[English]

I

Gave you all my love and more

And you

Don't even know what it means to love

I

Put myself completely at your feet

And you paid me back with nothing but contempt, but now look

If I once said that I loved you, today I regret it

If I once said that I loved you, I don't know what I was thinking, I was crazy

If I once said that I loved you

And that I'd give my life for you

If I once said that I loved you, I won't do it again

That mistake is a thing of the past

...

I

Know that one day you'll come back

And you

Will regret everything

I

Put myself completely at your feet

And you paid me back with nothing but contempt, but now look

If I once said that I loved you, today I regret it

If I once said that I loved you, I don't know what I was thinking, I was crazy

If I once said that I loved you

And that I'd give my life for you

If I once said that I loved you, I won't do it again

That mistake is a thing of the past

...

If I once said that I loved you

And that I'd give my life for you

If I once said that I loved you, I won't do it again

That mistake is a thing of the past

...

[Spanish]

Yo

Te di todo mi amor y más

Y tú

No reconoces ni lo que es amar

Yo

Me puse dispuesta a tus pies

Y tan solo con desprecio me has pagado, pero ahora ve

Si una vez dije que te amaba, hoy me arrepiento

Si una vez dije que te amaba, no sé lo que pensé, estaba loca

Si una vez dije que te amaba

Y que por ti la vida daba

Si una vez dije que te amaba, no lo vuelvo a hacer

Ese error es cosa de ayer

Yo

Sé que un día tú volverás

Y tú

De todo te arrepentirás

Yo

Me puse dispuesta a tus pies

Y tan solo con desprecio me has pagado, pero ahora ve

Si una vez dije que te amaba, hoy me arrepiento

Si una vez dije que te amaba, no sé lo que pensé, estaba loca

Si una vez dije que te amaba

Y que por ti la vida daba

Si una vez dije que te amaba, no lo vuelvo a hacer

Ese error es cosa de ayer

Si una vez dije que te amaba

Y que por ti la vida daba

Si una vez dije que te amaba, no lo vuelvo a hacer

Ese error es cosa de ayer
