Ya ha pasado el tiempo por aquí
Desde aquella noche en que perdimos la batalla
Y preferimos la distancia
Time over here has already passed
From that night when we lost the battle
And preferred the distance
Cada día quise repetir
Esos besos tuyos que me hacían tanta falta
Mas no encontré quién te igualara
Every day I wanted to repeat
Those kisses of yours I needed
I haven’t found anyone who equals you
Y aunque yo me prometí
Renunciar por siempre a este sentimiento
Sigue aquí, nunca me fui
And even though I promised myself
To give up this feeling forever
But it continues here, I never left
Cuántas veces tuve que ser fuerte
Mentirme que todo está bien
Que te olvidé, oh
How many times I had to be strong
Lie to myself that everything is okay
That I forgot you, oh
Cuántas veces le pedí a la suerte
Que cuando te volviera a ver
Yo me pudiera convencer
Que te he dejado de querer
Pero no lo he podido hacer
How many times I asked luck
That when I saw you again
I’ll be able to convince myself
That I’ve stopped loving you
But I haven’t been able to
A veces, aunque digas no
Tú tienes necio el corazón
Y así de simple, al final es él el que decide
Sometimes, even though you say no
You have my heart fooled
And as simple as that, in the end he’s the one who decides
Y aunque yo me prometí
Renunciar por siempre a este sentimiento
Sigue aquí
And even though I promised myself
To give up this feeling forever
But it continues here
Nunca me fui, oh
I never left, oh
Cuántas veces tuve que ser fuerte
Mentirme que todo está bien
Que te olvidé, oh-oh
How many times I had to be strong
Lie to myself that everything is okay
That I forgot you, oh
Cuántas veces le pedí a la suerte
Que cuando te volviera a ver
Yo me pudiera convencer
Que te he dejado de querer, uh-oh
Pero no lo he podido hacer
No, no, no
No, no, no
Oh-oh
How many times I asked luck
That when I saw you again
I’ll be able to convince myself
That I’ve stopped loving you, uh-oh
But I haven’t been able to
No, no, no
No, no, no
Oh-oh
Cuántas veces le pedí a la suerte
Que cuando te volviera a ver
Yo me pudiera convencer
Que te he dejado de querer
How many times I asked luck
That when I saw you again
I’ll be able to convince myself
That I’ve stopped loving you
But I haven’t been able to
Pero no lo he podido hacer
