Lyrics

Español

Es inútil que me expliques Lo que yo ya he comprendido, Sobran todas las palabras Cuando hiere el desamor. No me extraña tu inconsciencia Ni me extraña tu desvío, Yo sé bien que no se puede Gobernar al corazón. Si mi orgullo te condena Te perdona mi conciencia, Es muy justo que te alejes Si no sientes más amor. No me extraña tu abandono Pero extraño tu presencia, Porque cuesta acostumbrarse A la ausencia y al dolor. Me quisiste, me dejaste, Qué te puedo reprochar, Hoy, estamos como antes Volveremos a empezar. No me extraña tu partida Ni me asombra mi dolor, Eso es cosa de la vida Que hoy nos quita, Lo que ayer nos dio. Es por eso que te digo Frente a frente y sin encono, Que después de haber vivido Por mi bien o por mi mal, No me extraña tu abandono, Porque en cosas del cariño Nada tengo que extrañar.

English · machine translation

It is useless for you to explain to me What I have already understood, All words are superfluous When it hurts the lack of love. I'm not surprised by your unconsciousness Nor am I surprised by your deviation, I know well that one cannot To rule the heart. If my pride condemns you My conscience forgives you, It's only fair that you turn away If you no longer feel love. I don't miss your abandonment But I miss your presence, Because it's hard to get used To absence and pain. You loved me, you left me, What can I reproach you for, Today, we are as before We'll start again. I don't miss your departure Nor am I astonished by my pain, That's a thing of life That today takes from us What yesterday gave us. That's why I tell you Face to face and without bitterness, That after having lived For my good or for my bad, I'm not surprised by your abandonment, Because in things of affection I have nothing to miss.
