Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Mentiría si dijera que sin ti la vida sigue igual

I'd be lying if I said that without you, life goes on the same

Que no duele tu partida y que, por fin, ya te logré olvidar

That your departure doesn't hurt and that, finally, I've managed to forget you

Decir que no me afecta verte ya con otro

To say that it doesn't affect me to see you with someone else

No me lo creería ni yo mismo, tampoco

Not even I myself would believe that, either

Sería mirarme al espejo y quererme engañar

It would be looking in the mirror and wanting to deceive myself

Porque aún te amo y sigo enamorado

Because I still love you and I'm still in love

No encuentro el modo de olvidarme de ti

I can't find a way to forget you

De arrancarme tu amor de raíz

To tear your love out by the roots

Porque aún te amo y estoy abandonado

Because I still love you and I'm abandoned

Lo que no haría por volverte a besar

What I wouldn't do to kiss you again

Y a tu lado poder despertar

And be able to wake up by your side

Porque aún te amo

Because I still love you

Tu recuerdo está presente en cada cosa a mi alrededor

Your memory is present in everything around me

...

...

No hay distancia ni hay olvido que te saquen de mi corazón

There is no distance or oblivion that will take you out of my heart

Extraño cada instante que viví contigo

I miss every moment I lived with you

Mi vida sin tu amor, te juro, es un castigo

My life without your love, I swear, is a punishment

Regresa de nuevo conmigo, te pido perdón

Come back to me again, I beg your forgiveness

Porque aún te amo y sigo enamorado

Because I still love you and I'm still in love

No encuentro el modo de olvidarme de ti

I can't find a way to forget you

De arrancarme tu amor de raíz

To tear your love out by the roots

Porque aún te amo y estoy abandonado

Because I still love you and I'm abandoned

Lo que no haría por volverte a besar

What I wouldn't do to kiss you again

Y a tu lado poder despertar

And be able to wake up by your side

Porque aún te amo

Because I still love you

...

Porque aún te amo y sigo enamorado

Because I still love you and I'm still in love

Lo que no haría por volverte a besar

What I wouldn't do to kiss you again

Y a tu lado poder despertar

And be able to wake up by your side

Porque aún te amo

Mentiría si dijera que sin ti la vida sigue igual

I'd be lying if I said that without you, life goes on the same
