Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Te juro que yo no quise hacerlo

I swear I didn't mean to do it

El tiempo se fué y no pude detenerlo

Time flew by and I couldn't stop it

Cuento los días para volver a vernos

I count the days until we see each other again

...

...

Aunque en este momento, todo es mejor de lejos

Even though right now, everything is better from afar

Pasaban los días y más me daba cuenta

Days went by and I realized more and more

No supimos cuidar lo que no tenía respuesta

We didn't know how to take care of what had no answers

...

...

Ahora que Honey, no estás

Now that Honey, you're not here

Ahora que Honey, no estás

Now that Honey, you're not here

Aquí ya no hay un lugar para los dos

There's no longer a place for the two of us

Y tienes que admitir que yo intenté de mí todo

And you have to admit that I tried my best

He visto las fotos que ahora estás con alguien más

I've seen the photos that now you're with someone else

De verdad espero que a ustedes no les vaya mal

I truly hope things don't go wrong for you two

Pero no puedo ser quien tú siempre quieres ver

But I can't be who you always want to see

Si para estar contigo debo dejarme a mi también

If to be with you I have to leave myself behind too

Ahora que Honey, no estás

Now that Honey, you're not here

Ahora que Honey, no estás

Now that Honey, you're not here

Ahora que Honey

Now that Honey

...

...

No estás, ahh ah ah

You're not here, ahh ah ah

...

...

Creo que ya no importa si no vas a volver

I think it no longer matters if you're not coming back

...

...

Desde el Paseo del Ángel, siempre te recordaré

From Paseo del Ángel, I'll always remember you

...
