[English]

You tell me you're leaving

That it's all over now

That love no longer exists

The magic has faded

You ask me what's best

To forget the past

That what we had was good

For as long as it lasted...

I know it's not like that

You're mistaken

These are just tough moments

Problems between us two

You're leaving because you're leaving

And there's nothing I can do

But you'll miss me

And you'll miss my love...

You'll see

No one will ever love you like I do

You'll see

How hard it is to let go of my hand

You'll see

When you feel lonely in another bed

And I'm not there

When you cry, hugging your pillow

I know it's not like that

You're mistaken

These are just tough moments

Problems between us two

You're leaving because you're leaving

And there's nothing I can do

But you'll miss me

And you'll miss my love

You'll see

No one will ever love you like I do

You'll see

How hard it is to let go of my hand

You'll see

When you feel lonely in another bed

And I'm not there

When you cry, hugging your pillow

[Spanish]

Me dices que te vas

Que todo ha terminado

Que ya no existe amor

La magia se acabó

Me pides que es mejor

Olvidar el pasado

Que lo nuestro fué bueno

El tiempo que duró...

Yo sé que no es así

Que estás equivocada

Que son malos momentos

Problemas de los dos

Te vas porque te vas

Y no puedo hacer nada

Pero vas a extrañarme

Y extrañarás mi amor...

Vas a ver

Nadie nunca te amará como te amo

Vas a ver

Lo difícil que es soltarte de mi mano

Vas a ver

Cuando sientas soledad en otra cama

Y no esté

Cuando llores abrazada con tu almohada

Yo sé que no es así

Que estás equivocada

Que son malos momentos

Problemas de los dos

Te vas porque te vas

Y no puedo hacer nada

Pero vas a extrañarme

Y extrañarás mi amor

Vas a ver

Nadie nunca te amará como te amo

Vas a ver

Lo difícil que es soltarte de mi mano

Vas a ver

Cuando sientas soledad en otra cama

Y no esté

Cuando llores abrazada con tu almohada
