  1. Nos fallaron dos palabras, y sabernos perdonar

    Two words failed us, and knowing how to forgive each other

  2. que facil era haber dicho... lo siento,

    how easy it would have been to say... I'm sorry,

  3. pero nos sobraba orgullo y nos faltaba humildad

    but we had too much pride and lacked humility

  4. y cuesta tanto esfuerzo en ser el primero en hablar,

    and it takes so much effort to be the first to speak up,

  5. que cuando uno se atreve es tarde ya, tarde ya.

    that when someone finally dares, it's already too late, too late.

  6. 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

  7. y recuperar el tiempo que se me escapo,

    and regain the time that slipped away from me,

  8. y decir lo siento una y otra vez,

    and say I'm sorry again and again,

  9. 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

  10. Volverte a ver, hoy daria cualquier cosa

    To see you again, today I would give anything

  11. por volverte a ver

    to see you again

  12. y aprendí a no querer tanto y a querer mejor,

    and I learned to want less and to love better,

  13. y decir lo siento amor, perdoname,

    and to say I'm sorry, love, forgive me,

  14. 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

  15. Nos fallaron dos palabras... y sabernos perdonar

    We failed with two words... and knowing how to forgive each other

  16. que facil era haber dicho lo siento,

    how easy it was to say I'm sorry,

  17. son dos sencillas palabras faciles de pronunciar

    they're two simple words easy to pronounce

  18. quien las dice primero, suele ser quien ama mas

    whoever says them first, tends to love more

  19. y amar es darlo todo, sin pedir y esperar

    and to love is to give everything, without asking or expecting

  20. 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

  21. y recuperar el tiempo que se me escapo,

    and to regain the time that slipped away from me,

  22. y decir lo siento una y otra vez,

    and to say I'm sorry over and over again,

  23. 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

  24. Volverte a ver, hoy daria cualquier cosa

    To see you again, today I would give anything

  25. por volverte a ver

    to see you again

  26. y aprendí a no querer tanto y a querer mejor,
