I Don't Beg for Love

Yo no mendigo amor

I don't beg for loveYo no mendigo amor
I don't beg for loveYo no mendigo amor
Whoever wants to love me should look for me and call meLa que me quiera querer que me busque y me llame
Because I don't beg for love.Que yo no mendigo amor.

I don't beg for loveYo no mendigo amor
And much less for a caress.Y mucho menos una caricia.
Not even a kiss with its delightsNi un beso con sus delicias
No, I don't beg, no.No, no mendigo no.

I don't wait for their approval,No espero su aprobación,
Nor anyone's opinionTampoco la opinión de nadie
That's how I feel,Así es que me siento yo,
That's how I feel and that's why...Así es que me siento yo y por eso...

I don't beg for loveYo no mendigo amor
CHORUSESTRIBILLO

I tried it onceYa lo intenté una vez
And begged for a hug.Y le rogaba por un abrazo.
She gestured with her armMe hacía señas con el brazo
That she couldn't do it.Que no lo podía hacer.

She always had a dutySiempre tenía un deber
Whether the house, the kitchenQue si la casa, que la cocina
And the calls over at the officeY las llamadas allá en la oficina
She had to attend to.Tenía ella que atender.

This way I learnedDe esta manera aprendí
That if you give love completelyQue si el amor lo das por entero
It ends completelySe te acaba por completo
And nothing is left for you.Y nada te queda pa ti.

Give it little by littleDalo poquito a poco
And with little you will remain.Y con poco te quedarás.
And you won't have to begY no tendrás que mendigar
Like a crazy heartIgual que un corazón loco

And I tell you that...Y te digo que...
CHORUSESTRIBILLO

From now on I won't beg anyoneDe ahora en adelante no voy a rogarle a nadie
And much less ask for a favor.Y menos pedir un favor.

I will take my placeMe voy a dar mi lugar
First, second, third, it's me!Primero, segundo, tercero soy yo!

My words are simple, do you know where I am?Mis palabras son sencillas, sabes donde estoy?
In the yellow pages.En las páginas amarillas.

Let everyone know thatQue lo sepa todo el mundo que
I don't beg for loveYo no mendigo amor

I don't want charityNo quiero que me den limosna
I'm not a beggar.Yo no soy pordiosero.

If they give me loveSi me dan amor
Give it to me completelyQue me lo den por entero

Don't come to me with crumbsQue no me vengan con migajas
I don't want that.Que eso no lo quiero yo.
