[English]

Could it be that you took something of me

The day that you left

Could it be that I was too used to you

That is why I am sad

Could it be because the night is long

Could it be because the night is cold

That is why I can't sleep

That is why I can't sleep

Could it be because I gave you everything

And I was left with nothing

Could it be because I put my soul into you

And you never fell in love with me

And you never fell in love with me

That is surely why

That is why I am sad now

That is why I am sad now

...

Could it be because I put my soul into you

And you never fell in love with me

And you never fell in love with me

That is surely why

That is why I am sad now

That is why I am sad now

And you never fell in love with me

And you never fell in love with me

That is surely why

That is why I am sad now

That is why I am sad now

Could it be because I gave you everything

And I was left with nothing

Could it be because I put my soul into you

...

Could it be that you took something of me

The day that you left

Could it be that I was too used to you

...

[Spanish]

Será que te llevaste algo de mi

El día que te fuiste

Será que estaba acostumbrado a ti

Por lo que yo estoy triste

Será porque la noche es larga

Será porque la noche es fría

Por lo que estoy desvelado

Por lo que estoy desvelado

Será porque te he dado todo

Y yo, no me quedé con nada

Será por que yo puse el alma en ti

Y tú, jamás te enamoraste de mi

Y tú, jamás te enamoraste de mi

Será seguramente por eso

Por lo que ahora estoy triste

Por lo que ahora estoy triste

Será porque yo puse el alma en ti

Y tú, jamás te enamoraste de mi

Y tú, jamás te enamoraste de mi

Será seguramente por eso

Por lo que ahora estoy triste

Por lo que ahora estoy triste

Y tú, jamás te enamoraste de mi

Y tú, jamás te enamoraste de mi

Será seguramente por eso

Por lo que ahora estoy triste

Por lo que ahora estoy triste

Será porque te he dado todo

Y yo, no me quedé con nada

Será por que yo puse el alma en ti

Será que te llevaste algo de mi

El día que te fuiste

Será que estaba acostumbrado
