Se me termina el tiempo, ya
No puedo estar un día más sin ti, ya
Las lágrimas empiezan a salir, he comenzado
A ver lo bello de un principio y lo triste de un final

My time is running out, now 
I can’t spend another day without you, now 
The tears begin to fall, I’ve started 
To see the beauty of a beginning and the sadness of an end

Pero como me duele, el miedo a tenerte
¿Cómo tenerte?, si ya me duele perderte
Pero como me duele, el miedo a tenerte
¿Cómo tenerte?, si ya me duele perderte

But how it hurts, the fear of having you
How can I have you, if it already hurts to lose you?
But how it hurts, the fear of having you
How can I have you, if it already hurts to lose you?

Me duele perderte

It hurts to loose you

Tu abrazo es un respiro, con un beso me mantienes vivo
Tu mirada es un bello amanecer
Si tanto he esperado
Poder sentir algo tan grande, es muy triste, ver su final

Your embrace is a breath of fresh air, with a kiss you keep me alive 
Your gaze is a beautiful sunrise 
If I’ve waited so long 
To feel something so immense, it’s so sad to see it end

Pero como me duele, el miedo a tenerte
¿Cómo tenerte?, si ya me duele perderte
Pero como me duele, el miedo a tenerte
¿Cómo tenerte?, si ya me duele perderte

But how it hurts, the fear of having you
How can I have you, if it already hurts to lose you?
But how it hurts, the fear of having you
How can I have you, if it already hurts to lose you?

Me duele perderte

It hurts to loose you

Si tanto he esperado
Poder sentir algo tan grande, es muy triste
Ver su final

If I’ve waited so long 
To feel something so immense, it’s so sad
