[English]

There were so many promises that I made to her

There were so many moments that we lived happily

I always told her what I felt for her

And now I have to tell her that there's another in my life

She doesn't deserve me to say goodbye, what we had has ended

She doesn't deserve to be pushed aside because of my confusion

But destiny put two loves in my path, and I don't want to lose either

I feel so confused, I don't know what to do

...

(Peña Blanca)

The moments we spent together were few

But for years I liked her a lot

I think things happened at the worst moment

I, being in love, felt complete

She doesn't deserve me to say goodbye, what we had has ended

She doesn't deserve to be pushed aside because of my confusion

But destiny put two loves in my path, and I don't want to lose either

I feel so confused, I don't know what to do

I feel so confused, I don't know what to do

...

[Spanish]

Fueron tantas las promesas que yo le hice

Fueron tantos los momentos que vivimos felices

Siempre le dije lo que por ella yo sentía

Y ahora tengo que decirle que hay otra en mi vida

No se merece que le diga adios lo nuestro ha terminado

No se merece que por mi confusión quiera hacerla a un lado

Pero el destino me puso dos amores y a ninguna quiero perder

Me siento tan confundido, no se que hacer

(Peña Blanca)

Fue contados los momentos que pasábamos juntos

Pero desde hace años me gustaba mucho

Creo que las cosas se dieron en el peor momento

Yo si estando enamorado me sentía completo

No se merece que le diga adios lo nuestro ha terminado

No se merece que por mi confusión quiera hacerla a un lado

Pero el destino me puso dos amores y a ninguna quiero perder

Me siento tan confundido, no se que hacer

Me siento tan confundido, no se que hacer
