[English]

Without You

I feel like life is slipping away from me

That everything I want is no longer here

That there’s no reason for me to live

Without You

I have nothing good to say

My story is coming to its end

Because I don’t know how to live without you

Maybe I should toughen up and endure

Find other loves and face

The harsh reality that I’ve lost you

Like this, trying to be someone else, to change

It would only last a little longer

But it’s not living, if you’re not with me

Without You

I can’t even imagine or think

That I could ever live again

A great love, without you

Without You

I have nothing good to say

My story is coming to its end

Because I don’t know how to live without you

Maybe I should toughen up and endure

Find other loves and face

The harsh reality that I’ve lost you

Like this, trying to be someone else, to change

It would only last a little longer

But it’s not living, if you’re not with me

Without You

I can’t even imagine or think

That I could ever live again

A great love, without you

[Spanish]

Sin ti

Yo siento que la vida se me va

Que todo lo que quiero ya no está

Que no hay una razón para que viva

Sin ti

No tengo nada bueno que contar

Mi historia va llegando a su final

Porque no sé vivir sin ti

Tal vez tendría que ser macho y aguantar

Buscar otros amores y enfrentar

La cruda realidad que te he perdido

Así, tratando de ser otro de cambiar

Tan solo duraría un poco más

Que no es vivir, si ya no estas conmigo

Sin ti

No puedo imaginarlo ni pensar

Que pueda nuevamente yo vivir

Un gran amor, sin ti

Sin ti

No tengo nada bueno que contar

Mi historia va llegando a su final

Porque no sé vivir sin ti

Tal vez tendría que ser macho y aguantar

Buscar otros amores y enfrentar

La cruda realidad que te he perdido

Así, tratando de ser otro de cambiar

Tan solo duraría un poco más

Que no es vivir, si ya no estas conmigo

Sin ti

No puedo imaginarlo ni pensar

Que pueda nuevamente yo vivir

Un gran amor, sin ti
