Quiero
Bertín Osborne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Por el amor de una mujer
Jugué con fuego sin saber
Que era yo quien me quemaba
Bebí en las fuentes del placer
Hasta llegar a comprender
Que no era a mi quien amaba

Por el amor de una mujer

He dado todo cuanto fui
Lo más hermoso de mi vida,
Mas ese tiempo que perdí
Ha de servirme alguna vez
Cuando se cure bien mi herida

Todo me parece como un sueño todavía
Pero sé que al fin podré olvidar un día
Hoy me siento triste pero pronto cantaré
Y prometo no acordarme nunca del ayer

Por el amor de una mujer
Llegué a llorar y enloquecer
Mientras que ella se reía
Rompí en pedazos un cristal
Dejé mis venas desangrar
Pues no sabía lo que hacía

Por el amor de una mujer
He dado todo cuanto fui
Lo más hermoso de mi vida,
Mas ese tiempo que perdí

Ha de servirme alguna vez
Cuando se cure bien mi herida

Por el amor de una mujer
I did everything for the love of a woman

Jugué con fuego sin saber
I played with fire without knowing the consequences

Que era yo quien me quemaba
I was the one getting burned

Bebí en las fuentes del placer
I indulged in pleasure

Hasta llegar a comprender
Until I understood

Que no era a mi quien amaba
She didn't love me in return

He dado todo cuanto fui
I gave everything that I was

Lo más hermoso de mi vida,
The most beautiful things in my life

Mas ese tiempo que perdí
But that time I lost

Ha de servirme alguna vez
Will serve me someday

Cuando se cure bien mi herida
When my wound is finally healed

Todo me parece como un sueño todavía
It all feels like a dream still

Pero sé que al fin podré olvidar un día
But I know I'll forget one day

Hoy me siento triste pero pronto cantaré
Today I feel sad but I will sing soon

Y prometo no acordarme nunca del ayer
And I promise to never remember yesterday

Llegué a llorar y enloquecer
I cried and went insane

Mientras que ella se reía
While she laughed

Rompí en pedazos un cristal
I smashed a glass into pieces

Dejé mis venas desangrar
I let my veins bleed

Pues no sabía lo que hacía
Because I didn't know what I was doing
