I liked you a long time agoHace tiempo me gustabas tú
Since I was a child, loveDesde que yo era un niño, amor
But I loved you in silencePero te amaba en silencio
I couldn't make you fall in loveNo podía enamorarte a ti
I couldn't make you fall in loveNo podía enamorarte a ti

Now I would like to talk to you, loveAhora quisiera hablarte amor
Tell you nice thingsDecirte cosas bonitas
Remind you of those times, babyRecordarte aquellos tiempos, nena
When we were kidsCuando éramos muchachito
We used to go to school togetherÍbamos junto' a la escuela
Those two lonely kids, yesEsos dos niños solitos, sí
You bought an ice creamQue tú compraba' un helado
And gave me a little pieceY me daba' un pedacito a mi
You looked at me intentlyMe mirabas fijamente
Held my handMe agarraba mi manito a mi
From my school shirtDe mi camisa escolar
You pulled off a button, yesMe arrancaba un botoncito, sí
We walked awayNos íbamos caminando
Singing to my little school, yesCantándole a mi escuelita, sí
But I couldn't talk about lovePero no le puede hablar de amor
But I couldn't talk about lovePero no le puede hablar de amor

I don't play around [?]Es que yo no juego [?]
Look how cool, how niceMira que chulo, que chévere
My black one sounds lovely, how lovely it soundsEsa negra mía suena lindo, que lindo que suena
But it has a twistPero tiene mambo
How cool, how niceQue chulo, que chévere

Now I want to marry youAhora me quiero casar contigo
But she's engaged, ohPero tiene compromiso, ay
Oh my God, what will become of me?Ay Dios mío ¿qué será de mí?
If I love that girlSi yo amo a esa muchachita
I know I was at fault, ohSé que yo tuve la culpa, ay
For not speaking a word to herPor no hablarle palabrita'
And now I know I lost herY ahora sé que la perdí
And now I know I lost herY ahora sé que la perdí
