Lyrics (interpreted)
[Verse 1]
Quererte a ti es como querer arrancarle un quejido al viento
Un beso al vacío y una sonrisa al silencio
Quererte a ti es conjugar el verbo amar en soledad
Un "te quiero" sin respuesta, y no querer ver que mis caricias te molestan
[Chorus]
Quererte a ti es querer ganar el cielo por amor
Es haber perdido el miedo al dolor, es luchar contra nadie en la batalla
Y ahogar el fuego que me nace en las entrañas
Quererte a ti, quererte a ti, quererte a ti, quererte a ti
[Verse 2]
Alimentar la palabra ternura y esconder mis lágrimas en las espaldas
De mis noches en blanco y a oscuras, lágrimas de celos y dudas
De nada sirve que yo te llore, de nada sirve que yo te implore
¿Hasta cuándo y hasta dónde tengo que esperar que de mí te enamores?
[Chorus]
Quererte a ti es querer ganar el cielo por amor
Es haber perdido el miedo al dolor, es luchar contra nadie en la batalla
Y ahogar el fuego que me nace en las entrañas
Quererte a ti, quererte a ti es callar y esperar
[Chorus]
Quererte a ti es querer ganar el cielo por amor
Es haber perdido el miedo al dolor, es luchar contra nadie en la batalla
Y ahogar el fuego que me nace en las entrañas
Quererte a ti, quererte a ti, quererte a ti
[Verse 1]
Loving you is like trying to make a moan out of the wind.
A kiss to the void and a smile to the silence
Loving you is conjugating the verb to love in solitude
An "I love you" without an answer, and not wanting to see that my caresses bother you
[Chorus]
Loving you is wanting to win heaven for love
It is having lost the fear of pain, it is fighting against no one in battle
And drown the fire that is born in my gut
Love you, love you, love you, love you
[Verse 2]
Feed the word tenderness and hide my tears on your back
Of my white and dark nights, tears of jealousy and doubts
It's no use for me to cry for you, it's no use for me to implore you
How long and how long do I have to wait for you to fall in love with me?
[Chorus]
Loving you is wanting to win heaven for love
It is having lost the fear of pain, it is fighting against no one in battle
And drown the fire that is born in my gut
Loving you, loving you is to keep quiet and wait
[Chorus]
Loving you is wanting to win heaven for love
It is having lost the fear of pain, it is fighting against no one in battle
And drown the fire that is born in my gut
Love you, love you, love you
