[English]

I'd be lying if I said that without you, life goes on the same

That your departure doesn't hurt and that, finally, I've managed to forget you

To say that it doesn't affect me to see you with someone else

Not even I myself would believe that, either

It would be looking in the mirror and wanting to deceive myself

Because I still love you and I'm still in love

I can't find a way to forget you

To tear your love out by the roots

Because I still love you and I'm abandoned

What I wouldn't do to kiss you again

And be able to wake up by your side

Because I still love you

Your memory is present in everything around me

...

There is no distance or oblivion that will take you out of my heart

I miss every moment I lived with you

My life without your love, I swear, is a punishment

Come back to me again, I beg your forgiveness

Because I still love you and I'm still in love

I can't find a way to forget you

To tear your love out by the roots

Because I still love you and I'm abandoned

What I wouldn't do to kiss you again

And be able to wake up by your side

Because I still love you

...

Because I still love you and I'm still in love

What I wouldn't do to kiss you again

And be able to wake up by your side

Because I still love you

I'd be lying if I said that without you, life goes on the same

...

[Spanish]

Mentiría si dijera que sin ti la vida sigue igual

Que no duele tu partida y que, por fin, ya te logré olvidar

Decir que no me afecta verte ya con otro

No me lo creería ni yo mismo, tampoco

Sería mirarme al espejo y quererme engañar

Porque aún te amo y sigo enamorado

No encuentro el modo de olvidarme de ti

De arrancarme tu amor de raíz

Porque aún te amo y estoy abandonado

Lo que no haría por volverte a besar

Y a tu lado poder despertar

Porque aún te amo

Tu recuerdo está presente en cada cosa a mi alrededor

No hay distancia ni hay olvido que te saquen de mi corazón

Extraño cada instante que viví contigo

Mi vida sin tu amor, te juro, es un castigo

Regresa de nuevo conmigo, te pido perdón

Porque aún te amo y sigo enamorado

No encuentro el modo de olvidarme de ti

De arrancarme tu amor de raíz

Porque aún te amo y estoy abandonado

Lo que no haría por volverte a besar

Y a tu lado poder despertar

Porque aún te amo

Porque aún te amo y sigo enamorado

Lo que no haría por volverte a besar

Y a tu lado poder despertar

Porque aún te amo

Mentiría si dijera que sin ti la vida sigue igual
