¡Ay!, muerte
Oh, death!
Ya no te me acerques
Don't come near me anymore
No se vale el miedo
Fear doesn't count
Que ya no lo puedo
Because I can't take it anymore
Ante lo vivido
In light of what we've lived
Contigo y conmigo
With you and with me
Confié en mi corazón
I trusted my heart
Con este triste amor
With this sad love
Seguro que me miras
I'm sure you're watching me
Desde tu gloria
From your glory
Porque en cada paso
Because with every step
Me acompaña tu querer
Your love walks beside me
Aunque soy fuerte
Even though I’m strong
Duele mucho perderte
It hurts so much to lose you
Yo nunca pensé que te fueras
I never thought you'd leave
Tan de repente
So suddenly
Tengo que llorar
I have to cry
Y tengo que ser fuerte, mujer
And I have to be strong, woman
Se dice fácil, pero otra cosa
It’s easy to say, but another thing
Es ser valiente
Is being brave
Tengo que llorar
I have to cry
Tengo que ser fuerte, mujer
I have to be strong, woman
Yo te quiero fuerte
I love you fiercely
Hay que ser valiente
One must be brave
¡Ay!, mi vida
Oh!, my life
No te vayas nunca
Never leave me
Que en mi sentimiento
Because in my feelings
Estás por siempre
You are forever
Sé que estás presente
I know you're here
Aunque mi corazón no entiende
Even though my heart doesn't understand
En esta vida el corazón no muere
In this life, the heart doesn't die
Seguro
For sure
Que el amor es inmortal
That love is immortal
Porque en cada paso
Because with every step
Me acompaña tu querer
Your affection walks with me
Yo me voy curando
I am healing
Con tu recuerdo
With your memory
Y así mi corazón
And so my heart
Yo lo remiendo
I stitch it back together
Tengo que llorar
I have to cry
Tengo que ser fuerte, mujer
I have to be strong, woman
Se dice fácil, pero otra cosa
It's easy to say, but another thing
Es ser valiente
Is to be brave
Tengo que llorar
I have to cry
Tengo que ser fuerte, mujer
I have to be strong, woman
Para que me cure
So I can heal
Voy a ser valiente, mujer
I'm going to be brave, woman
No puedes decaer
You can't let yourself down
