Feel that there's no point in going on.
Cuando te falte la confianza, o cuando pierdas la
When you lack trust, or when you lose the
Esperanza que te hizo tratar, recuerda que eso es
Hope that made you try, remember that it's
Pasajero, pero mi amor es verdadero y no se marchará.
Temporary, but my love is real and it won't fade away.
Piensa en mí. Piensa en mí. Piensa en mí. Piensa en mí.
Think of me. Think of me. Think of me. Think of me.

Piensa en mí. Piensa en mí. Piensa en mí. Piensa en mí.
Think of me. Think of me. Think of me. Think of me.
Nunca es demasiado tarde para ser felíz.
It's never too late to be happy.
