[English]

If you've been by my side through thick and thin,

the least I can say is that you're my whole life within.

Your skin is my flag, your eyes my guiding light,

they brighten my path, erasing all wrong from sight.

In the darkest nights... a full moon's glow,

but when the sun shines bright... you take away my woe.

I won't let go, not for a second, I swear, no matter what may be,

never, ever, will I...

I won't let go, no matter what may come our way,

whether the road turns to stone or air, come what may.

I won't let go, I'm staying right here,

this battle is ours, and we'll face it without fear.

I won't let go, even if the ground shakes,

my love is stronger than any heartache it takes.

I won't let go, I won't run and hide,

because with you, I've learned it all, side by side.

Each day is a step ahead,

I hold you close, so fears are fled.

Though my body aches and tires,

your smile reignites my fires.

Your scars are my flag unfurled,

your courage, my truest world.

Pain will never defeat us, no,

together, we'll always fight and grow.

I won't let go, no matter what may come our way,

whether the road turns to stone or air, come what may.

I won't let go, I'm staying right here,

this battle is ours, and we'll face it without fear.

I won't let go, even if the ground shakes,

my love is stronger than any heartache it takes.

I won't let go, I won't run and hide,

because with you, I've learned it all, side by side.

If you fall, I'll lift you up high,

if you cry, I'll sing you a lullaby.

You're my life, my reason to be,

my hope, my song, my destiny.

I won't let go, even if the ground shakes,

my love is stronger than any heartache it takes.

I won't let go, I won't run and hide,

because with you, I've learned it all, side by side.

[Spanish]

Si en las buenas y en las malas estuviste aquí a mi vera,

pues que menos que te diga que tú eres mi vida entera.

Que tu piel es mi bandera y tus ojitos son el faro,

que iluminan mi camino, que borran todo lo malo.

En las noches más oscuras... luna llena,

pero cuando el sol deslumbra... quitapenas.

No te suelto ni un segundo y juro pase lo que pase,

que jamás de los jamases...

No te suelto, pase lo que pase,

si el camino se vuelve de piedra o de aire.

No te suelto, no me voy de aquí,

la batalla es nuestra y la vamos a vivir.

No te suelto, aunque tiemble el suelo,

mi amor es más fuerte que todo el duelo.

No te suelto, no voy a huir,

porque contigo yo todo... aprendí.

Cada día es un paso más,

yo te abrazo para aguantar.

Aunque el cuerpo se canse y duela,

tu sonrisa me vuelve a salvar.

Tus cicatrices son mi bandera,

tu valentía mi verdad.

El dolor nunca nos vencerá,

porque juntos sabemos luchar.

No te suelto, pase lo que pase,

si el camino se vuelve de piedra o de aire.

No te suelto, no me voy de aquí,

la batalla es nuestra y la vamos a vivir.

No te suelto, aunque tiemble el suelo,

mi amor es más fuerte que todo el duelo.

No te suelto, no voy a huir,

porque contigo yo todo... aprendí.

Si caes, te levanto.

Si lloras, te canto.

Eres mi vida, mi razón,

mi esperanza, mi canción.

No te suelto, aunque tiemble el suelo.

Mi amor es más fuerte que todo el duelo.

No te suelto, no voy a huir,

porque contigo yo todo aprendí.
