[English]

One fine day I'll leave

and never come back

and you'll lose me.

Just like that.

That day will come

when you tire me out

and I'll leave you.

Just like that.

Until now, my love

I've lacked the courage

to run away.

Until now, my love

I've had the strength

to live in suffering.

...

One fine day I'll leave

when I know that I

can live without your love.

Just like that.

That day will come

when nothing about you

can make me suffer.

Just like that.

Until now, my love

I've lacked the courage

to run away.

Until now, my love

I've had the strength

to live in suffering.

...

One fine day I'll leave

and you'll miss me

and you'll cry for me.

Just like that.

That day will be

when you realize that I

have found another love.

Just like that.

Until now, my love

I've lacked the courage

to run away.

Until now, my love

I've had the strength

to live in suffering.

...

[Spanish]

Un buen día me iré

para nunca volver

y me vas a perder.

Así de fácil.

Ese día vendrá

que me vas a cansar

y te voy a dejar.

Así de fácil.

Hasta ahora mi amor

me ha faltado coraje

para salir corriendo.

Hasta ahora mi amor

he tenido valor

para vivir sufriendo.

Un buen día me iré

cuando sepa que yo

viviré sin tu amor.

Así de fácil.

Ese día vendrá

cuando nada de ti

pueda hacerme sufrir.

Así de fácil.

Hasta ahora mi amor

me ha faltado coraje

para salir corriendo.

Hasta ahora mi amor

he tenido valor

para vivir sufriendo.

Un buen día me iré

y me vas a extrañar

y me vas a llorar.

Así de fácil.

Ese día será

cuando sepas que yo

he encontrado otro amor.

Así de fácil.

Hasta ahora mi amor

me ha faltado coraje

para salir corriendo.

Hasta ahora mi amor

he tenido valor

para vivir sufriendo.

Key Grammar Structures

• Un buen día me iré para nunca volver.

  ➔ Simple future (irregular verb)

  ➔ "Iré" is the simple future form of "ir", indicating a decision made now about a future action.

• y me vas a perder.

  ➔ Ir + a + infinitive (near future)

  ➔ "vas a perder" uses the periphrastic future "ir a + infinitive" to talk about an upcoming event.

• cuando nada de ti pueda hacerme sufrir.

  ➔ Present subjunctive after a future time clause (cuando + subjunctive)

  ➔ "pueda" is the present subjunctive of "poder", required after "cuando" when the clause refers to an uncertain future event.

• Hasta ahora mi amor me ha faltado coraje para salir corriendo.

  ➔ Present perfect (haber + past participle)

  ➔ "ha faltado" combines the auxiliary "ha" (from "haber") with the past participle "faltado", showing an action completed up to the present.

• he tenido valor para vivir sufriendo.

  ➔ Present perfect with "haber" (he + past participle)

  ➔ "he tenido" uses the auxiliary "he" (from "haber") plus the past participle "tenido" to express an experience up to now.

• cuando sepa que yo viviré sin tu amor.

  ➔ Present subjunctive after "cuando" referring to a future condition

  ➔ "sepa" is the present subjunctive of "saber", required because "cuando" introduces a future, uncertain situation.

• Ese día será cuando sepas que yo he encontrado otro amor.

  ➔ Future simple + present subjunctive after "cuando" + present perfect

  ➔ "sepas" (subjunctive) follows "cuando" because the clause points to a future moment that is not yet certain; "he encontrado" is present perfect showing a completed action up to now.

• y me vas a extrañar.

  ➔ Ir + a + infinitive (near future)

  ➔ "vas a extrañar" uses the periphrastic future to express something that will happen soon.

• Así de fácil.

  ➔ Idiomatic comparative construction "as + adjective + de"

  ➔ "Así" (so) + "de" + adjective forms an idiomatic phrase meaning "that easy"; it is a fixed comparative pattern.
