Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I have decided to write to you,

after so much crying.

My tears today are these verses that

your absence will never erase.

I leave as I came into your life,

quietly, I say goodbye, I go.

But it's so hard for me to forget you, my love.

It is so hard for me to say goodbye.

Today I understand again that those walks

back to the hotel will never return,

when you pushed me so we wouldn’t lose

a single moment making love.

I will stop watching you grow,

I leave to live

where oblivion dwells.

And I will try to find

another path to your love.

Every time I try to lose

the fear of falling,

I stumble on myself.

And I let slip

the one who loved me and I am left without light.

The ground of my life dresses,

cloaked with leaves of a goodbye.

My destiny is to love and say farewell, to ask

permission to live.

You left forgotten in every corner

of my soul little pieces of your heart.

You left forgotten in my soul pain,

sleeping embraced by a flower.

I will stop watching you grow,

I leave to live

where oblivion dwells.

And I will try to find

another path to your love.

And I don’t know if I will get lost

or find myself,

I feel so alone.

But to my hell I will go

in search of all I did not give you.

Today I understand again that you will never return

to caress me before sleeping.

And pressed to my chest you ask me to

hold you and not let you go.

I will stop watching you grow,

I have to go

and find my way.

And I will never forget

how much you have loved me, my love.

I will stop watching you grow,

I leave to live

where oblivion dwells.

And I will try to find

another path to your love.

[Spanish]

He decidido escribirte,

después de tanto llorar.

Mis lágrimas son hoy estos versos que

tu ausencia nunca podrá borrar.

Me voy como vine a tu vida,

sin hacer ruido me despido, me voy.

Pero me cuesta tanto olvidarte, mi amor.

Me cuesta tanto decirte adiós.

Hoy he vuelto a entender que jamás volverán

aquellos paseos de vuelta al hotel,

en que tú me empujabas para no perder

ni un solo instante en hacer el amor.

Dejaré de verte crecer,

me marcho a vivir

donde habita el olvido.

Y intentaré buscar

otro camino a tu amor.

Cada vez que intento perder

el miedo a caer,

me tropiezo en mí mismo.

Y dejo escapar

a quien me ha querido y me quedo sin luz.

El suelo de mi vida se viste,

se abriga con hojas de un adiós.

Mi destino es amar y despedirme, pedir

permiso para vivir.

Te dejaste olvidados en cada rincón

de mi alma trocitos de tu corazón.

Te dejaste olvidado en mi alma dolor,

dormía abrazado a una flor.

Dejaré de verte crecer,

me marcho a vivir

donde habita el olvido.

Y intentaré buscar

otro camino a tu amor.

Y no sé si me perderé

o me encontraré,

me siento tan solo.

Pero a mi infierno iré

en busca de todo lo que no te di.

Hoy he vuelto a entender que jamás volverás

a acariciarme antes de dormir.

Y pegada a mi pecho me pidas que

te abrace y no te deje ir.

Dejaré de verte crecer,

me tengo que ir

y encontrar mi camino.

Y nunca olvidaré

lo que me has querido, amor.

Dejaré de verte crecer,

me marcho a vivir

donde habita el olvido.

Y intentaré buscar

otro camino a tu amor.
