Lyrics

Español

No sabrás... nunca sabrás lo que es morir mil veces de ansiedad. No podrás... nunca entender lo que es amar y enloquecer. Tus labios que queman... tus besos que embriagan y que torturan mi razón. Sed... que me hace arder y que me enciende el pecho de pasión. Estás clavada en mí... te siento en el latir abrasador de mis sienes. Te adoro cuando estás... y te amo mucho más cuando estás lejos de mí. Así te quiero dulce vida de mi vida. Así te siento... solo mía... siempre mía. Tengo miedo de perderte... de pensar que no he de verte. ¿Por qué esa duda brutal? ¿Por qué me habré de sangrar si en cada beso te siento desmayar? Sin embargo me atormento porque en la sangre te llevo. Y en cada instante... febril y amante quiero tus labios besar. ¿Qué tendrás en tu mirar que cuando a mí tus ojos levantás siento arder en mi interior una voraz llama de amor? Tus manos desatan... caricias que me atan a tus encantos de mujer. Sé que nunca más podré arrancar del pecho este querer. Te quiero siempre así... estás clavada en mí como una daga en la carne. Y ardiente y pasional... temblando de ansiedad quiero en tus brazos morir.

English · machine translation

You won't know... you'll never know what it's like to die a thousand deaths of anxiety. You won't... you will never understand what it is to love and go mad. Your lips that burn... your kisses that intoxicate me and that torture my reason. Thirst... that makes me burn and that sets my chest on fire with passion. You're stuck in me... I feel you in the burning beat of my temples. burning in my temples. I adore you when you are... and I love you more when you are far away from me. when you are far from me. This is how I love you, sweet life of my life. That's how I feel you... only mine... always mine. I'm afraid of losing you... to think that I won't see you. Why this brutal doubt? Why should I bleed if in every kiss I feel you faint? Yet I torment myself because I carry you in my blood. And in every instant... feverish and loving... I want to kiss your lips. What do you have in your look that when you raise your eyes to me I feel burning inside me a voracious flame of love? Your hands unleash... caresses that bind me to your womanly charms. I know that never again I will never again be able to tear this love from my breast. I love you always like this... you're stuck in me like a dagger in the flesh. And fiery and passionate... trembling with anxiety I want to die in your arms.
