Singer: Vicente Fernández
Pasaste a mi lado
Con gran indiferencia
Tus ojos ni siquiera
Voltearon hacía a mi
You walked with me
With great disregard
Your eyes never
Turn towards me
Te vi sin que me vieras
Te hable sin que me oyeras
Y toda mi amargura
Se ahogo dentro de mi
I saw you without being seen
I talked to you without being heard
And all my sorrow
Drowned within me
Me duele, hasta la vida
Saber que me olvidaste
Pensar que ni desprecios
Merezca yo de ti
It hurts me, even life itself
To know that you forgot me
To think that I don’t even deserve
Your scorn
Y sin embargo sigues
Unida a mi existencia
Y si vivo cien años
Cien años pienso en ti
And yet you remain
Tied to my life
And if I live a hundred years
A hundred years I’ll think of you
Me duele, hasta la vida
Saber que me olvidaste
Pensar que ni desprecios
Merezca yo de ti
It hurts me, even life itself
To know that you forgot me
To think that I don’t even deserve
Your scorn
Y sin embargo sigues
Unida a mi existencia
Y si vivo cien años
Cien años pienso en ti
And yet you remain
Tied to my life
And if I live a hundred years
A hundred years I’ll think of you
