Porque tu fuego aún me quema
Because your fire still burns me
Sin ti las noches son eternas
Without you, the nights are endless
Tu aroma sigue aquí
Your scent is still here
No me deja ir
It won't let me go
Por más que intente y quiera olvidarte
No matter how much I try and want to forget you
Yo nunca lograré dejarte
I'll never manage to leave you
Cautivo de este amor sincero
Captive to this sincere love
Esclavo de tu voz
Slave to your voice
Porque estoy
Because I'm
Amándote, soñándote
Loving you, dreaming of you
Aunque no estés aquí
Even if you're not here
Y yo te esperaré
And I'll wait for you
Amor, aunque los años lleguen sin querer
Love, even as the years come without wanting
Y te perdonaré
And I'll forgive you
Si en otros besos y otra piel encuentras el amor
If in other kisses and another skin you find love
Porque estoy
Because I'm
Amándote, soñándote
Loving you, dreaming of you
Aunque no estés aquí
Even if you're not here
Y yo te esperaré
And I'll wait for you
Amor, aunque los años lleguen sin querer
Love, even as the years come without wanting
Y te perdonaré
And I will forgive you
Si en otros besos y otra piel encuentras el amor
If in other kisses and another skin you find love
Y yo te esperaré
And I will wait for you
Amor, el tiempo que decida Dios
Love, the time that God decides
Y te perdonaré
And I will forgive you
Si en otros besos y otra piel encuentras el amor
If in other kisses and another skin you find love
(Yo sigo amándote, me tienes cautivo
(I keep loving you, you have me captive
Y sigo amándote)
And I keep loving you)
Porque tu fuego aún me quema
Because your fire still burns me
Yo solo quiero estar contigo
I only want to be with you
(Yo sigo amándote, me tienes cautivo
(I keep loving you, you have me captive)
Y sigo amándote)
(And I keep loving you)
Yo te esperaré
I will wait for you
Aunque otra piel me robe tu cariño
Even if another skin steals your affection
(Yo sigo amándote, me tienes cautivo)
(I keep loving you, you have me captive)
Vivo aquí, amándote y pensándote (cautivo)
I live here, loving you and thinking of you (captive)
El tiempo que decida Dios yo estaré (cautivo)
The time that God decides, I will be here (captive)
Así tus ojos no me vean
Even if your eyes don't see me
Así no sientas mi presencia
Even if you don't feel my presence
Yo estaré aquí, cuidando
I will be here, watching
Tu sonrisa eterna
Your eternal smile
