[English]

Forget who I am

And let’s talk man to man

Maybe your heart still holds

Some blame for me

Surely when we broke

We hurt you deeply

A thousand sleepless nights

A thousand nights awake.

Maybe without understanding

Why I had left

Why I had left.

I did understand you

From the very start

Their situation, no doubt

Was beyond repair

Maybe it’s better this way

Both of us living apart

You in one room, she

In the big house

While you and I

No one can ever separate

Because deep inside us burns

The force of blood

The force of love

The force of blood

That always united us

We’re flesh and bone

Even if I’m far from you

I’ll stay close to

Always help you with whatever

You need.

And may you be happy, you

Truly deserve it

May you find the woman

Who’s always by your side.

I love you more than before

Because deep inside us burns

The force of love

The force of blood

The force of love

The force of blood

That always united us

We’re flesh and bone

Even if I’m far

From you, I’ll stay close

To always help you

With whatever you need

And may you be happy

You truly deserve it

May you find the woman

Who’s always by your side.

I love you more than before

Because deep inside us burns

The force of love

The force of blood.

[Spanish]

Olvida quien soy yo

Y hablemos de hombre a hombre

Quisas tu corazon me guarde

Algun reproche

Seguro q al romper

Te hicimos mucho daño

Mil noches sin dormir

Mil noches desvelado.

Quizas sin comprender

Por que me habia marchado

Por que me habia marchado.

Yo si te comprendi

Desde el primer momento

Lo suyo sin dudar

Ya no tenia remedio

Quizas mejor asi

Los dos viviendo aparte

Tu en una habitacion ella

En la casa grande

Mientras que a ti y a mi

No habra quien nos separe

Por que nos hierbe dentro

La fuerza de la sangre

La fuerza del amor

La fuerza de la sangre

Que siempre nos unio

Que somos uña y carne

Aunque me encuentre lejos de ti

Estare muy cerca para

Ayudarte siempre para lo que

Tu quieras.

Y tu que seas feliz que

Bien te lo mereces

Que encuentres la mujer

Que te acompane siempre.

Te quiero mas que antes

Y es que nos hierbe dentro

La fuerza del amor

La fuerza de la sangre

La fuerza del amor

La fuerza de la sangre

Que siempre nos unio

Que somos uña y carne

Aunque me encuentre lejos

De ti estare muy cerca

Para ayudarte simpre

Para lo que tu quieras

Y tu que seas feliz

Que bien te lo mereces

Que encuentres la mujer

Que te acompane siempre.

Te quiero mas que antes

Y esque nos hierbe dentro

La fuerza del amor

La fuerza de la sangre.
