[Verso 1: Camilo]
[Verse 1: Camilo]
El la'o de tu cama que estaba caliente se está congelando
The side of your bed that was warm is freezing
Miro el teléfono y todas tus fotos me están torturando
I look at the phone and all your photos are torturing me
No te olvido todavía, ¿quién te dijo esa mentira?
I haven't forgotten you yet, who told you that lie?
Sabes que yo no te olvido
You know that I don't forget you
Yo no quiero alas pa' volar a otro lugar
I don't want wings to fly to another place
Yo solamente quiero estar contigo
I just want to be with you
[Coro: Camilo]
[Chorus: Camilo]
Dime ya por qué, eh-eh
Tell me now why, eh-eh
Dime por qué te fuiste, dímelo, bebé
Tell me why you left, tell me, baby
Dime ya por qué, eh-eh
Tell me now why, eh-eh
¿Por qué no me llamas? ¿Es que no me extrañas?
Why don't you call me? Do you not miss me?
Dime por qué, eh-eh
Tell me why, eh-eh
Dime por qué te fuiste, dímelo, bebé
Tell me why you left, tell me, baby
Dime ya por qué, eh-eh
Tell me now why, eh-eh
¿Por qué no me llamas? ¿Es que no me extrañas, bebé?
Why don't you call me? Do you not miss me, baby?
Yah (¡wuh!)
Yah (wuh!)
[Verso 2: El Alfa]
[Verse 2: El Alfa]
Mami, no te vaya', tú ere' mi tesoro
Mami, don't go, you are my treasure
Sin ti yo no vivo, mi amor, yo no como
Without you I don't live, my love, I don't eat
A mis amigo' en la calle no le' hago coro
I don't hang out with my friends on the street
Yo llego volando 'onde ti, no demoro
I come flying to where you are, I don't delay
Dámelo hoy, no me diga' tomorrow
Give it to me today, don't tell me "tomorrow"
Esa caderita y tu cuerpo devoro
Those little hips and your body, I devour
Tú ere' mi perla, diamante y tesoro
You are my pearl, diamond and treasure
Lo que yo má' amo en el mundo y no coro
What I love most in the world and I'm not joking
Sí, 'toy loco por volver a tenerte
Yes, I'm crazy to have you again
Sí, mi cama dice que eres mi suerte
Yes, my bed says you are my luck
Sí, la única que me ama y no e' por lo que tengo
Yes, the only one who loves me and it's not for what I have
Hay algo tuyo que se viene 'onde mí, pero no me detengo
There's something of yours coming to me, but I don't stop
[Coro: Camilo & El Alfa]
[Chorus: Camilo & El Alfa]
Dime ya por qué, eh-eh
Tell me now why, eh-eh
Dime por qué te fuiste, dímelo, bebé
Tell me why you left, tell me, baby
Dime ya por qué, eh-eh
Tell me now why, eh-eh
¿Por qué no me llamas? ¿Es que no me extrañas?
Why don't you call me? Do you not miss me?
Dime por qué, eh-eh (¿dime por qué te fuiste?)
Tell me why, eh-eh (tell me why you left?)
Dime por qué te fuiste, dímelo, bebé (no te me vayas)
Tell me why you left, tell me, baby (don't go)
Dime ya por qué, eh-eh (vuelve)
Tell me now why, eh-eh (come back)
¿Por qué no me llamas? ¿Es que no me extrañas, bebé?
Why don't you call me? Do you not miss me, baby?
[Puente: Camilo]
[Bridge: Camilo]
Yo sé que esa boca tuya solo quiere con la mía
I know that mouth of yours only wants mine
Solo queda tu recuerdo pa' arroparme noche y día
Only your memory is left to tuck me in night and day
Yo sé que esa boca tuya solo quiere con la mía
I know that mouth of yours only wants mine
Una vida sin tus besos yo no sé cómo sería
A life without your kisses, I don't know how it would be
[Coro: Camilo]
[Chorus: Camilo]
Dime ya por qué, eh-eh
Tell me now why, eh-eh
Dime por qué te fuiste, dímelo, bebé
Tell me why you left, tell me, baby
Dime ya por qué, eh-eh
Tell me now why, eh-eh
¿Por qué no me llamas? ¿Es que no me extrañas?
Why don't you call me? Do you not miss me?
Dime por qué, eh-eh
Tell me why, eh-eh
Dime por qué te fuiste, dímelo, bebé
Tell me why you left, tell me, baby
Dime ya por qué, eh-eh
Tell me now why, eh-eh
¿Por qué no me llamas? ¿Es que no me extrañas, bebé?
Why don't you call me? Do you not miss me, baby?
