Te vas y no sé
You're leaving and I don't know
Explicar lo que siento aquí dentro en mi pecho
How to explain what I'm feeling inside my chest
Será que el amor
Could it be that love
Se me vuelve enemigo si no estás conmigo
Turns into an enemy if you're not with me?
Y sé que yo lo intenté y que perdoné
And I know that I tried and that I forgave
Puse mi alma y mi fe
I put in my soul and my faith
Hasta el fin di todo por ti
Until the end, I gave everything for you
Sólo por ti
Only for you
Te vas y no entiendo
You're leaving and I don't understand
Cómo fue que el amor se murió en el intento
How it was that love died in the attempt
Te vas y no puedo
You leave and I can't
Soportar el dolor, dime cómo lo enfrento, porque
Endure the pain, tell me how I face it, because
Si yo no fallé y supe entender
If I didn't fail and understood
Para poder seguir, esperaría por ti, si decides volver
To be able to continue, I would wait for you, if you decide to return
Y estoy otra vez
And I'm here again
Empezando de cero, intentando volver a vivir
Starting from scratch, trying to live again
Aunque sé
Even though I know
Que no me alcanza la vida para olvidar
That life isn't long enough for me to forget
Si tú no estás ya nada es igual
If you're not here, nothing is the same
Si pudiera contigo hablar
If I could talk to you
Una vez más, solo una más
Once more, just one more
Te vas y no entiendo
You're leaving and I don't understand
Como fue que el amor se murió en el intento
How did love die in the attempt
Te vas y no puedo
You're leaving and I can't
Soportar el dolor, dime cómo lo enfrento, porque
Bear the pain, tell me how to face it, because
Si yo no fallé y supe entender
If I didn't fail and I knew how to understand
Para poder seguir, esperaría por ti, si decides volver
To be able to move on, I'd wait for you, if you decide to return
Te vas y no entiendo
You're leaving and I don't understand
Cómo fue que el amor se murió en el intento
How did love die in the attempt
Te vas y no puedo
You're leaving and I can't
Soportar el dolor, dime cómo lo enfrento, porque
Enduring the pain, tell me how to face it, because
Si yo no fallé y supe entender
If I didn't fail and I knew how to understand
Para poder seguir, esperaría por ti
To be able to go on, I would wait for you
Y moriría por ti
And I would die for you
Y esperaría otra vez
And I would wait again
Una vida por ti
A lifetime for you
Si decides volver
If you decide to return
