| Fue que de pronto encontré | It happened: all at once, I stumbled upon |
| Un secreto en todo tu ser | A cipher veiled within the marrow of your soul, |
| Que me enredó en tus ojos de luna y toda tu miel | That snared me in your moonlit gaze, in honeyed depths untold, |
| No supe cómo parar, fue un impulso mortal | I knew no art to halt—a fever, fatal, unresisted, |
| Respondí a mi cuerpo que me rogaba de tu amar | I yielded to my flesh, which knelt for your benediction. |
| Devuélvete pronto a mí | Return to me, swift as a swallow at dusk, |
| Ya no entiendo nada de mí | Now I wander, a labyrinth—my self estranged, unspun, |
| Eres tan vital para mí | You are the air that animates my veins, |
| ¿Qué no entiendes que siento morir? | Do you not see—my ruin trembles at your absence? |
| Devuélvete pronto a mi piel | Return to my skin, the harbor famished for your tides, |
| Me secaste, enloquezco de sed | You left me parched—my mind reels for want of rain, |
| Ya no duermo, no pienso | I forsake sleep, thought— |
| No siento tener claridez | Clarity deserts me, shadows inherit my eyes. |
| Fueron tan pocos días | How brief the hours were— |
| Conocí tu manera de amar | I tasted the strange cadence of your love, |
| Eres tú todo lo que yo siempre me quise encontrar | You became the mirror by which I long pursued my shadow. |
| No supe como me di | I never fathomed how I fell, |
| Me entregue sin pensar en que si | I surrendered—heedless of any tomorrow, |
| Eras un peligro o si yo era alguien para ti | Were you a tempest, or was I naught but a whisper to you? |
| Devuélvete pronto a mí | Return to me, swift as a swallow at dusk, |
| Ya no entiendo nada de mí | Now I wander, a labyrinth—my self estranged, unspun, |
| Eres tan vital para mí | You are the air that animates my veins, |
| ¿Qué no entiendes que siento morir? | Do you not see—my ruin trembles at your absence? |
| Devuélvete pronto a mi piel | Return to my skin, the harbor famished for your tides, |
| Me secaste, enloquezco de sed | You left me parched—my mind reels for want of rain, |
| Ya no duermo, no pienso | I forsake sleep, thought— |
| No siento tener claridez | Clarity deserts me, shadows inherit my eyes. |

| No siento tener claridez | Clarity deserts me, shadows inherit my eyes. |
| Y ahora, después de tenerte tan cerca | And now, with you once pressed so near, |
| Y reconocer que te fuiste con otra mujer | And the bitter gleam—knowing you fled for another’s arms, |
| Y yo solo fui un querer | And I—a mere wish, the crest of longing, |
| Ese alguien para ti | That shadow for you, |
| Que te hace sonreír | The flicker that conjures your smile, |
| Yo no existe en tu mundo | I have vanished from your waking world, |
| Pues ya te olvidaste de mí | For you—already—you have forgotten me. |
