Nos fallaron dos palabras, y sabernos perdonar
Two words failed us, and knowing how to forgive each other
que facil era haber dicho... lo siento,
how easy it would have been to say... I'm sorry,
pero nos sobraba orgullo y nos faltaba humildad
but we had too much pride and lacked humility
y cuesta tanto esfuerzo en ser el primero en hablar,
and it takes so much effort to be the first to speak up,
que cuando uno se atreve es tarde ya, tarde ya.
that when someone finally dares, it's already too late, too late.
Volverte a ver, hoy daría media vida por volverte a ver
To see you again, today I'd give half my life to see you again
y recuperar el tiempo que se me escapo,
and regain the time that slipped away from me,
y decir lo siento una y otra vez,
and say I'm sorry again and again,
no me sirve la razón si tu no estas, si no estas
reason doesn't matter if you're not here, if you're not here
Volverte a ver, hoy daria cualquier cosa
To see you again, today I would give anything
por volverte a ver
to see you again
y aprendí a no querer tanto y a querer mejor,
and I learned to want less and to love better,
y decir lo siento amor, perdoname,
and to say I'm sorry, love, forgive me,
no me sirve la razon si tu no estas, si no estas aqui
reason means nothing if you're not here, if you're not here
Nos fallaron dos palabras... y sabernos perdonar
We failed with two words... and knowing how to forgive each other
que facil era haber dicho lo siento,
how easy it was to say I'm sorry,
son dos sencillas palabras faciles de pronunciar
they're two simple words easy to pronounce
quien las dice primero, suele ser quien ama mas
whoever says them first, tends to love more
y amar es darlo todo, sin pedir y esperar
and to love is to give everything, without asking or expecting
Volverte a ver, hoy daría media vida por volverte a ver
To see you again, today I would give half my life to see you again
y recuperar el tiempo que se me escapo,
and to regain the time that slipped away from me,
y decir lo siento una y otra vez,
and to say I'm sorry over and over again,
no me sirve la razón si tu no estas, si no estas
reason doesn't matter if you're not here, if you're not here
Volverte a ver, hoy daria cualquier cosa
To see you again, today I would give anything
por volverte a ver
to see you again
y aprendí a no querer tanto y a querer mejor,
and I learned not to love so much and to love better,
y decir lo siento amor, perdoname,
and to say I'm sorry, love, forgive me,
no me sirve la razon si tu no estas, si no estas aqui
reason doesn't matter if you're not here, if you're not here
