No Me Ames (Ballad Version) Lyrics
[Verso 1: Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony]
Dime por qué lloras (De felicidad)
¿Y por qué te ahogas? (Por la soledad)
Di por qué me tomas fuerte así mis manos
Y tus pensamientos te van llevando
[Pre-Coro: Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony]
Yo te quiero tanto (¿Y por qué sera?)
Loco testarudo, no lo dudes más
Aunque en el futuro haya un muro enorme
Yo no tengo miedo, quiero enamorarme
[Coro: Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony]
No me ames porque pienses que parezco diferente
Tú no piensas que es lo justo ver pasar el tiempo juntos
No me ames, que comprendo la mentira que sería
Si tu amor no merezco, no me ames, mas quédate otro día
[Verso 2: Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony, Ambos]
No me ames, porque estoy perdido
Porque cambié el mundo, porque es el destino
Porque no se puede, somos un espejo
Y tú así serías lo que yo de mi reflejo
No me ames para estar muriendo
Dentro de una guerra llena de arrepentimientos
No me ames para estar en tierra, quiero alzar el vuelo
Con tu gran amor por el azul del cielo
No sé qué decirte, esa la verdad
Si la gente quiere, sabe lastimar
Tú y yo partiremos, ellos no se mueven
Pero en este cielo sola no me dejes
No me dejes, no me dejes
No me escuches si te digo: "No me ames"
No me dejes, no desarmes mi corazón con ese "no me ames"
No me ames, te lo ruego, mi amargura déjame
Sabes bien que no puedo, que es inútil, que siempre te amaré
[Coro: Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony, Ambos]
No me ames, pues te haré sufrir
Con este corazón que se llenó de mil inviernos
No me ames para así olvidarte de tus días grises
Quiero que me ames solo por amarme
No me ames, tú y yo volaremos
Uno con el otro y seguiremos siempre juntos
Este amor es como el sol que sale tras de la tormenta
Como dos cometas en la misma estela
[Outro: Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony]
No me ames
No, no me ames
No me ames
Oh, oh
Uh, uh-uh-uh

Cory had just worked with Marc, and Marc and I had just met. Cory was like, “You and Marc should do a record together, let’s call him and see if he wants to do it.” He came by the studio and we played him some of the stuff we were doing, he was like, “okay, okay,” and I was such a huge fan of his music in Spanish, and I was like, “Maybe we should do something in Spanish, I just love your music.” He was like “let me think about it.” He left the studio, and literally five minutes after he left, he called and said, “I have the song for us, it’s an old Italian song called ‘Non Amarmi’ – and we can translate it into Spanish, do it as a ballad and do it as a salsa record. Tommy and Cory, they really gave me the confidence. Even meeting Marc on that first album, and me looking up to him so much as a singer, and him saying, "You have a beautiful voice, don’t be scared”; they could tell I was insecure but there was something there and they wanted to bring it out in me. And we did through the process of making the album.
