[English]

You think it will be very easy if you leave crying

...

You who know me think you can convince me like this

I want you to find out soon that continuing to play

Is something you will never get from me again

I know you deceived me one day with that friend

I know from others that you were always around

You who left me, you who deceived me, you who humiliated me

You want me to say come back just because

I’m leaving far away, distance is my destiny

And only my destiny can speak

I’m leaving far away and maybe on my way

I’ll find other hands, another love

I’m leaving far away because I know I’m a coward

I’m afraid of you and that’s the only reason

I have to lose you, I don’t care and you know it

I leave everything, go alone, with your love

...

You think it will be very easy if you leave crying

You who know me think you can convince me like this

I want you to find out soon that continuing to play

Is something you will never get from me again

He was my best friend and you knew this

You cared little then to laugh at me

Kisses at night, laughter in the street, crying in the morning

I don’t know how you dare to come back to me

I’m leaving far away, distance is my destiny

And only my destiny can speak

I’m leaving far away and maybe on my way

I’ll find other hands, another love

I’m leaving far away because I know I’m a coward

I’m afraid of you and that’s the only reason

I have to lose you, I don’t care and you know it

I leave everything, go alone, with your love

...

[Spanish]

Piensas que será muy fácil si te vas llorando

Tú que me conoces crees convencerme así

Quiero que te enteres pronto que seguir jugando

Es algo que nunca más conseguirás de mi

Sé que me engañaste un día con aquel amigo

Sé por los demás que andabas siempre por ahí

Tú que me dejaste, tú que me engañaste, tú que me humillaste

Quieres que te diga vuelve solo porque si

Me marcho lejos la distancia es mi destino

Y solamente mi destino puede hablar

Me marcho lejos y quizás en mi camino

Otras manos, otro amor podré encontrar

Me marcho lejos porque sé que soy cobarde

Te tengo miedo y es la única razón

He de perderte no me importa y tú lo sabes

Dejo todo vete sola, con tu amor

Piensas que será muy fácil si te vas llorando

Tú que me conoces crees convencerme así

Quiero que te enteres pronto que seguir jugando

Es algo que nunca más conseguirás de mi

Era mi mejor amigo y esto tú lo sabías

Poco te importaba entonces reírte de mi

Besos en la noche, risas en la calle, llanto en la mañana

Yo no sé cómo te atreves volver hasta mi

Me marcho lejos la distancia es mi destino

Y solamente mi destino puede hablar

Me marcho lejos y quizás en mi camino

Otras manos, otro amor podré encontrar

Me marcho lejos porque sé que soy cobarde

Te tengo miedo y es la única razón

He de perderte no me importa y tú lo sabes

Dejo todo vete sola, con tu amor
