[English]

Alone, knowing

That you're 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 drift away from me

ouuuuuoohh oooh ohhh ohhh

In all my life I've 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 drift away from me,

ouuuuuohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Don't leave me alone...

[Spanish]

Solo, al saber

Que te vas de mi,

Al saber

Que no volveras,

Que no volveras.

Quiero que comprendas,

Que por tu amor,

Llegaré hasta el sacrificio,

Y por Ti...

No me dejes solo

Que no vivo sin ti,

No me dejes solo,

ouuuoohh ohhh ohhh ohhh

No me dejes solo

Que mi muerte será,

Si te alejas de mi

ouuuuuoohh oooh ohhh ohhh

En la vida no amé,

Como te quiero a ti.

ouuuuoohhh ohhh ohh ohhh

Laralalalala laralalalala laralalalalala

ouuuuohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

laralalalala laralalalala laralalalala

ouuuooohh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Quiero que comprendas,

Que por tu amor

Llegaré hasta el sacrificio

Y por ti...

No me dejes solo,

Que no vivo sin ti,

No me dejes solo

ouuuhhhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

No me dejes solo,

Que mi muerte será

Si te allejas de mi,

ouuuuuohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

No me dejes solo...
