Translation of the song lyrics Pero Me Fui - Edith Márquez

Pero Me Fui (original)

Me miré al espejo, no vi nada y decidí hacerme la fuerte
Nunca dije cuanto había llorado y tampoco se notó
No sé en que momento renuncié al trabajo intenso de quererme
Fui culpable, víctima y verdugo, fui de todo menos yo
Y me quedé, pensé que no tenía el valor para dejarte
Y me callé, pues en silencio me veía importante
Me equivoqué cuando creí que perdería todo y más de lo que di
Y me quedé, y me arrepentí
Fue tan fácil esconder la risa, la dulzura y la entreza
Nunca supe como pero un día me olvidé de ser feliz
Fui perdiendo un poco la humildad, y un poco la belleza
Fui culpable, víctima y verdugo, fui de todo menos yo
Y me quedé, pensé que no tenía el valor para dejarte
Y me callé, pues en silencio me veía importante
Me equivoqué, cuando creí, que perdería todo y mas de lo que di
Y me quedé, y me arrepentí
Porque debí dejarte mucho antes
Debí dejar el suelo y caminar hacia adelante
Cuando entendí era demasiado, demasiado tarde
Y me quedé, pensé que no tenía el valor para dejarte
Y me callé, pues en silencio me veía importante
Me equivoqué cuando creí que perdería todo y más de lo que di
Pero me fui
Y no me arrepentí
Y no me arrepentí

(translation)

I looked in the mirror, I didn't see anything and I decided to play it strong
I never said how much she had cried and it didn't show either
I don't know at what point I gave up the intense work of loving myself
I was guilty, victim and executioner, I was everything but me
And I stayed, I thought I didn't have the courage to leave you
And I kept quiet, because in silence I thought I was important
I was wrong when I thought I would lose everything and more than what I gave
And I stayed, and I regretted
It was so easy to hide the laughter, the sweetness and the frown
I never knew how but one day I forgot to be happy
I was losing a little humility, and a little beauty
I was guilty, victim and executioner, I was everything but me
And I stayed, I thought I didn't have the courage to leave you
And I kept quiet, because in silence I thought I was important
I was wrong, when I believed, that I would lose everything and more than what I gave
And I stayed, and I regretted
Because I should have left you long before
I should have left the ground and walked forward
When I understood it was too much too late
And I stayed, I thought I didn't have the courage to leave you
And I kept quiet, because in silence I thought I was important
I was wrong when I thought I would lose everything and more than what I gave
but i left
And I didn't regret it
And I didn't regret it
