened)
Y al contarte mi dolor
And as I told you my pain
Me consolaste con pasión
You consoled me with passion
¡Qué pasó!
What happened!
¡Ya paso!
It’s all in the past!
¡Qué pasó!
What happened!
¡Ya pasó!
It’s all in the past!
(Lo que pasó) compréndelo (entre tú y yo, pasó)
(What happened) understand it (between you and me, it happened)
Pues lo nuestro fue un impulso
For what we had was a spark
Sabes bien, yo, fui sincero
You know well, I, was sincere
(Lo que pasó) entiéndelo (entre tú y yo, pasó)
(What happened) get it (between you and me, it happened)
Yo te vi como a una amiga
I saw you as a friend
Y hoy me dices que hubo amor...
And today you tell me there was love...
