Lyrics
Español
Viéndote alejar te supliqué Mas todo en vano fue ... Ya no me amabas. Junto con la frase del adiós Moría aquel amor Que tanto idolatré. La noche fue invadiendo el alma mía Y en esta oscuridad me pregunté: ¿Qué es lo que faltó? ¿Qué no te di? Si sólo para ti Vivía yo, corazón. Si yo pudiera comprender Qué razón te alejó, Si yo pudiera comprender ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué he perdido tu querer? ¿Por qué? La vida, el alma, el corazón Daría por tu amor, Tu amor que ya no está... Por eso en esta soledad Pienso aún, qué pasó? Ya no alumbra el sol en mi vivir Y siento que sin ti La vida es triste... Tanto te entregué mi corazón Que sólo me quedó Despojos nada más... Mis ojos quieren verte a cada instante ... Y sólo puedo ver mi gran dolor... Tanto que te amé... ¿Y para qué? Si al fin, al fin, ¡Ya ves! Sufriendo estoy por tu amor.

Seeing you go away I begged you But all in vain ... You no longer loved me. Together with the farewell phrase That love died That I idolized so much. The night was invading my soul And in this darkness I asked myself: What was missing, what didn't I give you? If only for you I lived, my heart. If I could understand What reason drove you away, If I could understand Why? Why have I lost your love? Why? My life, my soul, my heart I would give for your love, Your love that is no more... That's why in this loneliness I still think, what happened? The sun no longer shines on my life And I feel that without you Life is sad... I gave you my heart so much That all that's left for me Nothing more than scraps... My eyes want to see you at every moment ... And I can only see my great pain... So much I loved you... And for what? If at last, at last, you see! I'm suffering for your love.
