Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ruleta Rusa by Enrique Iglesias from Spanish to English.
Dime princesa de hielo ¿dónde vas?
Tell me, ice princess, where are you going?
Eres tan fría que ya me quemas
You're so cold that you already burn me
Eres mi alivio
You are my relief
Tambien me haces sufrir
But you also make me suffer
Y aunque lo ignores
And even if you ignore it
Yo no soy de piedra
I am not made of stone
Busco tu alma
I search for your soul
Quién sabe dónde va
Who knows where it goes
Mi fugitiva, mi carcelera
My fugitive, my jailer
Haces que muera y me haces revivir
You make me die and you make me come back to life
Juega conmigo, házme lo que quieras
Play with me, do whatever you want to me
Algo que se tira o se usa
Something to be thrown away or used
Amarte es igual que jugar
Loving you is like playing
A la ruleta rusa
Russian roulette
¿Cómo te puedo yo amar?
How can I love you?
Una marioneta una excusa
A puppet, an excuse
Amarte es igual que perder
Loving you is like losing
A la ruleta rusa
At Russian roulette
¿Cómo te puedo ganar?
How can I win you?
¿Cómo te puedo querer?
How can I love you?
Tiro la toalla y me vuelvo a levantar
I throw in the towel and I get up again
Y el verme herido
And seeing myself wounded
Te vuelve loca
Drives you crazy
Y ya no puedo de tanto suplicar
And I can't beg anymore
Y de bailar al son
And dancing to the tune
Que tú me tocas
That you play for me
Quiero ablandarte
I want to soften you
Y no hay nada que hacer
And there's nothing to be done
Tu corazón es como una roca
Your heart is like a rock
¿Quieres mi vida?
Do you want my life?
Quítamela ya
Take it away from me now
Soy todo tuyo
I am all yours
Pide por tu boca
Ask with your mouth
¿Es eso amor?
Is that love?
