Si tú me hubieras dicho siempre la verdad

If you had always told me the truth

Si hubieras respondido cuando te llamé

If you had answered when I called you

Si hubieras amado cuando te amé

If you had loved when I loved you

Serías en mis sueños la mejor mujer

You would be in my dreams, the best woman

Si no supiste amar

If you didn't know how to love

Ahora te puedes marchar

Now you can leave

Si tú supieras lo que yo sufrí por ti

If you knew how much I suffered for you

Teniendo que olvidarte sin saber porqué

Having to forget you without knowing why

Y ahora me llamas, me quieres ver

And now you call me, you want to see me

Me juras que has cambiado y piensas en volver

You swear you've changed and you're thinking of coming back

Si no supiste amar

If you didn't know how to love

Ahora te puedes marchar

Now you can leave

Aléjate de mí

Get away from me

No hay nada más que hablar

There is nothing more to talk about

Contigo yo perdí

With you I lost

Ya tengo con quien ganar

Now I have someone to win with

Ya sé que no hubo nadie que te diera lo que yo te di

I know that there was no one who gave you what I gave you

Que nadie te ha cuidado como te cuidé

That nobody has taken care of you like I took care of you

Por eso comprendo que estás aquí

That's why I understand that you are here

Pero ha pasado el tiempo y yo también cambié

But time has passed and I have also changed

Si no supiste amar

If you didn't know how to love

Ahora te puedes marchar

Now you can leave

...

Aléjate de mí

Get away from me

No hay nada más que hablar

There is nothing more to talk about

Contigo yo perdí

With you I lost

Ya tengo con quien ganar

Now I have someone to win with

Ya sé que no hubo nadie que te diera lo que yo te di

I know that there was no one who gave you what I gave you

Que nadie te ha cuidado como te cuidé

That nobody has taken care of you like I took care of you

Por eso comprendo que estás aquí

Pero ha pasado el tiempo y yo también cambié

But time has passed and I have also changed

Si no supiste amar

If you didn't know how to love

Ahora te puedes marchar

Now you can leave

Si no supiste amar

If you didn't know how to love

Ahora te puedes marchar

Now you can leave
