Que amantes siempre te adoraré,
Yo con tus besos y tus caricias,
Mi sufrimiento acallaré.
Cuando se quiere de veras,
Como te quiero yo a tí,
Es imposible mi cielo, tan separados vivir.
Cuando se quiere de veras
Es imposible mi cielo, tan separados vivir,
Tan separados vivir.

Como te quiero yo a tí,
Es imposible mi cielo, tan separados vivir,
Tan separados vivir.
