En la oscuridad verás la luz
In the darkness you'll see the light
Que a mí me iluminaba
That used to illuminate me
Yo sólo me reía
I only laughed
Y ahí tú me besabas
And there you kissed me
El destino nos unió
Destiny brought us together
Mas yo no supe ver
But I couldn't see
Tú me correspondías
You felt the same way for me
Y no supe qué hacer
And I didn't know what to do
Me arrepiento, mi amor
I regret it, my love
Debo reconocer
I must admit
Me arrepiento, mi amor
I regret it, my love
Yo no soy así, oh-oh
I'm not like that, oh-oh
En la oscuridad verás la luz
In the darkness you'll see the light
Que a mí me iluminaba
That used to illuminate me
Yo sólo me reía
I only laughed
Y ahí tú me besabas
And there you kissed me
El destino nos unió
Destiny brought us together
Mas yo no supe ver
But I couldn't see
Tú me correspondías
You felt the same way for me
Y no supe qué hacer
And I didn't know what to do
(Me arrepiento, mi amor
(I regret it, my love
Debo reconocer)
I must admit)
De tu ternura
Of your tenderness
Y de tu sencillez
And of your simplicity
(Me arrepiento, mi amor
(I regret it, my love
Yo no soy así)
I'm not like that)
Y reconozco
And I acknowledge
Que me muero por ti
That I’m dying for you
(Me arrepiento, mi amor
(I regret it, my love
Debo reconocer)
I must admit)
Porque no debo
Because I shouldn't
Porque no puedo
Because I can't
No puedo vivir
I can't live
(Me arrepiento, mi amor
(I regret it, my love
Yo no soy así)
I'm not like that)
Sin apreciar esa ternura
Without appreciating that tenderness
Y no cabe duda de tu sentir
And there's no doubt about your feelings
(Me arrepiento, mi amor
(I regret it, my love
Debo reconocer)
I must admit)
Que me querías
That you loved me
Y no supe entender
And I couldn't understand
(Me arrepiento, mi amor)
(I regret it, my love)
Yo no soy así
I'm not like that
Y te prometo
And I promise you
Que seré para ti
That I will be for you
(Me arrepiento, mi amor)
(I regret it, my love)
Perdóname
Forgive me
(Yo no soy así)
(I'm not like that)
Perdóname
Forgive me
Que desde ahora en adelante
That from now on
Yo te valoraré
I will value you
(Me arrepiento, mi amor
(I regret it, my love
Yo no soy así)
I'm not like that)
Y seguiré toda la vida
And I will love you my whole life
Vida mía
My love
Amándote
Loving you
