Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Por su amor

For her love

Has hecho cosas que jamás harías por mí

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

Las, las mismas que de tonto hice por ti

The same things that I foolishly did for you

Ya no fumas y no bebes en reuniones

You don't smoke or drink at parties anymore

Porque él te lo pidió

Because he asked you to

Pero sé

But I know

Que alguien puede hacer lo mismo con mi amor

That someone can do the same with my love

Entonces nadie va a romperme el corazón

Then nobody's going to break my heart

Pues tú te fuiste y te largaste junto a él

Because you left and took off with him

Y si tu amor no vuelve

And if your love doesn't return

Me toca conformarme con fotografías

I'll have to settle for photographs

Me toca hacer un álbum con mis alegrías

I'll have to make an album with my joys

Y todos los momentos que viví contigo

And all the moments I lived with you

Seré un coleccionista

I'll be a collector

Si tu amor no vuelve

If your love doesn't return

Pateando las paredes con tanto recuerdo

Kicking the walls with so many memories

Rayándome la vida con tanto silencio

Scratching my life with so much silence

Porque hace mucho tiempo que ya no te tengo

Because I haven't had you for a long time

Es que un maldito imbécil me robó tu cuerpo

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

Tengo herido el corazón

My heart is wounded

Y me sangra la canción

And the song bleeds

Ya no puedo estar sin ti

I can't be without you anymore

Y si tu amor no vuelve

And if your love doesn't return

Me toca conformarme con fotografías

I'll have to settle for photographs

Me toca hacer un álbum con mis alegrías

I'll have to make an album with my joys

Y todos los momentos que viví contigo

And all the moments I lived with you

Porque un maldito imbécil me robó tus sueños

Because a damn fool stole your dreams from me

¡Goza Colombia!

Por tu amor

For your love

Renuncié a mi vida por vivir mi vida

I gave up my life to live my life

Malgasté mis sueños por vivir tus sueños

I wasted my dreams to live your dreams

Y hoy te largas y además te das el lujo

And today you leave and also have the luxury

De contárselos a él

Of telling him about them

Te odiaré

I will hate you

Si no vuelves, no hay remedio, te odiaré

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

Y aunque parezca absurdo el tiempo, te amaré

And although time seems absurd, I'll love you

Pues, está claro, no puedo vivir sin ti

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

Y si tu amor no vuelve

And if your love doesn't return

El alma irá a buscarte lejos de mi cuerpo

My soul will go looking for you far from my body

Cargando dos valijas llenas de silencio

Carrying two suitcases full of silence

Llorándole, un imbécil porque no te tengo

Crying to some fool because I don't have you

Y es que un maldito imbécil me robó tu cuerpo

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

Y tengo herido el corazón

And my heart is wounded

Y me sangra la canción

And the song bleeds

Ya no puedo estar sin ti

I can't be without you anymore

Y si tu amor no vuelve

And if your love doesn't return

Tendré que conformarme con fotografías

I'll have to settle for photographs

Tendré que hacer un álbum con mis alegrías

I'll have to make an album with my joys

Y todos los momentos que viví contigo

And all the moments I lived with you

Seré un coleccionista, si tu amor no vuelve

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