Imagínate
Imagine
Que desde muy niño
That since I was very young
Te llevaba flores
I brought you flowers
Te daba mi abrigo
I would give you my coat
Imagínate
Imagine
Que soy el amigo
That I'm the friend
De tu mismo grado
From your same class
Que lleva tus libros
Who carries your books
Imagínate
Imagine
Que soy de tu calle
That I’m from your street
Que siempre pasé
That I've always passed
Por donde miraste
Where you looked
Imagínate
Just imagine
Que hasta mi perro
That even my dog
Me busca en tu puerta
Looks for me at your door
Cuando me le pierdo
When I lose myself from you
Imagínate
Just imagine
Que eres mi dama
That you're my lady
Mi último sueño
My final dream
Mi más roja flama
My most fiery flame
Imagínate
Imagine this
Que somos nosotros
That it's just us
Tú y yo para siempre
You and me forever
Que no eres de otro
That you're not with anyone else
