Cuando quiero
When I want
Ser tu sombra
To be your shadow
Es difícil encontrar alguna luz
It's hard to find any light
Mas cuando quiero
But when I want
Ser tu agua
To be your water
Vas a beber a otro río, a otra playa
You go drinking from another river, another beach
Y aunque el agua del mar sea salada
And even though the sea water is salty
Te empecinas con la idea de beber
You stubbornly cling to the idea of drinking
Mas no viendo que a tu lado
Yet not seeing that by your side
Una vertiente se está convirtiendo en barro
A spring is turning into mud
Yo te qui, yo te qui, yo te quiero
I love you, I love you, I love you
Con raíces pero en libertad
With roots but in freedom
Yo te qui, yo te qui, yo te quiero
I love you, I love you, I love you
¿Pero hasta cuándo te tendré yo que esperar?
But until when will I have to wait for you?
Cuando quiero ser tu estrella
When I want to be your star
Hay una luna deslumbrante que me opaca
There's a dazzling moon that overshadows me
Y aunque sé que no soy la más bella
And although I know I'm not the prettiest
Este amor por ti hasta mata
This love for you could even kill
Yo te qui, yo te qui, yo te quiero
I love you, I love you, I love you
Con raíces pero en libertad
With roots but in freedom
Yo te qui, yo te qui, yo te quiero
I love you, I love you, I love you
¿Pero hasta cuándo te tendré yo que esperar?
But how long will I have to wait for you?
Ay, yo te qui, yo te qui, yo te quiero
Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you
Con raíces pero en libertad
With roots but in freedom
Ay, yo te qui, yo te qui, yo te quiero
Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you
¿Pero hasta cuándo te tendré yo que esperar?
But how long will I have to wait for you?
