[English]

For her love

You've done things you'd never do for me

The same things that I foolishly did for you

You don't smoke or drink at parties anymore

Because he asked you to

But I know

That someone can do the same with my love

Then nobody's going to break my heart

Because you left and took off with him

And if your love doesn't return

I'll have to settle for photographs

I'll have to make an album with my joys

And all the moments I lived with you

I'll be a collector

If your love doesn't return

Kicking the walls with so many memories

Scratching my life with so much silence

Because I haven't had you for a long time

It's that a damn fool stole your body from me

My heart is wounded

And the song bleeds

I can't be without you anymore

And if your love doesn't return

I'll have to settle for photographs

I'll have to make an album with my joys

And all the moments I lived with you

Because a damn fool stole your dreams from me

...

...

Enjoy it, Colombia!

...

For your love

I gave up my life to live my life

I wasted my dreams to live your dreams

And today you leave and also have the luxury

Of telling him about them

I will hate you

If you don't come back, there's no cure, I'll hate you

And although time seems absurd, I'll love you

Because, it's clear, I can't live without you

And if your love doesn't return

My soul will go looking for you far from my body

Carrying two suitcases full of silence

Crying to some fool because I don't have you

And it's that a damn fool stole your body from me

And my heart is wounded

And the song bleeds

I can't be without you anymore

And if your love doesn't return

I'll have to settle for photographs

I'll have to make an album with my joys

And all the moments I lived with you

I'll be a collector, if your love doesn't return

[Spanish]

Por su amor

Has hecho cosas que jamás harías por mí

Las, las mismas que de tonto hice por ti

Ya no fumas y no bebes en reuniones

Porque él te lo pidió

Pero sé

Que alguien puede hacer lo mismo con mi amor

Entonces nadie va a romperme el corazón

Pues tú te fuiste y te largaste junto a él

Y si tu amor no vuelve

Me toca conformarme con fotografías

Me toca hacer un álbum con mis alegrías

Y todos los momentos que viví contigo

Seré un coleccionista

Si tu amor no vuelve

Pateando las paredes con tanto recuerdo

Rayándome la vida con tanto silencio

Porque hace mucho tiempo que ya no te tengo

Es que un maldito imbécil me robó tu cuerpo

Tengo herido el corazón

Y me sangra la canción

Ya no puedo estar sin ti

Y si tu amor no vuelve

Me toca conformarme con fotografías

Me toca hacer un álbum con mis alegrías

Y todos los momentos que viví contigo

Porque un maldito imbécil me robó tus sueños

¡Goza Colombia!

Por tu amor

Renuncié a mi vida por vivir mi vida

Malgasté mis sueños por vivir tus sueños

Y hoy te largas y además te das el lujo

De contárselos a él

Te odiaré

Si no vuelves, no hay remedio, te odiaré

Y aunque parezca absurdo el tiempo, te amaré

Pues, está claro, no puedo vivir sin ti

Y si tu amor no vuelve

El alma irá a buscarte lejos de mi cuerpo

Cargando dos valijas llenas de silencio

Llorándole, un imbécil porque no te tengo

Y es que un maldito imbécil me robó tu cuerpo

Y tengo herido el corazón

Y me sangra la canción

Ya no puedo estar sin ti

Y si tu amor no vuelve

Tendré que conformarme con fotografías

Tendré que hacer un álbum con mis alegrías

Y todos los momentos que viví contigo

Seré un coleccionista, si tu amor no vuelve
