Nadie te ha querido como yo
No one has loved you like I do
Nadie te ha ofrecido tanto amor
No one has offered you so much love
Nadie te ha enseñado de la vida más que yo
No one has taught you about life more than I have
Nadie mi amor, buscó tu amor con tanto amor
Not my love, sought your love with such love
Un atardecer llegaste a mí
One sunset you arrived to me
Como primavera en mi jardín
Like spring in my garden
A la luz de candilejas yo me enamoré
In the light of candlelight, I fell in love
Era tu amor tal como yo lo imaginé
Your love was just as I imagined it would be
Cada vez que te miraba no podía ver
Every time I looked at you, I couldn't see
En tu mirar, qué tanto amor iba a perder
In your gaze, how much love I was going to lose
Y hoy te vas de mí para olvidar
And today you leave me to forget
¿Qué será de ti y a dónde irás?
What will become of you and where will you go?
Más qué yo, nadie mi amor
But no one loves me like I do, my love
Busco tu amor con tanto amor
I seek your love with so much love
Y aunque sé que nunca volverás
And even though I know you'll never return
Yo te esperaré una eternidad
I will wait for you an eternity
Y si alguna vez
And if someday
Te acuerdas y quieres volver
You remember and want to come back
Aquí estaré
I will be here
Aquí mi amor
Here, my love
Igual que ayer
Just like yesterday
