Cinco minutos
Five minutes
Quédate solo cinco más
Just stay five more
¿No ves que, al parecer
Don't you see that, apparently
Por ti tengo una enfermedad?
I have an illness because of you?
Te estoy llorando
I'm crying for you
No te vayas tan pronto de mí
Don't leave me so soon
Quiero comerte el corazón
I want to eat your heart
Te gritan mis brazos, necesito tu amor
My arms are calling out for you, I need your love
¿Por qué me fui a enamorar de ti
Why did I go and fall in love with you?
Si sabía que era prohibido?
Did I know it was forbidden?
Nunca quise lastimar
I never meant 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 era el encanto de saber
Maybe it was 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 senses
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
Let what we have end, 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 suffered too
Estoy tan confundida, mas no estoy arrepentida
I’m so confused, yet I’m not regretting
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 embarazar de ti
Why did I go and get pregnant by you?
De este amor clandestino?
Of this clandestine love?
Tal vez era el encanto de saber
Maybe it was the charm of knowing
Que lo nuestro no está permitido
That what we have is not allowed.
A ver, Sebita
Come on, Sebita
Eso
That's it
¡Ay, qué rico!
Oh, how nice!
¡Ay, qué rápido!
Oh, how fast!
¿Por qué me fui a enamorar de ti
Why did I fall in love with you
De este amor clandestino?
Of this clandestine love?
Tal vez era el encanto de saber
Maybe it was the charm of knowing
Que lo nuestro no está permitido
That what we have isn't allowed
