Querido mío [English translation]

I get up, arrange the house

And take the children to school.

I don't complain, I accept it all

And enjoy myself seeing how happy they are.

And you feel proud, because you make me so happy...

My darling husband, do not be mistaken:

Sometimes, I want to run away...

My darling husband, do not be mistaken:

Sometimes, I keep quiet to avoid screaming.

My dear husband, with your selfishness

You've managed to make me utterly miserable.

My darling husband, you've built

This great world thinking only about your needs.

Don't be mistaken...

Don't be mistaken...

In the afternoon, I dream all alone

And make up this silly little fantasies.

I primp myself and I apply my makeup

While crying of pleasure and agony

While I hope that, maybe some day,

I will be able to find happiness...

My dear husband, do not be mistaken:

You've condemned me to loneliness.

My dear husband, do not be mistaken:

You've never known what love is.

My dear husband... I've wasted my life,

I've wasted all these years only for you.

My dear husband... One of these mornings

I will leave this house and find a real life...

I will leave chasing a dream, so I can live...
