[English]

I know I caused you a thousand wounds

Almost impossible to heal

And no one wins the game

Because you're there and I'm here

When pride won't let you

Enter into reason and time

You have to silence all your complaints

And listen to your heart

Why cry?

Why live like this?

Why think?

To come back to me

What does it matter now?

What do they have to say?

If I already came, I came for you

Only for you, oh love!

Don't hurt me anymore with that resentment

Don't push me further with loneliness

Don't make alliances with pain

Don't worsen my reality

I'll give you even the moon in its splendor

I'll give you even my blood for your mercy

I'll do anything so your heart

Can see how great forgiveness is

And don't hurt me anymore with that resentment

And don't push me further with loneliness

Don't make alliances with pain

Don't worsen my reality

I'll give you even the moon in its splendor (Hey)

I'll give you even my blood for your mercy

I'll do anything so your heart

Can see how great forgiveness is

I'll do anything so your heart

Can see how great forgiveness is

(Na, na, na, na, na)

...

What are you going to do at our corner?

Now realizing I'm no longer here

What will you do with this ruin?

If you're not here, I don't know who I am

If you no longer sleep at night

If your smile is gone

If reproaches don't leave anything

Come back and don't look back

Why cry?

Why live like this?

Why think?

To come back to me

What does it matter now?

What do they have to say?

If I already came, I came for you

Only for you, oh love!

Don't hurt me anymore with that resentment

Don't push me further with loneliness

Don't make alliances with pain

Don't worsen my reality

I'll give you even the moon in its splendor

I'll give you even my blood for your mercy

I'll do anything so your heart

Can see how great forgiveness is

And don't hurt me anymore with that resentment (No)

And don't push me further with loneliness (With loneliness)

Don't make alliances with pain

Don't worsen my reality

I'll give you even the moon in its splendor (Hey)

I'll give you even my blood for your mercy

I'll do anything so your heart

Can see how great forgiveness is

I'll do anything so your heart

Can see how great forgiveness is

Oh, love! (There are wounds impossible to heal)

What to do with this love? (No one wins the game)

I don't know who I am (Why cry, why suffer like this?)

This pain kills me (If I came today for you)

To tell you (Love)

Come back and don't look back (What to do with this love?)

No, don't worsen my reality (I don't know who I am)

I give you my life, I give you my blood (This pain kills me)

I still adore you

Oh, love! (What will you do?)

What to do with this love? (Realizing I'm no longer here)

I don't know who I am (If you no longer sleep at night)

This pain kills me (And reproaches leave nothing, my heart)

Come back to me, love (I'll give you even the moon)

What to do with this love? (My entire life)

I don't know who I am (And there's no one like you)

Don't look back

...

[Spanish]

Se que te hice mil heridas

Casi imposibles de sanar

Y nadie gana la partida

Pues tú allí y yo acá

Cuando el orgullo no te deja

Entrar en tiempo y en razón

Hay que callar todas sus quejas

Y hacerle caso al corazón

¿Porque llorar?

¿Porque vivir así?

¿Porque pensar?

Para volver a mí

¡Que importa ya!

¿Que tienen que decir?

Si vine ya, vine por tí

Solo por tí, ¡Ay, amor!

No me mates más con ese rencor

No me tires más con la soledad

No hagas alianzas con el dolor

No empeores mi realidad

Te doy hasta la luna con su esplendor

Te doy hasta mi sangre por tu piedad

Doy lo que sea para que tu corazón

Mire lo grande que es perdonar

Y no me mates más con ese rencor

Y no me tires más con la soledad

Y no hagas alianzas con el dolor

No empeores mi realidad

Te doy hasta la luna con su esplendor (Oye)

Te doy hasta mi sangre por tu piedad

Doy lo que sea para que tu corazón

Miré lo grande que es perdonar

Doy lo que sea para que tu corazón

Mire lo grande que es perdonar

(Na, na, na, na, na)

¿Que vas a hacer en nuestra esquina?

Al realizar que ya no estoy

¿Que vas a hacer con esta ruina?

Si tú no estás, no sé quién soy

Si ya no duermes en la noche

Si tu sonrisa ya no está

Si nada dejan los reproches

Regresa y no mires atrás

¿Porque llorar?

¿Porque vivir así?

¿Porque pensar?

Para volver a mí

¡Que importa ya!

¿Que tienen que decir?

Si vine ya, vine por tí

Solo por tí, ¡Ay, amor!

No me mates más con ese rencor

No me tires más con la soledad

No hagas alianzas con el dolor

No empeores mi realidad

Yo te doy hasta la luna con su esplendor

Te doy hasta mi sangre por tu piedad

Doy lo que sea para que tu corazón

Mire lo grande que es perdonar

Y no me mates más con ese rencor (No)

Y no me tires más con la soledad (Con la soledad)

Y no hagas alianzas con el dolor

No empeores mi realidad

Yo te doy hasta la luna con su esplendor (Oye)

Te doy hasta mi sangre por tu piedad

Doy lo que sea para que tu corazón

Mire lo grande que es perdonar

Doy lo que sea para que tu corazón

Mire lo grande que es perdonar

¡Ay, amor! (Hay heridas imposibles de sanar)

¿Que hacer con este amor? (Nadie gana la partida)

No sé quién soy (¿Por qué llorar, por qué sufrir así?)

Me mata este dolor (Si hoy vine por ti)

A decirte (Amor)

Regresa y no mires atrás (¿Qué hacer con esté amor?

No, no, no empeores mi realidad (No sé quién soy)

Te doy mi vida, te doy mi sangre (Me mata esté dolor)

Yo, yo aún te venero

¡Ay, amor! (¿Qué vas a hacer?)

¿Que hacer con esté amor? (Al realizar que ya no estoy aquí)

No sé quién soy (Si ya no duermes en la noche)

Me mata este dolor (Y nada dejan los reproches, corazón)

Regresa a mí, amor (Te doy hasta la luna)

¿Qué hacer con esté amor? (Yo mi vida entera)

No sé quién soy (Y como tú no hay ninguna)

No mires atrás

Key Grammar Structures

• Se que te hice mil heridas, casi imposibles de sanar

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Present Subjunctive)

  ➔ The use of 'se que' (I know that) is followed by the subjunctive 'hice' because there is a degree of uncertainty or subjectivity depending on the speaker.

• Cuando el orgullo no te deja entrar en tiempo y en razón

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Present Subjunctive after 'cuando')

  ➔ The word “cuando” (when) is followed by subjunctive mood when it introduces an uncertain or hypothetical situation. Here, it emphasizes the possibility that pride prevents reason.

• Hay que callar todas sus quejas

  ➔ Impersonal 'Hay que' + Infinitive

  ➔ 'Hay que' is an impersonal construction meaning 'one must' or 'it is necessary to'. It's always followed by an infinitive verb.

• ¿Que vas a hacer en nuestra esquina? Al realizar que ya no estoy

  ➔ Future Tense ('vas a hacer') and Subjunctive after 'realizar que'

  ➔ The expression 'vas a hacer' indicates a future action. 'Realizar que' (to realize that) often precedes the subjunctive because the realization itself is uncertain at the time of speaking.

• Si tú no estás, no sé quién soy

  ➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 1 or 0 depending on the context)

  ➔ This is a conditional sentence. Depending on the context, it could be a Type 0 (general truth: if you are not here, generally I don't know who I am) or a Type 1 (real possibility: if you are not here, I won't know who I am).

• Doy lo que sea para que tu corazón Mire lo grande que es perdonar

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood after 'para que' and 'Doy lo que sea'

  ➔ 'Para que' (so that) always introduces a clause in the subjunctive because it expresses a purpose or a desired outcome. 'Doy lo que sea' implies a strong desire which is usually followed by subjunctive.
