Singer: Marco Antonio Solís
Dame solo lo que sientas de verdad que puedes darme
Si es poquito, mas lo sientes, suficiente es para mí
No quisiera, a mis años, otra vez equivocarme
Y llenarme de ilusiones que solo me harán sufrir
Give me only what you want me to give
If it’s little, but sincere, that’s enough for me
I wouldn’t want, at my age, to make another mistake
And fill myself with hopes that will only bring me pain
Para serte bien sincero, yo he sentido que te quiero
Mas presiento que pronto te voy a amar
Que tus labios a los míos hoy le digan
Que me vaya o que me puedo quedar
To be truly honest, I’ve felt that I care for you
But I sense that soon I’ll love you
Let your lips tell mine today
Whether I should leave or if I can stay
Yo he caído una y otra, y tantas veces en traiciones
Y perdones para aligerar mi carga repartí
No sabía que en el alma una ilusión se me escondía
No sabía, hasta aquel bendito día que te vi
I have fallen again and again, so many times into betrayals
And I handed out forgiveness to lighten my burden
I didn’t know that deep in my soul, a hope was hiding
I didn’t know, until that blessed day I saw you
Para serte bien sincero, yo he sentido que te quiero
Mas presiento que pronto te voy a amar
Que tus labios a los míos hoy le digan
Que me vaya o que me puedo quedar
To be truly honest, I’ve felt that I care for you
But I sense that soon I’ll love you
Let your lips tell mine today
Whether I should leave or if I can stay
