[English]

If you had always told me the truth

If you had answered when I called you

If you had loved when I loved you

You would be in my dreams, the best woman

If you didn't know how to love

Now you can leave

...

If you knew how much I suffered for you

Having to forget you without knowing why

And now you call me, you want to see me

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

If you didn't know how to love

Now you can leave

Get away from me

There is nothing more to talk about

With you I lost

Now I have someone to win with

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

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

That's why I understand that you are here

But time has passed and I have also changed

If you didn't know how to love

Now you can leave

...

Get away from me

There is nothing more to talk about

With you I lost

Now I have someone to win with

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

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

That's why I understand that you are here

But time has passed and I have also changed

If you didn't know how to love

Now you can leave

If you didn't know how to love

Now you can leave

...

[Spanish]

Si tú me hubieras dicho siempre la verdad

Si hubieras respondido cuando te llamé

Si hubieras amado cuando te amé

Serías en mis sueños la mejor mujer

Si no supiste amar

Ahora te puedes marchar

Si tú supieras lo que yo sufrí por ti

Teniendo que olvidarte sin saber porqué

Y ahora me llamas, me quieres ver

Me juras que has cambiado y piensas en volver

Si no supiste amar

Ahora te puedes marchar

Aléjate de mí

No hay nada más que hablar

Contigo yo perdí

Ya tengo con quien ganar

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

Que nadie te ha cuidado como te cuidé

Por eso comprendo que estás aquí

Pero ha pasado el tiempo y yo también cambié

Si no supiste amar

Ahora te puedes marchar

Aléjate de mí

No hay nada más que hablar

Contigo yo perdí

Ya tengo con quien ganar

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

Que nadie te ha cuidado como te cuidé

Por eso comprendo que estás aquí

Pero ha pasado el tiempo y yo también cambié

Si no supiste amar

Ahora te puedes marchar

Si no supiste amar

Ahora te puedes marchar
