Lyrics

Hoy lo quiero ver, estar con él me hace bien
Con él pude aprender a compartir sin nada que perder
Y esperaré aunque yo sé que hay algo en él que no me deja ver
Porque el destino juega al darme algo perfecto
Y tener que conformarme a verlo desde lejos
Porque no me di cuenta que él era tan distinto
Que por su preferencia nunca se fijaría en mí
Yo siempre soñé a alguien así y ahora debo admitir
Que hoy que lo encontré no es para mí, estoy muriendo por él
Lo esperaré aunque yo sé que es diferente a lo que quiero ver
Porque el destino juega al darme algo perfecto
Y tener que conformarme a verlo desde lejos
Porque no me di cuenta que él era tan distinto
Que por su preferencia nunca se fijaría en mí
Si me diera sólo una señal, no necesito nada más
Pero él es tan distinto
Y si no estamos juntos caigo tan profundo
No sé mandar mi corazón
Porque el destino juega al darme algo perfecto
Y tener que conformarme a verlo desde lejos
Porque no me di cuenta que él era tan distinto
Que por su preferencia nunca se fijaría en mí

Lyrics translation

Today I want to see him, being with him is good for me
With him I could learn to share with nothing to lose
And I'll wait though I know there's something in it that won't let me see
Because fate plays to give me something perfect
And having to settle for seeing it from afar
Because I didn't realize he was so different
Who by his preference would never notice me
I always dreamed of someone like that and now I have to admit
That today I found him is not for me, I'm dying for him
I'll wait for it though I know it's different than what I want to see
Because fate plays to give me something perfect
And having to settle for seeing it from afar
Because I didn't realize he was so different
Who by his preference would never notice me
If you give me just one sign, I don't need anything else
But he's so different
And if we're not together I fall so deep
I can't command my heart
Because fate plays to give me something perfect
And having to settle for seeing it from afar
Because I didn't realize he was so different
Who by his preference would never notice me
