Translation:

Recuerdo aquella vez
Que yo te conocí
Recuerdo aquella tarde
Pero no recuerdo ni como te vi.

I remember that time
When I first met you
I remember that afternoon
But I don't even remember how I saw you.

Pero sí te diré
Que yo me enamoré
De (esos) tus lindos ojos
Y tus labios rojos que no olvidaré.
(x2)

But I will tell you
That I fell in love
With (those) your beautiful eyes
And your red lips that I won't forget.
(x2)

Oye esta canción que lleva [alt. Toma esta...]
Alma, corazón y vida.
Esas tres cositas nada más te doy.

[Continued at songlations.com]

Porque no tengo fortuna [alt. Como no...]
Esas tres cosas te ofrezco:
Alma, corazón y vida y nada más.

Alma para conquistarte,
Corazón para quererte
Y vida para vivirla junto a ti.
(x2)
