Lyrics:

Hoy no tengo nada,
hoy no tengo a nadie.
Te adoro con gran pasión...
Si hoy no soy nadie
al menos te brindo mi amor...
¡Te amo!

Tú y tus diamantes
son para tu amante.
Pero dime, no puedes ver
que aunque la vida le des
jamás te amará como yo...
¡Te amo!

Tú la llevas para presumir
a esos clubes y restaurantes;
Y ya no puedo resistir
mirarlos a través
de mi dolor...

Hoy no tengo nada,
hoy no tengo a nadie.
Y mientras bailando van,
quisiera ser la otra mujer...
¡si sólo soy yo
quien te ama!
quien te ama...
quien te ama...

Note by Carlos: In the third verse, the words "clubes" and "restaurantes" were sung with english accent, so we can hear "clubs" and "restaurants". It is possible that the composer wrote that words in English because in many Latin American countries people use to say both words in the English way, even when the Spanish dictionary doesn't recognize that way.
