Todos dicen que es mentira que te quiero, porque nunca me habían visto enamorada. Yo te juro que yo misma no comprendo, el porqué me fascina tu mirada.

Cuando estoy cerca de ti y estás contento, no quisiera que de nadie te acordaras. Tengo celos hasta del pensamiento, que pueda recordarte a otra mujer amada.

Júrame, que aunque pase mucho tiempo, no olvidarás el momento en que yo te conocí.

Mírame, pues no hay nada más profundo, ni más grande en este mundo, que el cariño que te di.

Bésame, con un beso enamorado, como nadie me ha besado, desde el día en que nací.

Quiéreme, quiéreme hasta la locura, así sabrás la amargura, que estoy sufriendo por ti.

Everyone says it’s a lie that I love you, because they’ve never seen me in love. I swear to you I too don’t understand why I’m fascinated by your gaze.

When I’m close to and you are content, I don’t want you to think of another. I’m jealous at even the thought that you can remember another woman beloved.

Swear to me, that even when much time passes, you won’t forget the moment I knew you.

Look at me, there’s nothing more profound nor greater in the world than the love I gave you.

Kiss me, with a kiss filled with love like no one has kissed me with since the day I was born.

Love me, love me to the point of madness, that way you’ll know the bitterness that I am suffering for you
