Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Si por cosas del destino

If by some twist of fate

Un día tú y yo nos despedimos

One day you and I say goodbye

...

...

Ay, yo no sé qué comería

Oh, I don't know what I would eat

O de qué me reiría

Or what I would laugh about

Porque el mundo sin ti no me lo imagino

Because I can't imagine the world without you

Si por cosas de la vida

If by chance in life

Llega el hombre que por fin te merecías

The man who finally deserved you arrives

Y si él es tu alma gemela

And if he is your soulmate

Yo me quito aunque me duela

I'll step aside even if it hurts

Y hasta dos o tres consejos le daría

And I'd even give him two or three pieces of advice

No te preocupes por mí

Don't worry about me

Yo me las arreglaría

I would manage

Pa' cambiarme de cabeza

To change my head

Pa' otra que no sea la mía

For another that isn't mine

Y no pensar en ti, ya no pensar en ti

And not think about you, to no longer think about you

Y aunque te den

And even if they give you

El doble de caricias

Double the caresses

Y el triple de los besos que te di

And triple the kisses that I gave you

Y aunque te den

And even if they give you

Veintiún rosas al día y mil veces digan que mueren por ti

Twenty-one roses a day and a thousand times say they'd die for you

Ay, si te dan todo eso, me quito el sombrero

Oh, if they give you all that, I'll tip my hat

Pero nadie va a quererte la mitad

But no one will love you half

De lo que yo a ti te quiero

Of what I love you

...

...

No te preocupes por mí

Don't worry about me

Yo me las arreglaría

I would manage

Pa' cambiarme de cabeza

To change my head

Pa' otra que no sea la mía

For another that isn't mine

Y no pensar en ti, ya no pensar en ti

And not think about you, to no longer think about you

Y aunque te den

And even if they give you

El doble de caricias

Double the caresses

Y el triple de los besos que te di

And triple the kisses that I gave you

Y aunque te den

And even if they give you

Veintiún rosas al día

Twenty-one roses a day

Y mil veces digan que mueren por ti

And a thousand times say they'd die for you

Ay, si te dan todo eso, me quito el sombrero

Oh, if they give you all that, I'll tip my hat

Pero nadie va a quererte la mitad

But no one will love you half

De lo que yo a ti te quiero

Of what I love you

De lo que yo a ti te quiero

Of what I love you

...
