Length
4:05
  1. Atada, subyugada, enajenada con la pena de sentir que no me amas

    Bound, subdued, alienated by the pain of feeling that you don't love me

  2. Profundamente herida, confundida, ya vencida, sin poder decir palabras

    Deeply hurt, confused, already defeated, unable to say the words

  3. Completamente sola con la sombra de un amor que no me da lo que yo quiero

    Completely alone with the shadow of a love that doesn't give me what I want

  4. Y sin poder tener ese placer yo sólo que moriré si no te tengo.

    And unable to have that pleasure, I only know I'll die if I don't have you.

  5. Hastiada, represada, indignada, ya cansada, pero al fin ya convencida

    Fed up, held back, indignant, already tired, but finally convinced

  6. Que debo comenzar a valorar la nueva vida que me espera

    That I must begin to cherish the new life that awaits me

  7. Porque yo que al fin podré reír y sonreír al prescindir de tu cariño

    Because I know that at last I will be able to laugh and smile, living without your love

  8. Que solo me ha causado desacato y el enfado, pero ya ha terminado.

    Which only brought me discontent and anger, but it’s finally over.

  9. Ahora que valgo más de lo que me hiciste sentir,

    Now I know that I am worth more than what you made me feel,

  10. Que no hay razón para callar, lo que se siente en realidad

    That there's no reason to silence what is truly felt

  11. Al fin me pude liberar completamente, con dignidad...

    At last I have been able to completely free myself, with dignity...

  12. Y ya no habrá razón que me pueda impedir vivir al fin con libertad de dar amor

    And there will no longer be a reason to stop me from living finally with the freedom to give love

  13. A quien me quiera de verdad

    To whoever truly loves me

  14. Ya me cansé de ser la tonta que ocultabas

    I am tired of being the fool you hid

  15. En tu prisión...

    In your prison...

  16. Y ahora que valgo más de lo que me hiciste sentir,

    And now I know that I am worth more than what you made me feel,

  17. Que no hay razón para callar, lo que se siente en realidad

    That there's no reason to silence what is truly felt

  18. Al fin me pude liberar completamente, con dignidad...

    At last I have been able to completely free myself, with dignity...

  19. Y ya no habrá razón que me pueda impedir vivir al fin con libertad de dar amor

    And there will no longer be a reason to stop me from living finally with the freedom to give love

  20. A quien me quiera de verdad

    To whoever truly loves me

  21. Ya me cansé de ser la tonta que ocultabas

    I am tired of being the fool you hid

  22. En tu prisión...

    In your prison...
