[English]

You arrived just when I least expected you

And you left without even saying goodbye

I realized that without you, I couldn't be anyone

If you're not here, my love, what's the point of living?

...

What's wrong, my heart?

...

What strange things love has?

...

I didn't mean to fall in love

Surprisingly like this

Now you must forgive me

For my love

That is you

...

What's wrong, my heart?

...

What strange things love has?

...

I didn't mean to fall in love

Surprisingly like this

...

Now you must forgive me

For my love

That is you

...

I bless the hour I met you

I curse the moment I saw you leave

[Spanish]

Tú llegaste justo cuando menos te esperaba

Y te fuiste sin decirme ni siquiera adiós

Me di cuenta que sin ti, no podía ser yo nadie

Si me faltas tú, mi amor, ¿para qué vivir?

¿Qué te pasa corazón?

¿Qué cosas tiene el amor?

Yo no quise enamorarme

Sorpresivamente así

Ahora debes perdonarme

Por mi amor

Que eres tú

¿Qué te pasa corazón?

¿Qué cosas tiene el amor?

Yo no quise enamorarme

Sorpresivamente así

Ahora debes perdonarme

Por mi amor

Que eres tú

Bendigo la hora que te conocí

Maldigo el momento en que te vi partir
