Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Yo sé muy bien que un día, yo despertaré
I know very well that one day, I will wake up
Y para mí, el sol no brillará
And for me, the sun will not shine
El amor que te di, no será ya tu amor
The love I gave you will no longer be your love
Por mi bien, por mi bien
For my sake, for my sake
Y sin dolor ni llanto, yo me alejaré
And without pain or tears, I will walk away
Derecho iré, sin ganas de volver
I'll go straight, with no desire to return
Sin mirar para atrás, yo quisiera borrar
Without looking back, I would like to erase
Tu mirar, tu besar y tu voz, mi amor
Your gaze, your kiss, and your voice, my love
Y por tanto, yo no te dejaré de amar
And for that reason, I will not stop loving you
Y por tanto, yo no te dejaré de amar
And therefore, I will not stop loving you
Y por tanto, yo no te dejaré de amar
And therefore, I will not stop loving you
Y por tanto, te dejaré
And therefore, I will let you go
Sin lágrimas y sin gritar
Without tears and without shouting
Más tremblará el fondo de mi piel
Yet the depths of my skin will tremble
Me veré libre, al fin, y el reposo hallaré
I will finally see myself free, and find my rest
Por mi bien, por mi bien
For my own good, for my own good
Yo me iré a otro cielo y país
I will go to another sky and country
Para olvidar tu frialdad cruel
To forget your cruel coldness
Y mis manos que están hoy repletas de ti
And my hands that are today filled with you
Buscarán, soñarán y tendrán otro amor
They will seek, they will dream, and they will have another love
Y por tanto, yo no te dejaré de amar
And so, I will not stop loving you
Y por tanto, yo no te dejaré de amar
And so, I will not stop loving you
Y por tanto, yo no te dejaré de amar
And so, I will not stop loving you
Y por tanto
And so
Será mejor que pueda una razón tener
It would be better if I could have a reason
Que ahogue en mí, mis ansias de querer
That drowns in me, my desires to love
Y encontrar libertad para mi corazón
And find freedom for my heart
Por mi bien, por mi bien
For my sake, for my sake
Para soñar a otros brazos buscaré
To dream, to other arms I will seek
Y solo así, tu nombre olvidare
And only then, will I forget your name
Más tú nunca podrás a mi lado volver
But you will never be able to return to my side
Y mi mal, mi temor y el dolor quedarán
And my pain, my fear, and the hurt will remain
Y por tanto, yo no te dejaré de amar
And for that, I will not stop loving you
Y por tanto, yo no te dejaré de amar
And for that, I will not stop loving you
Y por tanto, por tanto, te dejaré de amar
And for that, for that, I will stop loving you
Y por tanto, yo no te dejaré de amar
And for that, I will not stop loving you
