Tengo tanto miedo de volverte a ver
I'm so afraid to see you again
ya no me preguntes mas por que
don't ask me anymore why
tu lo sabes...
you know it...
en tus ojos puedo ver con claridad
in your eyes, I can see clearly
que tu sientes por mi algo mas
that you feel something more for me
me provocas te equivocas...
you provoke me, you’re mistaken...
como pides amor
how can you ask for love
si el es mi amigo mejor
if he is my best friend
por que yo... dimelo...
because I... tell me...
yo no puedo ser tu amante
I can't be your lover
no puedo fallarle
I can't let you down
yo no puedo ser tu amante
I can't be your lover
mi amigo es antes...
My friend comes first...
en tus ojos puedo ver con claridad
In your eyes, I can see clearly
que tu sientes por mi algo mas
That you feel something more for me
me provocas...
You provoke me...
tu no sabes que dificil situacion
You don't know what a difficult situation
cuando estamos solos decir no
When we're alone, saying no
tu me gustas pero basta...
I like you, but enough...
como pides amor
How do you ask for love
si el es mi amigo mejor
if he is my best friend
por que yo... dimelo...
why do I... tell me...
yo no puedo ser tu amante
I can't be your lover
no puedo fallarle
I can't let him down
yo no puedo ser tu amante
I can't be your lover
mi amigo es antes...
my friend comes first...
yo no puedo ser tu amante...
I can't be your lover...
aunque provoques mi sentir cuando
even if you stir my feelings when
el no esta presente
he's not around
yo no puedo ser tu amante...
I can't be your lover...
no aunque lo tuyo es ardiente
no, even though your passion is burning
yo no puedo ser tu amante...
I cannot be your lover...
tu no sientes nada por mi
you feel nothing for me
ni por el lo tuyo es fisicamente
nor for him, what you have is physical
yo no puedo ser tu amante...
I cannot be your lover...
no quiero no debo y no puedo
I don't want to, I shouldn't, and I can't
no puede ser... no
it can't be... no
yo no puedo...
I can't...
ser tu amante aunque quieras entregarte
be your lover even if you want to give yourself
yo no puedo...
I can't...
por un simple capricho a mi
for a simple whim to my
amigo fallarle
friend I can't betray
yo no puedo...
I just can't...
no niego que tu me gustas
I don't deny that I like you
pero no puedo entregarme
but I can't give myself up
yo no puedo ser tu amante...
I cannot be your lover...
no quiero volverte a ver
I don't want to see you again
y tu bien sabes por que
and you well know why
no trates mas de engañarle
don't try to deceive him anymore
yo no puedo ser tu amante...
I cannot be your lover...
es que yo no puedo ingnorarle
I just can't ignore him
yo no puedo ser tu amante...
I can't be your lover...
comprendelo mi amigo es antes...
Understand me, my friend, it's better this way...
