Translation of the song lyrics Preferí Perderte - Celia Cruz

Preferí Perderte (original)

Ahora que estamos separados
Dime, por fin, sinceramente
Si ya me has olvidado
(fue mi ambición tenerte)
Para siempre a mi lado
Mas preferí, preferí perderte
Porque te has obstinado
(si vives escondida de tu propio corazón)
(por ti lo siento)
Demuéstrate a ti mismo la verdad
Aunque te cause sufrimientos
Dime, por fin, qué sientes
Ahora que estamos separados
Dime, por fin, sinceramente
Si ya me has olvidado
(si vives escondida de tu propio corazón)
(por ti lo siento)
Demuéstrate a ti mismo la verdad
Aunque te cause sufrimiento
Dime, por fin, qué sientes
Ahora que estamos separados
Dime, por fin, sinceramente
Si ya me has olvidado
(si ya me has olvidado)
Si ya me has olvidado
(Gracias a Francisco Sedano por esta letra)

Preferí Perderte (translation)

Now that we're apart
Tell me, finally, honestly
If you have already forgotten me
(it was my ambition to have you)
forever by my side
But I preferred, I preferred to lose you
Because you have been obstinate
(if you live hidden from your own heart)
(I'm sorry for you)
Prove yourself the truth
Even if it causes you suffering
Tell me, finally, what do you feel?
Now that we're apart
Tell me, finally, honestly
If you have already forgotten me
(if you live hidden from your own heart)
(I'm sorry for you)
Prove yourself the truth
Even if it causes you suffering
Tell me, finally, what do you feel?
Now that we're apart
Tell me, finally, honestly
If you have already forgotten me
(if you have already forgotten me)
If you have already forgotten me
(Thanks to Francisco Sedano for these lyrics)
