De tanto correr por la vida sin freno
From running through life without brakes so much,
Me olvidé que la vida se vive un momento
I forgot that life is lived in a moment.
De tanto querer ser en todo el primero
From wanting to be the best at everything so much,
Me olvidé de vivir
I forgot to live.
Los detalles pequeños

De tanto jugar con los sentimientos
From playing so much with feelings,
Viviendo de aplausos envueltos en sueños
Living on applause wrapped in dreams.
De tanto gritar mis canciones al viento
From shouting my songs to the wind so much,
Ya no soy como ayer
I am not like I was yesterday.
Ya no sé lo que siento
I no longer know what I feel.
Me olvidé de vivir

Me olvidé de vivir

Me olvidé de vivir

De tanto cantarle al amor y la vida
From singing so much to love and life
Me quedé sin amor una noche de un día
I ended up without love one night of a day
De tanto jugar con quien yo más quería
From playing so much with whom I loved the most
Perdí, sin querer
I lost, unintentionally
Lo mejor que tenía

De tanto ocultar la verdad con mentiras

Me engañé sin saber que era yo quien perdía
I deceived myself not knowing it was I who was losing
De tanto esperar, yo que nunca ofrecía
After waiting so long, I who never gave anything
Hoy me toca llorar

Yo que siempre reía

De tanto correr por ganar tiempo al tiempo

Queriendo robarle a mis noches el sueño

De tantos fracasos, de tantos intentos

Cada día algo nuevo

De tanto jugar con los sentimientos

Viviendo de aplausos envueltos en sueños
Living off applause wrapped in dreams
De tanto gritar mis canciones al viento
From shouting my songs to the wind
Ya no soy como ayer

Ya no sé lo que siento

Me olvidé de vivir
I forgot how to live
Me olvidé de vivir
I forgot how to live
Me olvidé de vivir
I forgot to live
Me olvidé de vivir
I forgot to live
Me olvidé de vivir
