Yo sí quería [English translation]

How difficult it is to finish what hasn't started

and to put an end to what has never been written,

I would have given anything for it to have been me

who filled in your emptiness1, who sweetened your Sundays,

but you always gave me your kindness

but you didn't have the courage to risk your heart.

And I did want to be your life2

not just to sleep with you but to wake up with you,3

and I was dying to brighten up your days

to lighten up your heart,

and not just be an option, not just nights of passion,

I just wanted to be your love.

I thought I had everything under control

but it slipped through my hands,

I broke the promise and felt with my heart4

yeah, I felt with my heart

and you never said no

but you didn't have the courage to risk your heart.

And I did want to be your life

not just to sleep with you but to wake up with you

and I was dying to brighten up your days

to lighten up your heart,

and not just be an option, not just nights of passion,

I just wanted to be your love.

I know in a way you had warned me

but I wanted to fight against the current,

maybe what you felt would change

and my fantasy is unreal.

And I did want to be your life

not just to sleep with you but to wake up with you

and I was dying to brighten up your days

to lighten up your heart,

and not just be an option, not just nights of passion,

I just wanted to be your love.

1. lit. 'gaps'.2. or 'I did want to be in your life'.3. in the morning4. I'm looking at the lyrics and this line makes no sense. I'll check in the booklet to see if that's correct, but have otherwise left it as so.
