Verse 1
I have a soul in love just from thinking, sweetheart
The performance in this video, was his last performance, on 15 May 1992.
From dreaming night after night, owner of your love
At the beginning of the video, Chalino is seen being handed a note from someone in the crowd
I have a soul in love very in love, my dear
The note is commonly believed to have been a death threat whereby he would be killed after the song
If you give me all your life, I'll give it to you also
After leaving this show in his car, he was pulled over by a group of armed men in black Chevrolet Suburbans
I have a soul in love just from thinking, sweetheart
They showed state police ID cards and told Chalino their commander wanted to see him
From dreaming night after night, owner of your love
Chalino agreed and got into one of their cars while the others stayed behind
I have a soul in love very in love, my dear
The following day, at six in the morning, two farmers found Chalino's body by an irrigation canal near Highway 15, near the neighborhood of Los Laureles, Culiacán
If you give me all your life, I'll give it to you also
He was blindfolded and his wrists were red and had rope marks
Chorus 1
Say, say if your heart
He had been shot in the back of the head twice
It has another love or has another affection
Say, say if there's no other love
Because my heart will die for you
Verse 2
I don't know if you love me but I can wait for you
If you leave me waiting, you're going to kill me
Don't deny me your gaze because I want to dream it
And my soul in love wants you more
I don't know if you love me but I can wait for you
If you leave me waiting, you're going to kill me
Don't deny me your gaze because I want to dream it
And my soul in love wants you more
Chorus 2
Say, say if your heart
It has another love or has another affection
Say, say if there's no other love
Because my heart will die for you

Alma Enamorada is a heartfelt confession in which Chalino Sánchez lets his soul speak first. From the opening line he declares that simply thinking about his beloved sets his heart on fire. Night after night he daydreams of being the one who owns her love, promising to trade his entire life for hers. The lively Regional Mexican sound frames this rush of passion, turning a personal vow into a sing-along celebration of devotion.
Yet beneath the upbeat melody lies a pulse of uncertainty. The singer pleads, Di, di… tell me if your heart belongs to someone else, because his own heart will die without her truth. He is willing to wait forever, but warns that endless waiting would also destroy him. The song captures that bittersweet moment when love is all-consuming, hope is high, and one honest answer can decide between endless joy or heartbreaking silence.
