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
Profundamente herida, confundida, ya vencida, sin poder decir palabras
Deeply hurt, confused, already defeated, unable to say the words
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
Y sin poder tener ese placer yo sólo sé que moriré si no te tengo.
And unable to have that pleasure, I only know I'll die if I don't have you.
Hastiada, represada, indignada, ya cansada, pero al fin ya convencida
Fed up, held back, indignant, already tired, but finally convinced
Que debo comenzar a valorar la nueva vida que me espera
That I must begin to cherish the new life that awaits me
Porque yo sé 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
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.
Ahora sé que valgo más de lo que me hiciste sentir,
Now I know that I am worth more than what you made me feel,
Que no hay razón para callar, lo que se siente en realidad
That there's no reason to silence what is truly felt
Al fin me pude liberar completamente, con dignidad...
At last I have been able to completely free myself, with dignity...
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
A quien me quiera de verdad
To whoever truly loves me
Ya me cansé de ser la tonta que ocultabas
I am tired of being the fool you hid
En tu prisión...
In your prison...
Y ahora sé que valgo más de lo que me hiciste sentir,
And now I know that I am worth more than what you made me feel,
Que no hay razón para callar, lo que se siente en realidad
That there's no reason to silence what is truly felt
Al fin me pude liberar completamente, con dignidad...
At last I have been able to completely free myself, with dignity...
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
A quien me quiera de verdad
To whoever truly loves me
Ya me cansé de ser la tonta que ocultabas
I am tired of being the fool you hid
En tu prisión...
In your prison...
