Si lo sucedido pasa
If what happened happens
Pero nunca se olvida
But it's never forgotten
El bien que se recibe
The good that we receive
Mucho menos el mal
Much less the bad
Y puede que con el tiempo
And maybe over time
Cicatrice tu herida
Your wound will heal
Pero siempre nos queda
But what remains always
Recuerdo en la señal
Is the memory in the sign
Y por la señal de la Santa Cruz
And by the sign of the Holy Cross
Que ya te perdone
May you be forgiven already
Te perdone porque también amé
I forgave you because I loved too
Igual que amo Jesús
Just like I love Jesus
Era imposible ser distinto, no lo fui
It was impossible to be different, I wasn't
Hoy soy feliz, pues perdone
Today I'm happy, for I forgave
Por la Santa Cruz
For the Holy Cross
Si lo sucedido pasa
If what happened passes
Pero nunca se olvida
But is never forgotten
El bien que se recibe
The good that is received
Mucho menos el mal
Much less the bad
Y puede que con el tiempo
And it may be that with time
Cicatrice tu herida
You healed your wound
Pero siempre nos queda
But we still have left
Recuerdo en la señal
A memory in the sign
Y por la señal de la Santa Cruz
And by the sign of the Holy Cross
Que ya te perdone
That I forgave you
Te perdone porque también amé
I forgave you because I also loved
Igual que amo Jesús
Just as I love Jesus
Era imposible ser distinto, no lo fui
It was impossible to be different, I wasn't
Hoy soy feliz, pues perdone
Today I am happy, for I forgave
Por la Santa Cruz
By the Holy Cross

About this song
Firmly fixed in the Latin music firmament as "El Sonero Mayor" (The Greatest Singer), Ismael Rivera was blessed with a gloriously husky voice, which he honed into a unique improvisational instrument.
