Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Dime si es verdad

Tell me if it's true

Me dijeron que te estás casando

I heard that you're getting married

Tú no sabes lo estoy sufriendo

You don't know how much I'm suffering

Esto te lo tengo que decir

I have to tell you this

Cuéntame

Tell me

Tu despedida para mí fue dura

Your goodbye was hard on me

Será que él te llevó a la luna

Maybe he took you to the moon

Y yo no supe hacerlo así

And I didn't know how to do it like that

Te estaba buscando

I was looking for you

Por las calles gritando

Screaming through the streets

Esto me esto está matando, oh no

This, this is killing me, oh no

Te estaba buscando

I was looking for you

Por las calles gritando

Screaming through the streets

Como un loco tomando oh

Like a crazy man drinking, oh

Es que yo sin ti, y tú sin mí

It's just that me without you, and you without me

Dime quién puede ser feliz

Tell me who can be happy

Esto no me gusta

I don't like this

Esto no me gusta

I don't like this

Es que yo sin tí, y tú sin mí

It's just that me without you, and you without me

Dime quién puede ser feliz

Tell me who can be happy

Eso no me gusta

I don't like that

Eso no me gusta

I don't like that

Vivir sin tí, no aguanto más

Living without you, I can't take it anymore

Por eso vengo a decirte lo que siento

That's why I've come to tell you what I feel

Estoy sufriendo en la soledad

I'm suffering in solitude

Y aunque tu padre no aprobó esta relación

And even though your father didn't approve of this relationship

Yo sigo insistiendo a pedirte perdón

I keep insisting on asking for your forgiveness

Lo único que importa está en tu corazón

The only thing that matters is in your heart

Te estaba buscando

I was looking for you

Por las calles gritando

Screaming through the streets

Esto me está matando oh no

This is killing me, oh no

Te estaba buscando

I was looking for you

Por las calles gritando

Screaming through the streets

Como un loco tomando oh

Like a crazy man drinking, oh

Es que yo sin tí, y tú sin mí

It's just that me without you, and you without me

Dime quién puede ser feliz

Tell me who can be happy

Esto no me gusta

I don't like this

Esto no me gusta

I don't like this

Es que yo sin tí, y tú sin mí

It's just that me without you, and you without me

Dime quién puede ser feliz

Tell me who can be happy

Eso no me gusta

I don't like that

Eso no me gusta

I don't like that

Yo te juré a tí eterno amor

I swore eternal love to you

Y ahora otro te da calor

And now someone else warms you

Cuando en las noches tienes frío oh oh, oh

When you're cold at night, oh oh, oh

Yo sé que él te parece mejor

I know he seems better to you

Pero yo estoy en tu corazón

But I'm in your heart

Y por eso pido perdón

And that's why I ask for forgiveness

Es que yo sin tí, y tú sin mí

It's just that me without you, and you without me

Dime quién puede ser feliz

Tell me who can be happy

Esto no me gusta, oh no

I don't like this, oh no

Esto no me gusta

I don't like this

Es que yo sin tí, y tú sin mí

It's just that me without you, and you without me

Dime quién puede ser feliz

Tell me who can be happy

Esto no me gusta oh yeah, oh

I don't like this oh yeah, oh

(Y tú sin mí)

(And you without me)

Dicen que uno no sabe lo que tiene hasta que lo pierde pero...

They say you don't know what you have until you lose it, but...

(Y yo sin tí) Vale la pena luchar por lo que uno quiere

(And me without you) It's worth fighting for what you want

(No puedo vivir así) Y hacer el intento

(I can't live like this) And make the attempt

(No quiero vivir así)

(I don't want to live like this)

Grammar:

• Dime si es verdad, Me dijeron que te estás casando

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after verbs of influence/emotion and reported speech (indirect speech).

  ➔ "Dime si es verdad" uses the subjunctive mood after "Dime" implying doubt. "Me dijeron que te estás casando" uses the indicative because it reports a fact.

• Tú no sabes lo estoy sufriendo

  ➔ Use of "lo" as a neuter article/pronoun referring to an abstract concept or a previous statement.

  ➔ "Lo" refers to "what" the speaker is suffering. It's not a specific object, but rather the *experience* of suffering.

• Será que él te llevó a la luna, Y yo no supe hacerlo así

  ➔ Use of "será que" to express doubt or speculation.

  ➔ "Será que" introduces a speculative question expressing doubt. The imperfect subjunctive "supe" reflects the speaker's past inability.

• Te estaba buscando, Por las calles gritando

  ➔ Imperfect progressive tense (estaba + gerund) to describe an ongoing action in the past.

  ➔ "Estaba buscando" describes that the search was ongoing at a point in the past, implying a duration.

• Es que yo sin ti, y tú sin mí, Dime quién puede ser feliz

  ➔ Use of "sin" (without) to express a condition or lack of something essential.

  ➔ "Sin ti" and "sin mí" emphasize the mutual dependence and the resulting unhappiness of separation.

• Yo te juré a tí eterno amor

  ➔ Use of the dative pronoun "a ti" for emphasis (dative of interest/redundancy).

  ➔ The "a ti" isn't strictly necessary because "te" already acts as the indirect object, but it reinforces the idea that the promise was made *to you* specifically.

• Cuando en las noches tienes frío oh oh, oh

  ➔ Use of "Cuando" + present subjunctive or indicative depending on certainty/generality. Here indicative, "tienes" implying a general truth.

  ➔ Because the statement is generally true, the indicative "tienes" is used.
