The song No Me Ames, by Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony was released in 1999 as the second single of Lopez’s On the 6 CD. As it had a limited release many think that Waiting for Tonight is the second single.
The song is a cover of an Italian song called Non Amarmi, by Aleandro Baldi and Francesca Alotta and talks about a man with a disability asking her lover not to love him out of pity.

| Dime porque lloras | Tell me, why are you crying? |
| De felicidad | Because I’m happy |
| Y porque te ahogas | And why are you so choked up? |
| Por la soledad | From loneliness |
| Di porque me tomas | And why are you squeezing |
| Fuerte así, mis manos | So tightly my hands? |
| Y tus pensamientos te van llevando | And your thoughts seem to be wandering? |
| Yo te quiero tanto | I love you so much |
| Y porque será | Why? |
| Loco testarudo | Don’t be so hard-headed |
| No lo dudes más | Stop doubting me |
| Aunque en el futuro haya un muro enorme | Although in the future there’s a large wall |
| Yo no tengo miedo | I’m not afraid |
| Quiero enamorarme | I want to fall in love |
| No me ames, porque pienses | Don’t love me because you think |
| Que parezco diferente | That I look different |
| Tú no piensas ques es lo justo | You don’t think it’s right |
| Ver pasar el tiempo juntos | For us to spend this time together |
| No me ames, que comprendo | Don’t love me because I know |
| La mentira que sería | What a lie it would be |
| Si tu amor merezco | If I deserve your love |
| No me ames, mas quédate otra dia | Don’t love me, but stay another day |
| No me ames, porque estoy perdido | Don’t love me because I’m lost |
| Porque cambie el mundo | Because the world is changing |
| porques es el destino | because it’s fate |
| Porque no se puede, somos un espejo | Because we can’t, we’re a mirror |
| Y tú así serías lo que yo de mí reflejo | And you would be what I reflect of me |
| No me ames, para estar muriendo | Don’t love me to be dying |
| Dentro de una guerra llena de arrepentimientos | Inside a war full of regrets |
| No me ames, para estar en tierra | Don’t love me to be on the ground |
| Quiero alzar el vuelo | I want to take off |
| Con tu gran amor por el azul del cielo | With your big love over the blue sky |
| No sé que decirte | I don’t know what to say |
| Esa es la verdad | That’s the truth |
| Si la gente quiere, sabe lastimar | If people want to want to hurt us, they will |
| Tú y yo partiremos | You and I will depart |
| ellos no se mueven | They don’t move |
| Pero en este cielo sola no me dejes | But in this world don’t leave me alone |
| No me dejes, no me dejes | Don’t leave me, don’t leave me |
| No me eschuches, si te digo “no me ames” | Don’t listen when I ask you not to love me |
| No me dejes, no desarmes | Don’t leave me, don’t break my heart |
| Mi corazón con ese “no me ames” | With that “don’t love me” |
| No me ames, to lo ruego | Don’t love me, I beg you |
| Mi amargura, déjame | My bitterness, leave me |
| Sabes bien, que no puedo | You know full well that I can’t |
| Que es inútil, que siempre te amaré | That it’s useless, that I will always love you |
| No me ames | Don’t love me |
| Pues te haré sufrir | Because I’ll make you suffer |
| Con este corazón | With this heart |
| Que se llenó de mil inviernos | That’s filled with a thousand winters |
| No me ames | Don’t love me |
| Para así olvidarte | Don’t love me so you can forget |
| De tus días grises | Your gray days |
| Quiero que me ames solo por amarme | I want you to love me only for loving me |
| No me ames, tú y yo volaremos | Don’t love me, you and I will fly |
| Uno con el otro y | One with the other |
| Y seguiremos siempre juntos | And we’ll always be together |
| Este amor es como el sol | This love is like the sun |
| Que sale tras de la tormenta | That comes out after a storm |
| Como dos cometas en la misma estela | Like two comets in the same tail |
| No me ames | Don’t love me… |

¡Hola Adir!
Es una buena canción, pero la que me gusta más de este dúo es ´Te voy a querer´
