Si es que te vas
If you are leaving
Solo te pido que no vuelvas nunca más
I only ask you not to come back ever again
Y no alimentes la esperanza de encontrar
And not to feed the hope of finding
Viejos caminos que ya nunca he de pasar
Old paths that I'll never traverse again
Si es que te vas
If you are leaving
Habrá un "te quiero"
There will be a 'I love you'
Ya lo sé
I already know
De soledad
Of solitude
No habrá un recuerdo amargo
There won't be a bitter memory
En cada nuevo despertar
In every new awakening
Y entre mis manos
And between my hands
Las caricias duermen ya
The caresses are already asleep
Si es que te vas
If you are leaving
No habrá un reproche que te impida realizar
There won't be a reproach to stop you from realizing
La voluntad omnipotente de encontrar
The omnipotent will to find
Aquel destino que marcó tu corazón
That destiny that marked your heart
Por eso, si es que te vas
That's why, if you are leaving
No te preocupes, no hay condena
Don't worry, there is no condemnation
Si hay alguien más
If there is someone else
Podrás decirlo aunque me duela
You can say it even if it hurts me
Si esa es la verdad
If that is the truth
Solo te pido que no vuelvas más
I only ask you not to come back again
Si es que te vas
If you are leaving
Voy a abrazarte con la angustia del que da
I will embrace you with the anguish of one who gives
Todo por nada y es más triste que llorar
Everything for nothing and it's sadder than crying
Ya ves, prefiero abrir mis brazos
You see, I prefer to open my arms
Verte andar
To see you walk
Si es que te vas
If you are leaving
Caen las lágrimas rodándome en la piel
Tears fall rolling on my skin
El frío intenso de saber que pronto no estarás
The intense cold of knowing that soon you won't be here
Para el amor de nuestro mundo
For the love of our world
Nunca más
Never again
Si es que te vas
If you are leaving
No habrá un reproche que te impida realizar
There won't be a reproach to stop you from realizing
La voluntad omnipotente de encontrar
The omnipotent will to find
Aquel destino que marcó tu corazón
That destiny that marked your heart
Por eso, si es que te vas
That's why, if you are leaving
No te preocupes, no hay condena
Don't worry, there is no condemnation
Si hay alguien más
If there is someone else
Podrás decirlo aunque me duela
You can say it even if it hurts me
Si esa es la verdad
If that is the truth
Solo te pido que no vuelvas más
I only ask you not to come back again
Por si te sirve
Just in case it helps
Yo te quiero
I love you
Igual
Likewise
