Tantas horas aguantando hasta el amanecer
So many hours holding on until dawn
Y aunque no quiero que aparezcas, siempre me vienes a ver
And although I don't want you to show up, you always come to see me
Estás de negro, siempre tan oscuro
You're dressed in black, always so dark
Te veo de lado y creo que me cansé
I see you from the side and I think I'm tired
No he oído tu voz, no sé ni tu nombre
I haven't heard your voice, I don't even know your name
Quiero saber, ¿por qué te escondes en mi cabeza?
I want to know, why do you hide in my mind?
Siento que te amo porque te odio
I feel that I love you because I hate you
Yo sé que te quiero porque te temo
I know that I want you because I fear you
Y sé que te busco porque me alocas
And I know that I seek you because you drive me crazy
Creo que te amo, creo que yo te inventé
I think I love you, I think I invented you
Tanto tiempo ocultando lo que siento por ti
So much time hiding what I feel for you
Es fundamental hacer algo para mí
It's fundamental to do something for me
Eres como un ángel de la guarda
You’re like a guardian angel
Me recuerdas al diablo cuando me cansas
You remind me of the devil when you wear me out
No he oído tu voz, no sé ni tu nombre
I haven't heard your voice, I don't even know your name
Quiero saber, ¿por qué te escondes en mi cabeza?
I want to know, why do you hide in my head?
Siento que te amo porque te odio
I feel that I love you because I hate you
Yo sé que te quiero porque te temo
I know that I want you because I fear you
Y sé que te busco porque me alocas
And I know that I seek you because you drive me crazy
Creo que te amo, creo que yo te inventé
I think I love you, I think I invented you
Y cuando me toca, me vuelvo loca, las mariposas andan en celo
And when it touches me, I go crazy, the butterflies are in heat
Y una libélula ninfomaníaca me roza la boca tan demoníaca
And a nymphomaniac dragonfly brushes my demonic mouth
Fumaba un puro y conversaba con un hombre ciego
I was smoking a cigar and talking with a blind man
Yo sé que todo sucede allá afuera, pero yo tengo un mundo aquí dentro
I know everything happens out there, but I have a world inside here
Siento que te amo porque te odio
I feel that I love you because I hate you
Yo sé que te quiero porque te temo
I know that I want you because I fear you
Y sé que te busco porque me alocas
And I know that I seek you because you drive me wild
Creo que te amo, creo que yo te inventé
I think I love you, I think I invented you
