[English]

I remember your name crying in a rain

When you left and close my door

I remember myself in my emptiness

Waiting for a special call

I am begging you, i am begging you

Im begging you eyes to cry

I am begging you, i am begging you

I wish id never said goodbye

I remember your name crying in a rain

When you left and close my door

I remember myself in my emptiness

Waiting for a special call

I am begging you, i am begging you

Im begging you eyes to cry

I am begging you, i am begging you

I wish id never said goodbye

Y tu sabes que digo

My, my, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye

My, my, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye

I remember your name crying in a rain

When you left and close my door

I remember myself in my emptiness

Waiting for a special call

I am begging you, i am begging you

Im begging you eyes to cry

I am begging you, i am begging you

I wish id never said goodbye

Y tu sabes que digo

My, my, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye

My, my, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye

My, my, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye

My, my, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
