[English]

I'm still alive

Breathing

And I am

Very close

To the goal, I think

Your memory

Doesn't affect me as much anymore

Something good

Has happened

And today I've returned

To smile again

And that's good

I'm getting there

We're doing well

Little by little I'm getting out of this sad story

And although it's not easy, soon I will claim victory and

I'm going to forget you, I'm going to forget you

We're doing well

Little by little it's closing and the wound will heal

And although the blow was strong, my forehead is held high and

I'm going to forget you, I'm going to forget you

It's not like you were worth that much

It's just a matter of time

And I swear to you

That I'm going to forget you

...

We're doing well

Little by little I'm getting out of this sad story

And although it's not easy, soon I will claim victory and

I'm going to forget you, I'm going to forget you

We're doing well

Little by little it's closing and the wound will heal

And although the blow was strong, my forehead is held high and

I'm going to forget you, I'm going to forget you

It's not like you were worth that much

It's just a matter of time

And I swear to you

That I'm going to forget you

...

[Spanish]

Sigo vivo

Respirando

Y estoy

Muy cerca

De la meta creo

Su recuerdo

Ya no me afecta tanto

Algo bueno

Ha ocurrido

Y hoy he vuelto

A sonreír de nuevo

Y eso es bueno

Ahí la llevo

Vamos bien

Poco a poco voy saliendo de esta triste historia

Y aunque no está fácil pronto cantaré victoria y

Te voy a olvidar, te voy a olvidar

Vamos bien

Poco a poco va cerrando y sanará la herida

Y aunque el golpe estuvo fuerte, está mi frente arriba y

Te voy a olvidar, te voy a olvidar

Ni que valieras tanto

Solo es cuestión de tiempo

Y te lo juro

Que te voy a olvidar

Vamos bien

Poco a poco voy saliendo de esta triste historia

Y aunque no está fácil pronto cantaré victoria y

Te voy a olvidar, te voy a olvidar

Vamos bien

Poco a poco va cerrando y sanará la herida

Y aunque el golpe estuvo fuerte, está mi frente arriba y

Te voy a olvidar, te voy a olvidar

Ni que valieras tanto

Solo es cuestión de tiempo

Y te lo juro

Que te voy a olvidar
