Yo, destructor de amores
I, destroyer of loves
Yo, que nunca di flores
I, who never gave flowers
Hoy tu voz me hace falta y pierdo la calma
Today your voice is missing and I'm losing my calm
No, nunca enamorado fui, de nada ni nadie
No, I've never been in love, with nothing or nobody
Y hoy quiero sentir aire con sabor a ti
And today I want to feel air flavored with you
Mis pensamientos ya te pertenecen
My thoughts already belong to you
Y en un instante todo se estremece
And in an instant, everything trembles
Mi cuerpo por ti
My body for you
No hay otros labios que besen los míos
There are no other lips that kiss mine
No hay otro cuerpo que toquen mis manos
There is no other body that my hands touch
Mi vida es tuya
My life is yours
Por ti he visto la luz del día
For you, I've seen the light of day
Y que no haría por ti
And what wouldn't I do for you
Yo, trovador errante
I, wandering troubadour
Yo, sin perder la mente
I, without losing my mind
No puedo controlar este amor ardiente
I can't control this burning love
No, nunca enamorado fui, de nada ni nadie
No, I was never in love, with anything or anyone
Y hoy quiero sentir aire con sabor a ti
And today I want to feel air flavored with you
Mis pensamientos ya te pertenecen
My thoughts already belong to you
Y en un instante todo se estremece
And in an instant, everything trembles
Mi cuerpo por ti
My body for you
No hay otros labios que besen los míos
There are no other lips to kiss mine
No hay otro cuerpo que toquen mis manos
There is no other body for my hands to touch
Mi vida es tuya
My life is yours
Por ti he visto la luz del día
For you, I've seen the light of day
Por ti he visto la luz del día
For you, I've seen the light of day
Por ti he visto la luz del día
For you, I've seen the light of day
Y que no haría por ti
And what wouldn't I do for you
Y que no haría por ti
And what wouldn't I do for you
Qué no haría por ti
What wouldn't I do for you
Por primera vez siento entregarme por completo
For the first time I feel like giving myself completely
Voy a hacer todo para ti
I'll do everything for you
Qué no haría por ti
What wouldn't I do for you
Aprenderé a interpretar tu silencio y tu dolor
I'll learn to interpret your silence and your pain
Cuando necesites de mi amor
When you need my love
Qué no haría por ti
What wouldn't I do for you
Dame la oportunidad, no cierres la puerta
Give me the chance, don't close the door
Hace tiempo que vengo esperando por ti
I've been waiting for you for a long time
Qué no haría por ti
What wouldn't I do for you
Yo, trovador errante
I, wandering troubadour
Yo, sin perder la mente
Me, without losing my mind
Daría la vida por ti
I would give my life for you
Qué no haría por ti
What wouldn't I do for you
Hay un profundo vacío en mi pecho
There's a deep void in my chest
Que nadie ha llenado
That no one has filled
Que pertenece a ti
That belongs to you
Qué no haría por ti
What wouldn't I do for you
Qué daría yo por tener la magia
What would I give to have the magic
Y ese algo que te acerque a mí
And that something to bring you closer to me
Qué no haría por ti
What wouldn't I do for you
No debes dudar que en esta ocasión te doy la verdad
You shouldn't doubt that this time I'm giving you the truth
Sincero es mi amor
My love is sincere
Qué no haría por ti
What wouldn't I do for you
No puedo seguir viviendo con la ilusión de amarnos
I can't keep living with the illusion of loving each other
Si no sientes así
If you don't feel the same way
