[English]

I know I should be stronger

To forbid myself from entering your mind

And not to think that you're no longer here

That everything is different now

That I have lost you forever

And in the end, there's nothing left

But to erase what we were from my memory

And try to find another way

If it were easy, I’d forget you today

And erase every trace of this love

If it were easy, the illusion would fade away

And I wouldn’t be here, life so fragile

Wishing that loving you wasn't easy

...

Even though time has passed

I still live with your memory

My heart still hasn't said goodbye

I know I shouldn't miss what we once were

Because you're far from my path now (from my path)

If it were easy, I’d forget you today

And erase every trace of this love

If it were easy, the illusion would fade away

And I wouldn’t be here, life so fragile

Wishing that loving you wasn't easy

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh

Oh-oh

If it were easy

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Uh-no

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh-oh

If it were easy, the illusion would fade away

And I wouldn’t be here, life so fragile

Wishing that loving you, mmh-mmh

Was easy

If it were easy

...

[Spanish]

Sé que debo ser más fuerte

Prohibirte entrar aquí en mi mente

Y no pensar que ya no estás

Que ahora todo es diferente

Que te he perdido para siempre

Y que al final no queda más

Que arrancar de mi memoria lo que fuimos

Y tratar de encontrar otro camino

Si fuera fácil, desde hoy te olvidaría

Y borraría cada huella de este amor

Si fuera fácil, la ilusión se alejaría

Y yo no estaría con la vida aquí tan frágil

Deseando que no amarte fuera fácil

Aunque ya ha pasado tiempo

Vivo aún de tu recuerdo

Mi corazón aún no dice adiós

Sé que no debo extrañar lo que un día fuimos

Porque lejos tú ya estás de mi camino (De mi camino)

Si fuera fácil, desde hoy te olvidaría

Y borraría cada huella de este amor

Si fuera fácil, la ilusión se alejaría

Y yo no estaría con la vida aquí tan frágil

Deseando que no amarte fuera fácil

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Uoh

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Uoh

Oh-oh

Si fuera fácil

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Uh-no

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh-oh

Si fuera fácil, la ilusión se alejaría

Y yo no estaría con la vida aquí tan frágil

Deseando que no amarte, mmh-mmh

Fuera fácil

Si fuera fácil
