| Me gustas cuando callas | I like you when you shut up |
| Porque estas como ausente | Why are you absent? |
| Y me oyes desde lejos | And you hear me from afar |
| Y mi voz no te toca | And my voice does not touch you |
| Parece que los ojos | It seems that the eyes |
| Se te hubieran volado | they would have flown you |
| Y parece que un beso | And it seems that a kiss |
| Te cerrara la boca | I will shut your mouth |
| Me gustas cuando callas | I like you when you shut up |
| Y estas como distante | And you're like distant |
| Y estas como quejandote | And you're like complaining |
| Mariposa en arrullo | Cooing butterfly |
| Y me oyes desde lejos | And you hear me from afar |
| Y mi voz no te alcanza | And my voice does not reach you |
| Dejame que me calle | let me shut up |
| Con el silencio tuyo | with your silence |
| Dejame que te hable | let me talk to you |
| Tambien con tu silencio | Also with your silence |
| Claro como una lampara | clear as a lamp |
| Simple como un anillo | Simple as a ring |
| Eres como la noche | you are like the night |
| Callada y constelada | silent and constellated |
| Tu silencio es de estrella | Your silence is a star |
| Tan lejano y sencillo | so far and simple |

| Una palabra entonces | a word then |
| Una sonrisa bastan | a smile is enough |
| Y estoy alegre, alegre | And I'm happy, happy |
| De que no sea cierto | that it's not true |
