[Verso 1]
[Verse 1]
Hace tiempo que te veo en un lugar
It's been a while that I've seen you somewhere
Tan solita y tan triste
So alone and so sad
Y tu llanto ya no cesa
And your crying won't stop
Quién se atreve a romperle el corazón
Who dares to break the heart
A una princesa
Of a princess
Cómo alguien pudo herir
How could someone hurt
A un angelito
A little angel
Que entregó su corazón sin darse cuenta
Who gave her heart without realizing
Que el amor a veces duele
That love sometimes hurts
Y que Cupido jamás escoge a la persona incorrecta
And that Cupid never chooses the wrong person
Oh!
Oh!
[Coro]
[Chorus]
Si yo fuera él
If I were him
Viviría para darte el mundo a tus pies
I'd live to put the world at your feet
Dibujarte una sonrisa al amanecer
Draw you a smile at dawn
Baby, él no te merece
Baby, he doesn't deserve you
Deja al estúpido ese
Leave that idiot
Y dame un chance
And give me a chance
Si yo fuera él
If I were him
Viviría para darte el mundo a tus pies
I'd live to put the world at your feet
Dibujarte una sonrisa al amanecer
Draw you a smile at dawn
Baby, él no te merece
Baby, he doesn't deserve you
Deja al estúpido ese
Leave that idiot
Déjame amarte
Let me love you
[Verso 2]

Ah!
Ah!
Mami, tú sabes que
Mami, you know that
El Maffio te ama
El Maffio loves you
Conmigo tú no vas a tener drama
With me you won't have drama
Cero tristeza, cero problema
Zero sadness, zero problems
Y si discutimos lo arreglamos en la cama
And if we argue we fix it in bed
A tu vida quiero darle color
I want to give color to your life
Y borrar de ti todo el dolor
And erase all the pain from you
Quiero enseñarte lo que es el amor
I want to teach you what love is
Déjame ser dueño de tu corazón
Let me be the owner of your heart
[Bridge]
[Bridge]
Si tú me das una oportunidad
If you give me a chance
Quiero enseñarte el amor
I want to teach you love
Déjame ser dueño de tu corazón
Let me be the owner of your heart
Si tú me das una oportunidad
If you give me a chance
Quiero enseñarte el amor
I want to teach you love
Déjame ser dueño de tu corazón
Let me be the owner of your heart
