Porque yo te amo [English translation]

Because of the quiver

I see in your look

I can sense

That you must be suffering

The same way I suffer

Because of this situation

Which clouds one's judgement

Without letting one think.

What is to become

Of this singular drama

That exists between us,

Trying to feign

A mere friendship?

While in reality

Passions are stirring

Which bite at the heart

And make me refrain [from saying]

I love you, I love you.

(chorus)

Your ruby lips

Of crimson red

Seem to murmur

A thousand things without speaking

And I, here,

Sitting before you,

I feel my blood draining

Unable to speak,

Trying to say

[that] Perhaps it's best

I leave this place

That we may never see each other again

After all, what difference would it make?

I know I would suffer for it

But at long last

My heart would be at ease

And I'd at last be able to shout,

"I love you, I love you!"

(spoken)

I love you, more than anything else in the world

(chorus)

I love you.
