Que mi corazón está colgando en tus manos
Cuidado, cuidado
Que mi corazón está colgando en tus manos

No me importa qué dice el destino
Quiero tener tu fragancia conmigo
Y beberme de ti, lo prohibido

No importa qué diga el destino
Quédate conmigo, ven
Mucho cuidado
Lo quiero todo de ti
Tus labios, tu cariño, lo prohibido, ay
