Hay que aceptarlo
We have to accept it
No somos los de antes
We are not who we used to be
El reconciliarnos una y mil veces
Reconciling a thousand times
Creo que no es solucion
I don't think that's a solution
Hay que aceptarlo
We have to accept it
Perdona mi llanto
Forgive my tears
Me duele hasta el alma
It hurts me to my core
Pero nadie engaña a nuestro corazon
But no one deceives our heart
Prepara tus lagrimas
Prepare your tears
Mujer, mujer
Woman, woman
Se ha ido el amor
Love has gone away
Porque el fuego lo apagamos con lagrimas
Because we extinguished the fire with tears
Porque en vez de dar mas dimos menos
Because instead of giving more, we gave less
Por perdernos en orgullos absurdos
For losing ourselves in absurd pride
Que no hacian mas que herirnos
That only served to wound us
Y amargarnos la vida
And to sour our lives
Se ha ido el amor, se ha ido el amor
Love has gone away, love has gone away
Se ha ido el amor, se ha ido el amor
Love has gone away, love has gone away
De descuido en descuido
From neglect to neglect
Sin decirnos adios
Without saying goodbye
Se ha ido el amor, se ha ido el amor
Love has gone away, love has gone away
Nos hicimos la guerra
We waged war on each other
Y perdimos los dos
And we both lost
Se ha ido el amor, se ha ido el amor
Love has gone away, love has gone away
Destruimos un nido
We destroyed a nest
Se moria de frio
It was dying of cold
Y se fue el amor
And love has left
Se que es muy triste
I know it's very sad
Nos invaden recuerdos
Memories invade us
Eras casi una niña
You were almost a child
Cuando aquel primer beso te hizo llorar
When that first kiss made you cry
Mas hay que aceptarlo
But we have to accept it
Asi es el destino
That's how fate is
A veces nos regala
Sometimes it gifts us
A veces es un ladron
Sometimes it's a thief
Soñabamos con hijos
We dreamed of children
Mujer, y hoy
Woman, and today
Se ha ido el amor
Love has gone away
Porque el fuego lo apagamos con lagrimas
Because we extinguished the fire with tears
Porque en vez de dar mas, dimos menos
Because instead of giving more, we gave less
Por perdernos en orgullos absurdos
For losing ourselves in absurd prides
Que no hacian mas que herirnos
That only wounded us more
Y amargarnos la vida
And soured our lives
Se ha ido el amor, se ha ido el amor
Love is gone, love is gone
Se ha ido el amor, se ha ido el amor
Love is gone, love is gone
De descuido en descuido
From lapse to lapse
Sin decirnos adios
Without saying goodbye
Se ha ido el amor, se ha ido el amor
Love is gone, love is gone
Nos hicimos la guerra
We turned against each other
Y perdimos los dos
And we both lost
Se ha ido el amor, se ha ido el amor
Love has gone, love has gone
Destruimos un nido
We destroyed a nest
Se moria de frio
It was dying from the cold
Y se fue el amor
And love slipped away
Destruimos un nido
We destroyed a nest
Se moria de frio
It was dying from the cold
Y se fue el amor
And love slipped away
