Bailar Contigo (Dancing With You)
Vivo fingiendo un sueño que no se cuenta
Vivo imaginándote, sólo imaginándote
Pero el amor se escapa, aunque yo te mienta
Yo estaba buscándote, sola aquí esperándote
I live pretending a dream that cannot be told
I live imagining you, only imagining you
But love escapes, even if I lie to you
I was looking for you, alone here waiting for you

Te dije adiós
Llegaste tarde para despedirnos

You were late to say goodbye
And if the hasty destiny wanted to hurt us
I discovered a solution for the pain
