Lyrics

Español

Porque tus ojos me huyen Acaso no me amas ya... Dime que lo haces tan sólo Por ver si te quiero más... Dilo, no ves que mi alma Espera escuchar tu voz... Entre canciones de besos Me dices: “Te quiero, mi vida...” Temo que ya no me quieras Que ya no me quieras más... Y es cruel tortura el pensar Que no me amas, que a otro amás... Dime que es fiel tu cariño Dime que es mío, muy mío, Que sólo me huyen tus ojos Por verme sufrir.

English · machine translation

Because your eyes run away from me Don't you love me anymore? Tell me that you do it just To see if I love you more... Say it, don't you see that my soul Is waiting to hear your voice... Between songs of kisses You tell me: "I love you, my life..." I fear that you don't love me anymore That you don't love me anymore... And it's cruel torture to think That you don't love me, that you love someone else... Tell me that your love is faithful Tell me that it's mine, very mine, That only your eyes flee from me To see me suffer.
