[English]

My darling

This goodbye is killing me

Today, with tears in my eyes

I say goodbye to you

I don't want to leave

Not even God knows how much it hurts me

Yes, we were very happy

But today it ends

I wish I had never discovered your infamous deceit

Today my poor heart is dying

I am leaving you while loving you, I cannot hate you

Despite so much damage

...

I always gave you my whole life

And I gave myself completely

You were the reason for my existence

And today you turn off my light and I am stripped of your love

I never expected this pain that you have caused my heart today

But because I love you, I wish for you to be happy

And that you are never hurt the way you have hurt me

I wish I had never discovered your infamous deceit

Today my poor heart is dying

I am leaving you while loving you, I cannot hate you

Despite so much damage

Because I will always love you

...

[Spanish]

Cariño mío

Esta despedida me está matando

Hoy, con lágrimas en mis ojos

Te digo adiós

No quiero irme

Ni Dios lo sabe que me duele tanto

Sí, fuimos muy felices

Pero hoy se termina

Nunca hubiera descubierto tu infame engaño

Hoy mi pobre corazón está muriendo

Me voy amándote, no puedo odiarte

A pesar de tanto daño

Siempre te di toda mi vida

Y me entregué por completo

Tú eras la razón de mi existencia

Y hoy apagas mi luz y me quitan tu amor

Nunca esperé este dolor que hoy le has hecho a mi corazón

Pero porque te quiero, te deseo que seas feliz

Y nunca te hieran como me has hecho a mí

Nunca hubiera descubierto tu infame engaño

Hoy mi pobre corazón está muriendo

Me voy amándote, no puedo odiarte

A pesar de tanto daño

Porque siempre te querré
