En una tarde de lluvia se llevo el amor
On a rainy afternoon, love was taken away
y con todo su equipaje se fue mi ilusion
and with all its baggage, my hope departed
un pasado cruel me dio la misma indicacion
a cruel past gave me the same indication
y socorrer tras de su miedo
and to shelter behind its fear
no pudo aceptar que esta vez estaba enamorada
couldn't accept that this time I was in love
y que yo te necesitaba yo le amaba
and that I needed you, I loved him
asi son las cosas del amor
that's how the things of love are
te pueden sorprender hasta mover
they can surprise you, even shake
el cielo y la tierra a tu vida
the sky and the earth in your life
fui buscando una explicacion y llegue
I was searching for an explanation and arrived
a la conclusion que para apreciar
to the conclusion that to appreciate
la felicidad hay que saber de soledad
happiness you must know loneliness
no pudo aceptar que esta vez estaba enamorada
she couldn't accept that this time she was in love
y que yo te necesitaba yo le amaba
and that I needed you, I loved him
asi son las cosas del amor
that's just how love works
te pueden sorprender hasta mover
it can surprise you, even move
el cielo y la tierra a tu vida
the heavens and the earth in your life
fui buscando una explicacion y llegue
I was searching for an explanation and I arrived
a la conclusion que para apreciar
to the conclusion that to appreciate
la felicidad hay que saber de soledad
happiness you must know loneliness
asi son las cosas del amor...
this is how love goes...
que dificil fue aceptar esta separacion
how hard it was to accept this separation
cuando ella me dijo adios aunque estaba enamorada
when she said goodbye even though she was in love
asi son las cosas del amor...
this is how love goes...
se fue corriendo tras su miedo y se olvido
she ran away, chased by her fears and forgot
que me amaba, que yo le necesitaba
that she loved me, that I needed her
asi son las cosas del amor...
this is how love goes...
te pueden sorprender... asi son...
it can catch you off guard... this is how it is...
te mueven la tierra y el cielo
it shakes the earth and the sky
y a veces te dan desconsuelo
and sometimes it leaves you in despair
asi son las cosas del amor...
that's just how love goes...
esto pienso yo... asi son...
this is what I think... that's how it is...
el que no aprecie la felicidad
the one who doesn't cherish happiness
es por que no sabe de soledad
it's because they don't know about loneliness
que triste estoy mamita sin ti!!!
how sad I am, mama, without you!!!
asi son las cosas del amor...
that's just how love goes...
y esta vez me duele que sean como son
and this time it hurts that they're just like this
asi son las cosas del amor...
that's just how love goes...
por que se ha ido sin una explicacion
why did they leave without an explanation?
asi son las cosas del amor...
that's just how love goes...
se llevo en su equipaje mi alma y mi ilusion
she took my soul and my dreams in her luggage
asi son las cosas del amor...
that's how love goes...
desde esa tarde lluviosa yo ya no veo el sol
since that rainy afternoon, I no longer see the sun
asi son las cosas del amor...
that's how love goes...
me ha dejado una huella de dolor
she has left me a mark of pain
asi son las cosas del amor...
that's how love goes...
extraño lo nuestro su aroma y su calor
I miss what we had, its scent and its warmth
asi son las cosas del amor...
that's how love goes...
pero asi son las cosas asi son.
but that's just how things are, that's how they are.
asi son las cosas del amor...
that's how love goes...
algun dia entendera lo que es amor
One day he will understand what love is
asi son las cosas...!!!
That's just how things are...!!!
