[English]

Music

If you had told me it was

Our last kiss

I would still be kissing you

I would still be kissing you

If you had told me

That it was

Our farewell

I would still be begging you

Don’t deepen my wound anymore

I would still be pleading

Don’t make my life bitter

But now, I know

You’ve gone away from me

Today my world’s upside down

It’s an unhappy world

If you had told me

That it was

Our last kiss

I would still be kissing you

I would still be kissing you

Music

But now, you see

You’ve gone away from me

Today my world’s upside down

It’s an unhappy world

If you had told me

That it was

Our last kiss

I would still be kissing you

I would still be kissing you

Thank you very much

[Spanish]

(Música)

Si me hubieras dicho que era

Aquel nuestro último beso

Todavía estaría besándote

Todavía estaría besándote

Si me hubieras dicho

Que era

Esa nuestra despedida

Todavía estaría rogándote

Ya no me ahondarás la herida

Todavía estaría implorándote

No me amargarás la vida

Pero ahora, ya lo se

Tú te fuiste de mi lado

Hoy mi mundo está al revés

Es un mundo desdichado

Si me hubieras dicho

Que era

Aquel nuestro último beso

Todavía estaría besándote

Todavía estaría besándote

(Música)

Pero ahora, ya lo ves

Tú te fuiste de mi lado

Hoy mi mundo está al revés

Es un mundo desdichado

Si me hubieras dicho

Que era

Aquel nuestro último beso

Todavía estaría besándote

Todavía estaría besándote

(Muchas gracias)
