No espero nada de ti
Language: Spanish (Español)
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
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
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.
