Lyrics & Translation

[English] You passed by me
With great indifference
Your eyes didn't even glance at me
I saw you without you seeing me
I spoke to you without you hearing me
And all my bitterness drowned inside me
It hurts me, even life, to think that you forgot me
To know that I don't even deserve your disdain
And yet, you remain tied to my existence
And if I live 100 years, for 100 years I will think of you

It hurts me, even life, to think that you forgot me
To know that I don't even deserve your disdain
And yet, you remain tied to my existence
And if I live 100 years, for 100 years I will think of you
