Five minutes
Quédate solo cinco más
Stay just five more
No ves que al parecer
Can't you see that apparently
Por ti tengo una enfermedad
I have a sickness for you
Te estoy llorando
I'm crying for you
No te vayas tan pronto de mí
Don’t go so soon from me
Quiero comerte el corazón
I want to eat your heart
Te gritan mis brazos, necesito tu amor
My arms are shouting for you, I need your love
¿Por qué me fui a enamorar de ti?
Why did I fall in love with you?
Si sabía que era prohibido
If I knew it was forbidden
Nunca quise lastimar
I never wanted to hurt
Desearía no saber amar
I wish I didn't know how to love
¿Por qué me fui a enamorar de ti?
Why did I fall in love with you?
De este amor clandestino
With this clandestine love
Tal vez será el encanto de saber
Maybe it's the charm of knowing
Que lo nuestro no está permitido
That what we have isn't allowed
Ya perdí la conciencia
I've already lost my mind
Y me he vuelto una sombra de mí
And I've become a shadow of myself
Tal vez sería mejor
Maybe it would be better
Que lo nuestro se acabe, necesito dejar de sufrir
If we ended this, I need to stop suffering
Quiero que estemos bien
I want us to be okay
Sé que tú también lo has pasado mal
I know you've had a hard time too
Estoy tan confundida, mas no estoy arrepentida
I'm so confused, but I'm not regretful
Si pudiera te volvería a amar
If I could, I would love you again
¿Por qué me fui a enamorar de ti?
Why did I fall in love with you?
Si sabía que era prohibido
If I knew it was forbidden
Nunca quise lastimar
I never wanted to hurt
Desearía no saber amar
I wish I didn't know how to love
¿Por qué me fui a enamorar de ti?
Why did I fall in love with you?
De este amor clandestino
In this clandestine love
Tal vez será el encanto de saber
Maybe it's the charm of knowing
Que lo nuestro no está permitido
That what we have isn't allowed
(¿Por qué me fui a enamorar?)
(Why did I fall in love?)
(Si estaba todo mal)
(If everything was wrong)
¿Por qué me fui a enamorar?
Why did I fall in love?
Si sabía que estaba prohibido
If I knew it was forbidden
(¿Por qué me fui a enamorar?)
(Why did I fall in love?)
(Si estaba todo mal)
(If everything was wrong)
Tú lo sabes bien
You know it well
Y también te dejaste querer
And you also let yourself be loved
(¿Por qué me fui a enamorar?)
(Why did I fall in love?)
(Si estaba todo mal)
(If everything was wrong)
Cuando la vida te pone sabor
When life adds flavor to your days
Es difícil negarse al amor
It's hard to say no to love
(¿Por qué me fui a enamorar?)
(Why did I fall in love?)
(Si estaba todo mal)
(If everything was wrong)
Clandestino, ilegal
Clandestine, illegal
Al final nuestro amor es real
In the end, our love is real
