[Verso 1]
[Verse 1]
Te recuerdo como una niña aquella de la escuela
I remember you as that little girl from school
La que se creía la reina del salón
The one who thought she was the queen of the classroom
La de ojitos saltones y mirada traviesa
The one with big eyes and a mischievous look
La que dejó en mi alma la primera ilusión
The one who left in my soul the first illusion
Te recuerdo como la niña aquella de las trenzas
I remember you as that little girl with the braids
La que me cortejaba a espaldas del profesor
The one who courted me behind the teacher's back
La que siempre supo encantar con su presencia
The one who always knew how to charm with her presence
La que no paraba de escribir mi nombre en el pizarrón
The one who wouldn't stop writing my name on the blackboard
[Pre-Coro]
[Pre-Chorus]
Hoy recuerdo la niña aquella
Today I remember that little girl
La que pasaba todas las materias
The one who passed every subject
La que a mitad de quinto se fue y nunca más volvió
The one who mid-fifth grade left and never came back
[Coro]
[Chorus]
Yo te veo y no me lo creo
I see you and I can't believe it
Mira qué bien te ha tratado el tiempo
Look how well time has treated you
Y al mirarte me dan deseos
And looking at you makes me want
De hacerte reina de mi reino
To make you queen of my kingdom
Te ves perfecta
You look perfect
Me ha dejado alucinado tu belleza
Your beauty has left me amazed
Tu corazón no tiene dueño
Your heart has no owner
No me mientas, no me quieras causar esa tristeza
Don't lie to me, don't try to cause me that sadness
Te ves perfecta
You look perfect
Me ha dejado alucinado tu belleza
Your beauty has left me amazed
Tu corazón no tiene dueño
Your heart has no owner
No me mientas, no me quieras causar esa tristeza
Don't lie to me, don't try to cause me that sadness
[Post-Coro]
[Post-Chorus]
Princesa, dime si aún quieres ser mi reina
Princess, tell me if you still want to be my queen
Dime si aún quieres ser mi reina
Tell me if you still want to be my queen
Dime si aún quieres ser mi reina
Tell me if you still want to be my queen
Dime si aún quieres ser mi reina
Tell me if you still want to be my queen
Dime si aún quieres ser mi reina
Tell me if you still want to be my queen
[Coro]
[Chorus]
Yo te veo y no me lo creo
I see you and I can't believe it
Mira qué bien te ha tratado el tiempo
Look how well time has treated you
Y al mirarte me dan deseos
And looking at you makes me want
De hacerte reina de mi reino
To make you queen of my kingdom
Te ves perfecta
You look perfect
Me ha dejado alucinado tu belleza
Your beauty has left me amazed
Tu corazón no tiene dueño
Your heart has no owner
No me mientas, no me quieras causar esa tristeza
Don't lie to me, don't try to cause me that sadness
Te ves perfecta
You look perfect
Me ha dejado alucinado tu belleza
Your beauty has left me amazed
Tu corazón no tiene dueño
Your heart has no owner
No me mientas, no me quieras causar esa tristeza
Don't lie to me, don't try to cause me that sadness

Princess, tell me if you still want to be my queen
Dime si aún quieres ser mi reina
Tell me if you still want to be my queen
Dime si aún quieres ser mi reina
