Qué triste fue decirnos adiós
How sad it was to say goodbye to each other
Cuando nos adorábamos más
When we adored each other the most
Hasta la golondrina emigró
Even the swallows have flown away
Presagiando el final
Foretelling the end
Qué triste luce todo sin ti
How sad everything looks without you
Los mares de las playas se van
The seas of the beaches are receding
Se tiñen los colores de gris
The colors are dyed gray
Hoy todo es soledad
Today, everything is loneliness
No sé si vuelva a verte después
I don't know if I'll see you again after this
No sé qué de mi vida será
I don't know what will become of my life
Sin el lucero azul de tu ser
Without the blue star of your being
Que no me alumbra ya
That no longer lights my way
Hoy quiero saborear mi dolor
Today I want to savor my pain
No pido compasión ni piedad
I don't ask for compassion or pity
La historia de este amor se escribió
The story of this love was written
Para la eternidad
For eternity
Que triste todos dicen que soy
How sad, they all say I am
Que siempre estoy hablando de ti
That I'm always talking about you
No saben que pensando en tu amor
They don't know that thinking of your love
En tu amor
In your love
¡He podido ayudarme a vivir!
I've managed to help myself live!
¡He podido ayudarme a vivir!
I've managed to help myself live!
¡Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh!
¡Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Hoy quiero saborear mi dolor
Today I want to savor my pain
No pido compasión ni piedad
I don't ask for compassion or pity
La historia de este amor se escribió
The story of this love was written
Para la eternidad
For eternity
Que triste todos dicen que soy
How sad everyone says I am
Que siempre estoy hablando de ti
That I'm always talking about you
No saben que pensando en tu amor
They don't know that thinking of your love
En tu amor
Of your love
¡He podido ayudarme a vivir!
I've been able to help myself to live!
¡He podido ayudarme a vivir!
I've been able to help myself to live!
