Porque te fuistes, porque te marchastes
Because you left, because you walked away
Porque esta pena tu me dejastes
Because this pain you left me
Y ahora tengo que sufrir
And now I have to suffer
Al alejarte de mi
As you distance yourself from me
Si tu alejas mi corazon
If you take my heart away
Por dentro se van comsumiendo
Inside, it's being consumed
La alegria en mi seva muriendo
The joy in me is dying
Alcanzo yo pensar que no podre tenerte
I can only think that I won't be able to have you
Si tu te alejas las horas pasan
If you drift away, the hours pass
Y so sigo aqui sufiendo
And I’m still here suffering
Al pensar que con otro
Thinking that with someone else
Hicieras tu vida
You would build your life
Me doleria, me moriria
It would hurt me, I would die
Sit te marcharas, si te alejaras
If you walked away, if you distanced yourself
Desde niÑos aprendimos a querernos
Since we were kids, we learned to love each other
Desde niÑos aprendimos a adorarnos
Since we were kids, we learned to adore one another
En la escuela superior donde nos dimos tanto amor
In high school where we shared so much love
Y ahora tengo que sufrir al alejarte de me
And now I have to suffer as you pull away from me
Si tu alejas mi corazon
If you take my heart away
Por dentro se van comsumiendo
Inside, it's being consumed
La alegria en mi seva muriendo
The joy in me is dying
Alcanzo yo pensar que no podre tenerte
I can only think that I won't be able to have you
Si tu te alejas las horas pasan
If you drift away, the hours pass
Y so sigo aqui sufiendo
And I’m still here suffering
Al pensar que con otro
Thinking that with someone else
Hicieras tu vida
You would build your life
Me doleria, me moriria
It would hurt me, I would die
Si te marcharas, si te alejaras
If you walked away, if you distanced yourself
Si tu te alejas ya no valdria ni la pena que viniera
If you leave, it wouldn't even be worth it for me to come
Me estor ahogando en este mar de sufrmientos
I'm drowning in this sea of suffering
Si tu te alejas, si tu te alejas
If you drift away, if you drift away
Si tu te alejas de mi, me moriria (se repite
If you distance yourself from me, I would die
