Me quedo callado
I stay silent
Soy como un niño dormido
I'm like a sleeping child
Que puede despertarse con apenas sólo un ruido
Who can wake up with just a single sound
Cuando menos te lo esperas
When you least expect it
Cuando menos lo imagino
When I least imagine it
Sé que un día no me aguanto y voy y te miro
I know that one day I won't hold back and I'll come and look at you
Y te lo digo a los gritos
And I shout it out loud to you
Y te ríes y me tomas por un loco atrevido
And you laugh and think I'm a daring fool
Pues, no sabes cuánto tiempo en mis sueños has vivido
Well, you don't know how long you've lived in my dreams
Ni sospechas cuando te nombré
Nor do you suspect when I mentioned your name
Yo
I
Yo no me doy por vencido
I won't give up
Yo quiero un mundo contigo
I want a world with you
Juro que vale la pena esperar y esperar
I swear it's worth the wait, and wait
Y esperar un suspiro
And wait for a sigh
Una señal del destino
A sign from destiny
No me canso, no me rindo
I won't tire, I won't surrender
No me doy por vencido
I won't give up
Tengo una flor de bolsillo
I have a pocket flower
Marchita de buscar una mujer que me quiera
Withering from searching for a woman who loves me
Y reciba su perfume hasta traer la primavera
And receives its perfume until spring returns
Y me enseñe lo que no aprendí de la vida
And teaches me what I didn't learn from life
Que brilla más cada día
That shines brighter each day
Porque estoy tan solo a un paso de ganarme la alegría
Because I'm just one step away from earning my joy
Porque el corazón levanta una tormenta enfurecida
Because the heart raises a furious storm
Desde aquel momento en que te vi
From that moment I saw you
Yo
I
Yo no me doy por vencido
I won't give up
Yo quiero un mundo contigo
I want a world with you
Juro que vale la pena esperar y esperar
I swear it's worth the wait, and wait
Y esperar un suspiro
And wait for a sigh
Una señal del destino
A sign from destiny
No me canso, no me rindo
I won't tire, I won't surrender
No me doy por vencido
I won't give up
Este silencio esconde demasiadas palabras
This silence hides too many words
No me detengo
I won't stop
Pase lo que pase seguiré
Whatever happens, I will continue
Yo
I
Yo no me doy por vencido
I won't give up
Yo quiero un mundo contigo
I want a world with you
Juro que vale la pena esperar y esperar
I swear it's worth the wait, and wait
Y esperar un suspiro
And wait for a sigh
Una señal del destino
A sign from destiny
No me canso, no me rindo
I won't tire, I won't surrender
No me doy por vencido
I won't give up
Oh, oh, oh juro que vale la pena esperar y esperar
Oh, oh, oh, I swear it's worth the wait, and wait
Y esperar un suspiro
And wait for a sigh
Una señal del destino
A sign from destiny
No me canso, no me rindo
I won't tire, I won't surrender
No me doy por vencido
I won't give up
