[English]

Alone, knowing

That you are leaving me,

Knowing

That you won't return,

That you won't return.

I want you to understand,

That for your love,

I would go as far as sacrifice,

And for you...

Don't leave me alone

For I cannot live without you,

Don't leave me alone,

ouuuoohh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Don't leave me alone

For it will be my death,

If you walk away from me

ouuuuuoohh oooh ohhh ohhh

In my life, I have never loved,

The way that I love you.

ouuuuoohhh ohhh ohh ohhh

Laralalalala laralalalala laralalalalala

ouuuuohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

laralalalala laralalalala laralalalala

ouuuooohh ohhh ohhh ohhh

I want you to understand,

That for your love

I would go as far as sacrifice

And for you...

Don't leave me alone,

For I cannot live without you,

Don't leave me alone

ouuuhhhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Don't leave me alone,

For it will be my death

If you walk away from me,

ouuuuuohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Don't leave me alone...

Solo, al saber

Que te vas de mi,

Al saber

Que no volveras,

Que no vivo sin ti,

No me dejes solo,

En la vida no amé,

Como te quiero a ti.
