Miedo de amar [English translation]

I'm afraid to love with tenderness,

Afraid to see deeply into your eyes,

To be a slave to an unequaled beauty,

And from the sweetness of your red lips.

It's just that you don't know how much I love you,

It's just that you don't know the inspiration you are to my life,

But rather than your love, I only prefer a friendship,

Because woman; I'm afraid, afraid to be hurt again.

It's just that you don't know what I'd give to kiss you,

Nor how your femininity captivates me;

Afraid, so afraid to offer you,

To give you my poems,

My songs and my freedom.
