Conté del uno hasta el diez para saber
I counted from one to ten to know
Si estaban mis pies en la tierra
If my feet were on the ground
Si esto era un sueño fatal, fuera real
If this was a fatal dream, real
Que me temblaban las piernas
That my legs were trembling
Hasta que el mundo en dos partes se abrió
Until the world split in two
Cuando clavaste tus ojos en mí
When you fixed your eyes on me
Y comprendí que era cierto
And I understood it was true
Yo (yo), frente al amor (frente al amor)
Me (me), facing love (facing love)
Sin controlar mis sentimientos (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Without controlling my feelings (oh, oh, oh, oh)
No (no) supe que hablar (supe que hablar)
No (no) I didn't know what to say (what to say)
Y el corazón dio contra el suelo
And my heart hit the ground
Quedándome (oh, oh) preso de ti (oh, oh)
Leaving me (oh, oh) captive to you (oh, oh)
De la cabeza a los pies
From head to toe
Un huracán en la piel me sacudió
A hurricane in my skin shook me
Cuando miré tu sonrisa
When I saw your smile
Tanta belleza ante mí
So much beauty in front of me
Como si Dios se me cruzara en la vida (uh, uh, uh, uh)
As if God crossed my path in life (uh, uh, uh, uh)
Era mi ángel diciendo: "ahí está
It was my angel saying: "there it is
Has encontrado la otra mitad"
You've found your other half"
Y no podía creerlo
And I couldn't believe it
Yo (yo), frente al amor (frente al amor)
Me (me), facing love (facing love)
Sin controlar mis sentimientos (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Without controlling my feelings (oh, oh, oh, oh)
No (no) supe que hablar (supe que hablar)
No (no) I didn't know what to say (what to say)
Y el corazón dio contra el suelo
And my heart hit the ground
Quedándome (oh, oh) preso de ti (oh, oh)
Leaving me (oh, oh) captive to you (oh, oh)
De la cabeza a los pies
From head to toe
(Yo frente al amor), oh, oh
(Me facing love), oh, oh
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh frente al amor)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh facing love)
Yéndome
Leaving me
(Frente al amor)
(Facing love)
De la cabeza a los pies (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, oh)
From head to toe (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, oh)
(Frente al amor) frente al amor, (oh, oh, yeah
(Facing love) facing love, (oh, oh, yeah
(Yo, frente al amor)
(Me, facing love)
