Cuida de mim [English translation]

When the world already slept

I think about you, my dear

And, one star makes me

Ask for you to think about me too

Tonight I will dream

and in your arms is where I want to be

And there's nowhere better for me.

I need to love you

I'm begging you, so watch over me

If only you knew that I'm so close

If only you could look at me

And hear, from my eyes,1

that I'm begging you

Watch over me2

I can hold you in my dreams at night

But I soon lose you in the morning

I know that one day I will have

courage and say:

"I want you, my love".

Tonight I will dream

and in your arms is where I want to be

And there's nowhere that may be better for me.

I need to love you

I'm begging you, so watch over me

When the world already slept

I think about you, my dear

Today the dream is real

You came to say at last:

"My love, I do love you".

Tonight I will dream

Today and forever

In your arms is where I want to be

And there's nowhere better for me

I need to love you

I'm begging you, so watch over me

1. It also doesn't make sense to me, and you are right: we cannot hear through our eyes, but this is what is in the song, so go figure!.2. It can also be translated as 'take good care of me'. But I thought 'watch over me' fit much better in this context.
