Me duele mucho perderte
It hurts me a lot to lose you
Pero me voy a aguantar
But I'm going to hold on
Y aunque se habran mil heridas
And even if a thousand wounds open
Te lo juro por mi vida
I swear on my life
Qué no te vuelvo a buscar
That I won't come looking for you again
Igual que a la mala yerba
Just like the bad weeds
Que hay que arrancar de raíz
That need to be pulled out by the roots
Voy a arrancarme del alma
I'm going to tear from my soul
El amor y la esperanza
The love and the hope
Qué habia puesto yo en tí
That I had placed in you
Te olvidaré
I will forget you
Y no es desearte ningun mal
And it's not wishing you any harm
Pero he de ver
But I have to see
El día que tengas que llorar
The day you have to cry
Y no halla quién
And there’s no one
Para abrigarte con ternura
To embrace you with tenderness
Y consolarte en tu amargura
And comfort you in your bitterness
Vas a pagar lo que lloré
You will pay for what I cried
Te olvidaré
I will forget you
Porque es injusto que yo siga
Because it's unfair that I keep on
Amándote
Loving you
Si no soy nadie en tú vida
If I'm nobody in your life
Ni lo seré
Nor will I be
Será mejor abrir los ojos
It’s better to open my eyes
Y despertar de un sueño tonto
And wake from a foolish dream
Que solo me hace padecer
That only brings me pain
Te olvidaré
I will forget you
Igual que a la mala yerba
Just like the bad weeds
Qué hay que arrancar de raíz
That must be pulled from the root
Voy a arrancarme del alma
I’m going to tear you from my soul
El amor y la esperanza
Love and hope
Que habia puesto yo en tí
That I had placed in you
Te olvidaré
I will forget you
Y no es desearte ningun mal
And it’s not wishing you any harm
Pero he ver
But I will see
El día que tengas que llorar
The day you have to cry
Y no halla quién
And there won’t be anyone
Para abrigarte con ternura
To wrap you in tenderness
Y consolarte en tú amargura
And comfort you in your bitterness
Vas a pagar lo que lloré
You will pay for the tears I shed
Te olvidaré
I will forget you
Porque es injusto que yo siga
Because it's unfair that I keep
Amándote
Loving you
Si no soy nadie en tú vida
If I'm nobody in your life
Ni lo seré
Nor will I be
Será mejor abrir los ojos
It will be better to open my eyes
Y despertar de un sueño tonto
And awaken from this foolish dream
Qué solo me hace padecer
That only makes me suffer
Te olvidaré
I will forget you
Y no es desearte ningun mal
And it's not wishing you any harm
Pero he ver
But I will see
El día que tengas que llorar
The day you have to cry
Y no halla quién
And there's no one
Para abrigarte con ternura
To hold you gently
Y consolarte en tú amargura
And comfort you in your bitterness
Vas a pagar lo que lloré
You will pay for what I cried
Te olvidaré
I will forget you
