Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Colmena by Ely Guerra from Spanish to English.
Todos dicen que es mentira
Everyone says it's a lie
que te quiero
that I love you
porque nunca
because they had never
yo te juro que yo misma
I swear to you that even I
no comprendo
don't understand
me ha facinado
has fascinated me
cuando estoy cerca de ti
when I'm close to you
ya estoy contenta
I'm already happy
yo quisiera que de nadie te acordaras
I wish you wouldn't remember anyone else
hasta del pensamiento
even of the thought
que pueda recordarte
that you might remember
a otra persona amada
another loved one
que aunque pase mucho tiempo
that even after a long time passes
pensaras en el momento
you'll think of the moment
en que yo te conoci
when I met you
pues no hay nada
because there's nothing
ni mas grande en este mundo
or greater in this world
que el cariño que te di
than the love I gave you
con un beso enamorado
with a loving kiss
como nadie me ha besado
like no one has ever kissed me
desde el dia en que naci
since the day I was born
quiereme hasta la locura
love me to madness
y así sabras la amargura
and then you'll know the bitterness
que estoy sufriendo por ti
that I'm suffering because of you
Todos dicen que es mentira
Everyone says it's a lie
que te quiero
that I love you
Did you know?
