| Dicen por el barrio que soy malo | They whisper through the alleys I am wicked, |
| Y que pierdes tu tiempo | That you squander your hours as dust through a sieve, |
| Que soy un hombre terco | That I am a man carved from granite, unyielding, |
| Y hasta comentan que soy mujeriego | And some, in darkness, murmur I am a hunter of skirts, |
| Que soy un perro muerto en el desierto | That I am a hound, bleached bones on desolate sands, |
| Hasta secretos tengo | Even riddles linger beneath my tongue, |
| Y tú no crees en ellos | Yet you, unmoved by fables, turn from their shadows, |
| Solo te importa que los dos nos queremos | Your world holds only the hearth where our longing burns bright, |
| Por mí que hablen | Let the voices drone on—let their words be wild thistle, |
| Y digan lo que quieran | Let them cast what stones they choose, |
| Te amare la vida entera | I shall love you for a lifetime’s full turning, |
| Hasta que no haya oxigeno | Until breath deserts the vault of air, |
| Si entendieran que nuestro amor | If only they grasped the spell of our passion— |
| Es como un fuego inalcalsable apagar | A blaze not even a tidal night could smother, |
| Y yo, soy adicto de tu cuerpo | And I, a fevered captive to the rapture of your skin, |
| Eres la sangre en mis venas | You—red current, threading all my veins, |
| Y me aceleras el corazón | You set my heart galloping, a stallion unbridled, |
| Y tú, tan perfecta como el viento | And you, as flawless as wind over evening fields, |
| No hay nadie en este planeta | There is no soul beneath the arc of sky, |
| Que me completa como lo haces tú… | Who completes me with the artistry of your touch… |
| Por mí que hablen | Let the voices drone on—let their words be wild thistle, |
| Y digan lo que quieran | Let them cast what stones they choose, |
| Te amare la vida entera | I shall love you for a lifetime’s full turning, |
| Y hasta que no haya oxigeno | And until breath deserts the vault of air, |
| Si entendieran que nuestro amor | If only they grasped the spell of our passion— |
| Es como un fuego | A fire, |
| Y inalcansable apagar, no, no | Impossible to quell, an ember immune to night, no, no, |
| Y yo, soy adicto de tu cuerpo | And I, a fevered captive to the rapture of your skin, |
| Eres la sangre en mis venas | You—red current, threading all my veins, |
| Y me aceleras el corazón | You set my heart galloping, a stallion unbridled, |
| Y tu, tan perfecta como el viento | And you, as flawless as wind over evening fields, |
| No hay nadie en este planeta | There is no soul beneath the arc of sky, |
| Que me completa como lo haces tu… | Who completes me with the artistry of your touch… |
