  1. Disfruté tanto, tanto cada parte

    I enjoyed so much, so much every part

  2. Y gocé tanto, tanto cada todo

    And I relished so much, so much everything

  3. Que me duele algo menos cuando partes

    That it hurts a little less when you leave

  4. Porque aquí te me quedas de algún modo

    Because here you stay with me somehow

  5. Ojalá nunca sepas cuánto amaba

    I wish you'd never know how much I loved

  6. Descubrirte los trillos de la entrega

    To uncover the paths of surrender

  7. Y el secreto esplendor con que esperaba

    And the secret splendor with which I waited

  8. Tu reclamo de amor que ya no llega

    For your call of love that no longer comes

  9. Anda, corre donde debas ir

    Go on, run to where you need to be

  10. Anda, que te espera el porvenir

    Go on, the future awaits you

  11. Vuela, que los cines están vivos

    Fly, for the cinemas are alive

  12. Mi canto está conmigo

    My song is with me

  13. No tengo soledad

    I have no loneliness

  14. Si uno fuera a llorar cuando termina

    If one were to cry when it ends

  15. No alcanzarán las lágrimas a tanto

    Tears won't suffice for that

  16. Nuestras horas de amor casi divinas

    Our hours of love are almost divine

  17. Es mejor despedirlas con un canto

    It's better to say farewell with a song

  18. Anda, corre donde debas ir

    Come on, run to where you need to go

  19. Anda, que te espera el porvenir

    Come on, your future awaits

  20. Vuela, que los cines están vivos

    Fly, for the cinemas are alive

  21. Mi canto está conmigo

    My song is with me

  22. No tengo soledad

    I have no solitude
