All alone, knowing

Knowing

That you won't return,

That you won't return.

I want you to understand,

That for your love,

I would go as far as sacrifice,

And for you...

Don't leave me alone

Because I can't live without you,

Don't leave me alone,

ouuuoohh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Don't leave me alone

For it will be my death,

If you walk away from me

ouuuuuoohh oooh ohhh ohhh

In this life I have never loved,

Like I love you.

Don't leave me alone

ouuuhhhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Don't leave me alone,

For it will be my death

If you walk away from me,

ouuuuuohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

Don't leave me alone...

Solo, al saber

Que te vas de mi,

Al saber

Que no volveras,

Que no volveras.

Quiero que comprendas,

Que por tu amor,

llegará hasta el sacrificio,

Y por Ti...

No me dejes solo

Que no vivo sin ti,

No me dejes solo,

ouuuoohh ohhh ohhh ohhh

No me dejes solo

Que mi muerte será,

Si te alejas de mi

ouuuuuoohh oooh ohhh ohhh

En la vida no amé,

Como te quiero a ti.
