"Que pare de sufrir", eso to' el mundo dice

"Stop suffering," that's what everyone says

Lloro porque tengo cicatrices

I cry because I carry scars

Y dolores en el alma

And pains in my soul

Sí que me has hecho falta

Yes, I've missed you so much

Hablo de mis entrañas para ser sincero

I speak from my guts to be honest

Sé que fui el culpable, por eso te pierdo

I know I was the one to blame, which is why I lose you

Hablabas, no te escuchaba

You talked, I wasn't listening

Solo desnuda era que me gustabas

I only liked you when you were bare

Hoy se llegó el momento

Today is the moment

Solo hay ruido en nuestra habitación

There's only noise in our room

Y silencios que gritan: "adiós"

And silences that shout: "Goodbye"

Mientras me dabas tu corazón

While you gave me your heart

Yo era un marinero buscando amor

Iba por cada puerto como si nada

I went to every port like it was nothing

Entre más olas, más naufragaba

Mientras me dabas tu corazón

Aquellos días, qué bien lo recuerdo

Tú ya graduada y yo en el colegio

Tú me enseñaba' cosas que me enamoraban

You showed me things that made me fall in love

Y practicaba con otras cuando no estabas

De eso me arrepiento hoy

Soy un idiota, mi papel fue lastimarte
