[English]

Today, once again

I find myself alone and sad

Thinking about what could have been

But wasn't

At this very moment, I am

Missing you so much

Remembering those moments

When we were together, walking side by side

Remembering all those places

From our romantic dates

What kind of heart did you have

That was so capable of forgetting me?

Forgetting me

My love

What kind of heart did you have

That could just leave me?

What powerful reasons must you have

That my heart

Is already feeling that it has lost you

That it has already lost you

...

What kind of heart did you have

That was so capable of forgetting me?

Forgetting me

My love

What kind of heart did you have

That could just leave me?

What powerful reasons must you have

That my heart

Is already feeling that it has lost you

That it has already lost you

And I am

Inconsolable

Because I can't accept losing you

And I am

Inconsolable

Because I need you

...

[Spanish]

Hoy un día más

Me encuentro solo y triste

Pensando en lo que pudo ser

Y no lo fue

En este momento estoy

Extrañandote mucho

Recordando aquellos instantes

Donde estuvimos juntos y paseábamos juntos

Recordando todos aquellos lugares

De nuestras citas de amor

Que corazón tuviste tú

Que fue tan capaz de olvidarse de mí

De mi

Amor

Que corazón tuviste tú

Que me pudo abandonar

Que motivos tan fuertes tendrás

Que ya mi corazón

Está sintiendo que ya te perdió

Que ya te perdió

Que corazón tuviste tú

Que fue tan capaz de olvidarse de mí

De mi

Amor

Que corazón tuviste tú

Que me pudo abandonar

Qué motivos tan fuertes tendrás

Que ya mi corazón

Está sintiendo que ya te perdió

Que ya te perdió

Y estoy

Inconsolable

Porque no me resigno a perderte

Y estoy

Inconsolable

Porque me haces falta tú
