[English]

What’s in the past is in the past

I’m not interested

If I suffered and cried before

Everything is left in yesterday

I’ve already forgotten (I’ve already forgotten)

I’ve already forgotten (I’ve already forgotten)

I’ve already forgotten (I’ve already forgotten)

I have someone in life to live for

I love and I am loved

I will never be

Alone and sad again

It’s yesterday (I’ve already forgotten)

I’ve already forgotten (I’ve already forgotten)

...

I ask for applause for love

That has come to me

...

A thousand thanks for so much love

...

I live in love, today I have fallen in love

How happy I am (I’m happy)

...

I’ve already forgotten everything

I’ve already forgotten the past

I’ve already said goodbye

(I’m happy)

...

I’ve already forgotten (I’ve already forgotten)

I’ve already forgotten (I’ve already forgotten)

I’ve already forgotten (I’ve already forgotten)

I ask for applause for love

That has come to me

A thousand thanks for so much love

...

I live in love, today I have fallen in love

How happy I am (I’m happy)

I’ve already forgotten everything

I’ve already forgotten the past

...

I’ve already said goodbye

(I’ve forgotten it)

...

[Spanish]

Ya lo pasado, pasado

No me interesa

Si antes sufrí y lloré

Todo quedó en el ayer

Ya olvidé (Ya olvidé)

Ya olvidé (Ya olvidé)

Ya olvidé (Ya olvidé)

Tengo en la vida por quien vivir

Amo y me aman

Ya nunca más estaré

Solo y triste otra vez

Es el ayer (Ya olvidé)

Ya olvidé (Ya olvidé)

Pido un aplauso para el amor

Que a mí ha llegado

Mil gracias por tanto y tanto amor

Vivo enamorado, hoy me he enamorado

Qué feliz estoy (Soy feliz)

Ya todo he olvidado

Ya todo el pasado

Ya le dije adiós

(Soy feliz)

Ya olvidé (Ya olvidé)

Ya olvidé (Ya olvidé)

Ya olvidé (Ya olvidé)

Pido un aplauso para el amor

Que a mí ha llegado

Mil gracias por tanto y tanto amor

Vivo enamorado, hoy me he enamorado

Qué feliz estoy (Soy feliz)

Ya todo he olvidado

A todo el pasado

Ya le dije adiós

(Ya lo olvidé)
