[English]

Looking outward,

Sunk among cotton

with clouded eyes.

Looking without looking, through the glass

remembering a past when you

were by my side.

If I could choose, I would want to go back.

To that time when both

thought this love would have no end.

...

When I saw you leave

I understood that age had withered.

...

The flower of our love burned so fiercely

that it had faded even more today,

I see you leaving again

knowing that now

I will not see you return.

You go, you go leaving me, with nothing to say

with nothing to offer...

Let me weep for you in a corner

I know this will be better.

I forgot what you were to me

now I only feel endless pain.

(SOLO)

...

Let me weep for you in a corner

I know this will be better.

I forgot what you were to me

now I only feel endless pain.

Let me weep for you in a corner

...

I know this will be better.

I forgot what you were to me

now I only feel endless pain.

Now I only feel endless pain...

Now I only feel endless pain...

...

[Spanish]

Mirando al exterior,

hundido entre algodón

con los ojos nublados.

Mirando sin mirar, a través del cristal

recordando un pasado en el que tú

estabas junto a mí.

Si pudiera elegir, querría regresar.

A aquel tiempo en el que los dos

pensamos que este amor no tendría final.

Cuando te vi marchar

entendí que la edad había marchitado.

La flor de nuestro amor con tanta fuerza ardió

que se había apagado mas hoy,

te vuelvo a ver marchar

sabiendo que ahora ya

no te veré volver.

Te vas, te vas dejándome, sin nada que decir

sin nada que ofrecer...

Déjame que te llore en un rincón

sé que así, será mejor.

Olvidé lo que eras para mí

ahora solo siento un dolor sin fin.

(SOLO)

Déjame que te llore en un rincón

sé que así, será mejor.

Olvidé lo que eras para mí

ahora solo siento un dolor sin fin.

Déjame que te llore en un rincón

sé que así, será mejor.

Olvidé lo que eras para mí

ahora solo siento un dolor sin fin.

Ahora sólo siento un dolor sin fin...

Ahora sólo siento un dolor sin fin...
