[English]

Fueron tantas las promesas que yo le hice

There were so many promises that I made to her

Fueron tantos los momentos que vivimos felices

There were so many moments that we lived happily

Siempre le dije lo que por ella yo sentía

I always told her what I felt for her

Y ahora tengo que decirle que hay otra en mi vida

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

No se merece que le diga adios lo nuestro ha terminado

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

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

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

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

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

Me siento tan confundido, no se que hacer

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

...

Fue contados los momentos que pasábamos juntos

The moments we spent together were few

Pero desde hace años me gustaba mucho

But for years I liked her a lot

Creo que las cosas se dieron en el peor momento

I think things happened at the worst moment

Yo si estando enamorado me sentía completo

I, being in love, felt complete

No se merece que le diga adios lo nuestro ha terminado

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

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

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

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

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

Me siento tan confundido, no se que hacer

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

Me siento tan confundido, no se que hacer

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