¿Por Qué Dejaste Que Te Amara? Lyrics in English El Bebeto

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song ¿Por Qué Dejaste Que Te Amara? by El Bebeto from Spanish to English.
Tenías que aparecer, tenía que suceder
You had to appear, it had to happen
Amarte sin hacer pregunta alguna y después de sentir
To love you without asking any questions and after feeling
Tanto amor me dijeras adiós, y te fueras así
So much love, you would tell me goodbye, and you would leave like that
Después de todo lo que hice para estar junto a ti
After everything I did to be with you
Por qué dejaste que te amara, como nunca había amado
Why did you let me love you, like I had never loved
Por qué dejaste que durmiera en tus brazos enredado
Why did you let me sleep tangled in your arms
Por qué dejaste que te hiciera el amor a mi manera
Why did you let me make love to you my way
Por qué dijiste que dijera, que te había encontrado
Why did you say I should say, that I had found you
Por qué jugar de esta manera si yo estaba ilusionado
Why play this way if I was so hopeful
Por qué dejaste que pasara, por qué dejaste que te amara
Why did you let it happen, why did you let me love you
Como nunca había amado, como nunca había amado
Like I had never loved, like I had never loved
Por qué no me corriste de tu vida cuando miraste mis ojos
Why didn't you kick me out of your life when you looked into my eyes
Y me sentiste enamorado
And you felt me in love
Si me hubieras despertado de este sueño yo, yo
If you had woken me from this dream I, I
Yo me había alejado
I would have walked away
Por qué dejaste que te amara, como nunca había amado
Why did you let me love you, like I had never loved
Por qué dejaste que durmiera en tus brazos enredado
Why did you let me sleep tangled in your arms
Por qué dejaste que te hiciera el amor a mi manera
Why did you let me make love to you my way
Por qué dijiste que dijera, que te había encontrado
Why did you say I should say, that I had found you
Por qué jugar de esta manera si yo estaba ilusionado
Why play this way if I was so hopeful
Por qué dejaste que pasara, por qué dejaste que te amara
Why did you let it happen, why did you let me love you
Como nunca había amado, como nunca había amado
Like I had never loved, like I had never loved
Por qué no me corriste de tu vida cuando miraste mis ojos
Why didn't you kick me out of your life when you looked into my eyes
Y me sentiste enamorado
And you felt me in love
Si me hubieras despertado de este sueño yo, yo
If you had woken me from this dream I, I
Yo me había alejado
I would have walked away

ilusionadohopeful / excited / deluded

Ilusionado is a rich Spanish word that can mean 'hopeful' or 'excited,' but also carries a nuance of being 'deluded' or 'under an illusion.'

In this song, the singer uses it to express his deep emotional investment, asking, "¿Por qué jugar de esta manera si yo estaba ilusionado?" (Why play this way if I was hopeful/deluded?). It perfectly captures the pain of having his hopes dashed, implying he was perhaps too optimistic or even fooled by the situation.
