Translation of the song Mil maneras de querer artist Álex, Jorge y Lena

Yo te quise a mi manera

I loved you my way

que es difícil de entender.

which is hard to understand.

Yo te quise y no lo supe

I loved you and didn't know it

porque yo no sé querer.

because I don't know how to love.

Y ahora sé que a mi manera

And now I know that I loved you

tan confusa y tan difícil yo te quise.

in my confusing and complicated way.

Yo te quise a mi manera

I loved you my way

y eso me llevó a perderte.

and that led me to lose you.

Tú quisiste que quisiera

You wanted me to love

a tu manera y ahora ves.

your way and now you see.

Nos quedamos sin el pan y sin el queso

We were left without bread, without cheese

y sin decirnos todo eso que sentimos.

and without telling each other all that we feel.

Yo te quise aunque no quise

I loved you although I didn't want

que tú fueras para mi

you to be mine,

pero Dios tiene su forma de reír.

but God laughs in his own way.

Y más tarde pude ver

And later I could see

que hay maneras y maneras de querer.

there are ways and ways to love.

Porque existen mil maneras de querer.

'Cause there are a thousand ways to love.

Yo te quise a mi manera

I loved you my way

aunque no quería quererte

although I didn't want to love you

por el miedo a que quisieras

out of fear that you wanted

convertirme en un papel

to turn me into a crumpled

arrugado y aburrido

and boring paper,

como tú querías que fueran tantas cosas conmigo.

the way you wanted many things to be with me.

Pero sé que a tu manera

But I know that in your own way

tú me diste lo que fue,

you gave me what it was,

lo mas lindo de tus años

the nicest of your years

y eso no lo olvidaré.

and I won't forget that.

Y aunque pasen muchas cosas,

And 'though many things happen

mucha gente por mi vida, yo te quise... ay Dios.

and many people go by in my life, I loved you... oh God.

Yo te quise aunque no quise

I loved you although I didn't want

que tú fueras para mi

you to be mine,

pero Dios tiene su forma de reír.

but God laughs in his own way.

Y más tarde pude ver

And later I could see

que hay maneras y maneras de querer.

there are ways and ways to love.

Porque existen mil maneras de querer.

'Cause there are a thousand ways to love.

Y ya sé lo que dirán.

And I know what they will say.

Que yo no fui capaz de hacerte sonreír,

That I wasn't able to make you smile,

que no eras para mí.

that you weren't for me.

Pero eso no es verdad,

But that's not true,

por eso te dedico esta canción para explicar.

that's why I dedicate you this song to explain.

Que yo te quise aunque no quise

That I loved you although I didn't want

que tú fueras para mi

you to be mine,

pero Dios tiene su forma de reír.

Y más tarde pude ver
