Tanto tiempo disfrutamos de este amor
So much time we enjoyed this love
Nuestras almas se acercaron, tanto así
Our souls drew closer, so much so
Que yo guardo tu sabor
That I hold your flavor
Pero tú llevas también
But you also carry
Sabor a mí
Flavor of me
Si negaras mi presencia en tu vivir
If you denied my presence in your life
Bastaría con abrazarte y conversar
It would be enough to hold you and talk
Tanta vida yo te di
So much life I gave you
Que por fuerza llevas ya
That by force you already carry
Sabor a mí
Flavor of me
No pretendo ser tu dueña
I don’t intend to be your owner
No soy nada, yo no tengo vanidad
I am nothing, I have no vanity
De mi vida, doy lo bueno
From my life, I give the good.
Soy tan pobre, ¿qué otra cosa puedo dar?
I'm so poor, what else can I give?
Pasarán mas de mil años, muchos más
More than a thousand years will pass, many more
Yo no sé si tenga amor la eternidad
I don't know if eternity has love
Pero allá, tal como aquí
But there, just like here
En la boca llevarás
In your mouth, you will carry
Sabor a mí
Taste of me
No pretendo ser tu dueña
I don't intend to be your owner
No soy nada, yo no tengo vanidad
I am nothing, I have no vanity
De mi vida, doy lo bueno
Of my life, I give the good
Soy tan pobre, ¿qué otra cosa puedo dar?
I am so poor, what else can I give?
Pasarán mas de mil años, muchos más
A thousand years will pass, many more
Yo no se si tenga amor la eternidad
I don't know if eternity has love
Pero allá, tal como aquí
But there, just like here
En la boca llevarás
In your mouth, you'll carry
Sabor a mí
The taste of me
Sabor a mí
The taste of me
