Oh EmeraldOh Esmeralda
I didn't mean to act this wayNo quise actuar de esta manera
I feel numb and dumbMe siento entumecido y tonto
And oh so overcome by the things we sayY tan abrumado por las cosas que decimos
Oh EmeraldOh Esmeralda
I am not your little boyNo soy tu niñito
Times are tough enough for us to be so roughLos tiempos son lo suficientemente difíciles como para ser tan rudos
Swimming hard against the wavesNadando fuerte contra las olas
I don't mean to act so cruelNo quiero ser tan cruel
And I don't mean to punish youY no quiero castigarte
Must this be the life we choose¿Debe ser esta la vida que elegimos?
I don't want to be a slave to youNo quiero ser esclavo tuyo
I just want to be trueSolo quiero ser sincero
Oh EmeraldOh Esmeralda
If you could only see the view from my eyesSi tan solo pudieras ver la vista desde mis ojos
Then you'd know how far I've gone for youEntonces sabrías lo lejos que he llegado por ti
But you look the other wayPero tú miras hacia otro lado
But you don't mean to act so cruelPero no quieres ser tan cruel
And I don't mean to punish youY yo no quiero castigarte
Must this be the life we choose¿Debe ser esta la vida que elegimos?
I don't want to be a slave to youNo quiero ser esclavo tuyo
I just want to be trueSolo quiero ser sincero
We don't mean to act so cruelNo queremos ser tan crueles
And I don't mean to punish youY no quiero castigarte
Must this be the life we choose¿Debe ser esta la vida que elegimos?
I don't want to be a slave to youNo quiero ser esclavo tuyo
I just want to be trueSolo quiero ser sincero
