Estoy a punto de subir al tren
I'm about to get on the train
Solo a un minuto de salir de ti
Just a minute away from leaving you
Y antes de hacerlo yo te ruego que me escuches
And before I do it, I ask you to hear me out
Sólo te pido un minuto, un instante para mí
I only ask for a minute, a moment for me
Yo sí te quise, mi amor, tú no pudiste entender
I did love you, my love, you just couldn't understand
No fue la forma de darte las cosas
It wasn't the way to give you things
No era con rosas mi amor, como mi alma
It wasn't with roses, my love, how my soul
Se da y se goza, no era con versos
Is given and enjoyed, it wasn't with verses
Como se entrega mi alma
How my soul delivers itself
Yo solo amaba, vivía y moría
I only loved, lived, and died
Pensaba y ardía por ti
I thought and burned for you
Yo sólo buscaba, anhelaba el segundo
I was just searching, longing for the moment
El instante de hacerte feliz
The instant to make you happy
Yo solo amaba, vivía y moría
I only loved, lived and died
Pensaba y ardía por ti
I thought and burned for you
Yo sólo buscaba el instante
I was just looking for the moment
De hacerte feliz (de hacerte feliz)
To make you happy (to make you happy)
Estoy a punto de subir al tren
I’m about to board the train
Estoy tan lejos de volver a ti
I’m so far from returning to you
Solo quería que escucharas bien las cosas
I just wanted you to listen well to the things
Que compartieras este espacio junto a mí
That you would share this space beside me
Y que supieras que aún tengo aquí la duda
And that you would know I still have the doubt here
Si me quisiste realmente alguna vez
If you really loved me at all
No era con rosas mi amor ni con los versos
It wasn't with roses, my love, nor with verses
Yo sí te quise y no supiste entender
I did love you and you couldn't understand
No, no pudiste entender, oh oh oh
No, you couldn't understand, oh oh oh
Yo solo amaba, vivía y moría
I only loved, lived, and died
Pensaba y ardía por ti
I thought and burned for you
Yo solo buscaba, anhelaba el segundo
I was just searching, longing for the second
El instante de hacerte feliz
The moment to make you happy
Yo solo amaba, vivía y moría
I only loved, lived, and died
Pensaba y ardía por ti
I thought and burned for you
Yo solo anhelaba el instante
I only longed for the moment
De hacerte feliz
To make you happy
Yo solo quisiera saber
I just wish to know
Tan solo quisiera saber
I just wish to know
Si un día, no más
If one day, just one
Si un día en verdad fuiste mío
If one day you were truly mine
Si un día, no más
If one day, just one
Si un día en verdad fuiste mío
If one day you were truly mine
