Translation of the song lyrics El Amor De Mi Vida - Camilo Sesto

El Amor De Mi Vida (original)

Me duele más dejarte a ti
Que dejar de vivir
Me duele más tu adiós
Que el peor castigo
Que me imponga Dios
No puedo, ni te quiero olvidar
Ni a nadie me pienso entregar
Sería inútil tratar de huir
Porque adonde voy
Te llevo dentro de mí
CORO:
El amor de mi vida has sido tú
Mi mundo era ciego hasta encontrar tu luz
Hice míos tus gestos, tu risa y tu voz
Tus palabras, tu vida, y tu corazón
El amor de mi vida has sido tú
El amor de mi vida sigues siendo tú
Por lo que más quieras no me arranques de ti
De rodillas te ruego no me dejes así
¿Por qué me das libertad para amar?
Si yo prefiero estar preso de ti
Quizás no supe encontrar la forma
De conocerte y hacerte feliz
CORO
Por más qué pienso no puedo entender
Por qué motivo te pude perder
Porque de pronto me siento perdido
En la espalda de tu olvido
Tu silencio y tu desdén

(translation)

It hurts me more to leave you
what to stop living
Your goodbye hurts me more
that the worst punishment
May God impose me
I can't, nor do I want to forget you
I do not intend to give myself to anyone
It would be useless to try to run away
because where am I going
I keep you inside of me
CHORUS:
The love of my life has been you
My world was blind until I found your light
I made your gestures, your laugh and your voice mine
Your words, your life, and your heart
The love of my life has been you
The love of my life is still you
For what you want most, don't tear me away from you
On my knees I beg you don't leave me like this
Why do you give me freedom to love?
If I prefer to be a prisoner of you
Maybe I didn't know how to find the way
To meet you and make you happy
CHORUS
As much as I think I can't understand
For what reason could I lose you
Because suddenly I feel lost
On the back of your oblivion
Your silence and your disdain
