Lyrics
Español
¿Ves? He tratado inútilmente de alejarme y olvidar... Hoy que hay arrugas en mi frente siento más la soledad... Tal vez, al notarme avejentado, pensarás que vengo a verte porque estoy desesperado... ¡No! Ya los años me enseñaron a templar mi corazón... No he venido a suplicarte ni un poquito de cariño ni a que expliques tu silencio, tus mentiras o tu olvido... No es posible, vieja amiga, nuestras vidas acercar... Solo vine para verte, para verte, nada más... Ya poco falta para irme con mi cruz a otro rincón... Sé que al dejarte voy a hundirme en la desesperación. ¿Será la emoción de mi partida, que quisiera darte un beso aunque deje en él mi vida? ¡Es que tus lágrimas me invitan a besarte y a llorar! No he venido a suplicarte ni un poquito de cariño ni a que expliques tu silencio, tus mentiras o tu olvido... No es posible, vieja amiga, nuestras vidas acercar... Ya me voy... y aquí te dejo toda mi felicidad...

See? I have tried in vain to move away and forget... Today that there are wrinkles on my forehead I feel the loneliness more... Perhaps, when you notice me aging, you'll think I've come to see you because I am desperate... No! The years have taught me to temper my heart... I have not come to beg you not even a little bit of affection nor to explain your silence, your lies or your forgetfulness... It is not possible, old friend, to bring our lives closer... I only came to see you, to see you, nothing more... It won't be long now before I leave with my cross to another corner... I know that when I leave you I'm going to sink in despair. Will it be the emotion of my departure that I would like to give you a kiss even if I leave my life in it? Is it that your tears invite me to kiss you and to cry! I have not come to beg you not even a little bit of affection nor to explain your silence, your lies or your forgetfulness... It is not possible, old friend, to bring our lives closer... I'm leaving now... and here I leave you all my happiness...
