[English]

I promised you

That I would forget you

How much you’ve loved

I was able to give you

Alone and wounded

That’s how you leave me

Knowing that tomorrow

You’ll go with someone else

To the altar

You’ll cry

You’ll cry over your stubbornness

If I know

That I am the one you want

You won’t be able

To be happy with anyone else

Because with me

You found

Love

Yes, love

Yes, love

...

If only your eyes could go back

To the moment we met

If you remembered your first smile for me

I am so sure you’d find yourself

With your true love

Just like I found in you

I promised you

That I would forget you

How much you’ve loved

I was able to give you

Alone and wounded

That’s how you leave me

Knowing that tomorrow

You’ll go with someone else

To the altar

You’ll cry

You’ll cry over your stubbornness

If I know

That I am the one you want

You won’t be able

To be happy with anyone else

Because with me

You found

Love

Yes, love

Yes, love

...

[Spanish]

Te he prometido

Que te he de olvidar

Cuánto has querido

Yo te supe dar

Solo y herido

Así me dejás

Sabiendo que mañana

Irás con otro

Al altar

Llorarás

Llorarás por tu capricho

Si yo sé

Que es a mí a quien querés

No podrás

Ser feliz con ningún otro

Pues conmigo

Conociste

El amor

Sí, el amor

Sí, el amor

Si volvieran los ojos atrás

Hasta aquel momento en que nos conocimos

Si recordaras tu primera sonrisa hacia mí

Estoy tan seguro que te encontrarías

Con tu verdadero amor

Como yo lo encontré en ti

Te he prometido

Que te he de olvidar

Cuánto has querido

Yo te supe dar

Solo y herido

Así me dejás

Sabiendo que mañana

Irás con otro

Al altar

Llorarás

Llorarás por tu capricho

Si yo sé

Que es a mí a quien querés

No podrás

Ser feliz con ningún otro

Pues conmigo

Conociste

El amor

Sí, el amor

Sí, el amor
