"Estoy Enamorado" (English: I'm in Love) is a song originally recorded in Spanish by the Cuban-Colombian duo Donato & Estefano for their 1995 Mar y Adentro album.
Both the original song and its "Estou Apaixonado" version were major hits in Brazil, having been extensively played as a romantic theme for TV Globo's 1995-1996 prime-time telenovela "Explode Coração".
1996 João Paulo & Daniel version

2013 Thalía and Daniel version
