| Hace ya bastante tiempo no sabía de ti
| I haven't heard from you for a long time
|
| Encontrarte de la mano y verte tan feliz
| Finding you hand in hand and seeing you so happy
|
| Mi mundo se cayó aunque no se me notó
| My world fell although it was not noticed
|
| Te acercaste y preguntaste cómo estoy
| You came over and asked how I'm doing
|
| Te mentí cuando te dije: «De lo mejor»
| I lied to you when I told you: "The best"
|
| Pero en mi mente pasó: ¿por qué es ella y no soy yo?
| But in my mind it happened: why is it her and not me?
|
| Qué me faltó para ser la mujer de tu vida
| What did I need to be the woman of your life
|
| Yo tengo tus cartas pero ella tiene tu poesía
| I have your letters but she has your poetry
|
| Qué no te di para que te quisieras quedar
| What didn't I give you to make you want to stay?
|
| Y escogieras mis manos en las noches frías
| And you would choose my hands on cold nights
|
| Yo tendré tu pasado pero ella te tiene para toda la vida
| I will have your past but she has you for life
|
| (¿Qué me faltó?)
| (What did I miss?)
|
| No sabía del fútbol pero aprendí por ti
| I didn't know about football but I learned from you
|
| Aposte por nuestro amor y al final perdí
| I bet on our love and in the end I lost
|
| Te ofrecí mi corazón pero eso no te bastó
| I offered you my heart but that was not enough for you
|
| Hice lo mejor que pude para mostrarte
| I did my best to show you
|
| Que en mis brazos si podías tú quedarte
| That in my arms if you could stay
|
| Qué hizo ella dímelo que no supe hacerlo yo
| What did she do? Tell me, she didn't know how to do it.
|
| Qué me faltó para ser la mujer de tu vida (qué me faltó)
| What did I need to be the woman of your life (what did I need)
|
| Yo tengo tus cartas (yo tengo) pero ella tiene tu poesía (pero ella tiene tu
| I have your letters (I have) but she has your poetry (but she has your
|
| poesía)
| poetry)
|
| Qué no te di para que te quisieras quedar
| What didn't I give you to make you want to stay?
|
| Y escogieras mis manos en las noches frías
| And you would choose my hands on cold nights
|
| Yo tendré tu pasado pero ella te tiene para toda la vida
| I will have your past but she has you for life
|
| Qué me faltó para ser la mujer de tu vida
| What did I need to be the woman of your life
|
| Yo tengo tus cartas (yo tengo) pero ella tiene tu poesía (pero ella tiene tu
| I have your letters (I have) but she has your poetry (but she has your
|
| poesía)
| poetry)
|
| Qué no te di para que te quisieras quedar
| What didn't I give you to make you want to stay?
|
| Y escogieras mis manos en las noches frías
| And you would choose my hands on cold nights
|
| Yo tendré tu pasado pero ella te tiene para toda la vida
| I will have your past but she has you for life
|
| Yo tendré tu pasado, mil recuerdos guardados
| I will have your past, a thousand saved memories
|
| Pero ella te tiene para toda la vida | But she has you for life |
