Lyrics

Español

Ya no estás más a mi lado, corazón, en el alma sólo tengo soledad y si ya no puedo verte, porque Dios me hizo quererte para hacerme sufrir más... Siempre fuiste la razón de mi existir, adorarte para mí fue religión. Y en tus besos yo encontraba el calor que me brindaba, el amor y la pasión. Es la historia de un amor, como no hay otro igual. Que me hizo comprender, todo el bien todo el mal, que le dio luz a mi vida, apagandola después. ¡Ay, qué vida tan oscura, corazón, sin tu amor no viviré!

English · machine translation

You are no longer by my side, my heart, in my soul I have only loneliness and if I can no longer see you because God made me love you to make me suffer more... You were always the reason for my existence, adoring you for me was religion. And in your kisses I found the warmth that gave me love and passion. It is the story of a love like no other like it. That made me understand, all the good all the evil, that gave light to my life, and then extinguished it. Oh, what a dark life, my heart, without your love I will not live!
