No espero nada de ti Tan sólo lo que te pido Es que te acuerdes de mí Cuando te quedes dormido Porque en tu sueño me llamas y me haces llegar a ti Entre tus brazos me estrechas Me besas con frenesí Allí quiero ser la esclava Que tanto quiere a su dueño Y en ese instante mi empeño Es vivir el éxtasi De estar tan cerca de ti Aunque tan sólo en un sueño.

I expect nothing from you, All that I ask Is that you remember me When you go to sleep, Because in your dream you call me and you make me come to you, Between your arms you hold me, You kiss me with passion; There I want to be the slave Who loves [their] master so much, And in that instant my resolution Is to experience the ecstasy Of being so close to you, Even if only in a dream.
