Lo intenté y fallé
No está en mi olvidarte
Te siento aquí abrazándome
Respirándome, temblando sobre mí, es así
Aunque te fuiste no me suelto de ti

I tried and failed
Forgetting you isn’t within my capacity
I feel you presence, embracing me
Inhaling me, trembling upon me, that’s how it is
Even though you’re gone, I can’t let go of you

Yo quiero que sigas en mi vida
Yo quiero que vivas en mi piel
Si amarte es tan fuerte todavía
Qué gano olvidándote

I want you to stay in my life
I want you to live in my skin
If my love for you still holds such power
What do I achieve by forgetting you

No quiero cerrar estas heridas
No quiero curarme del ayer
Prefiero llorarte un día de vida
Soñando que piensas en volver

I don’t want to heal from the wounds
I don’t want to heal from yesterday
I’d rather mourn you for a day of life
Dreaming that you’re thinking of coming back

Mírame, no cambié
Soy el mismo ciego
Estoy en paz, te di mi amor y más
Aunque digan que yo me quedé atrás
Ahí después
Porque un día serás mía otra vez

Look at me, I haven’t changed
Just as blind as before
I’m at peace, I gave you my love and more
Even though they say I lagging behind
There, afterwards
Because one day you’ll be mine again

Yo quiero que sigas en mi vida
Yo quiero que vivas en mi piel
Si amarte es tan fuerte todavía
Qué gano olvidándote

I want you to stay in my life
I want you to live in my skin
If my love for you still holds such power
What do I achieve by forgetting you

No quiero cerrar estas heridas
No quiero curarme del ayer
Prefiero llorarte un día de vida
Soñando que piensas en volver

I don’t want to heal from the wounds
I don’t want to heal from yesterday
I’d rather mourn you for a day of life
Dreaming that you’re thinking of coming back

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Qué gano olvidándote
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
What do I gain by forgetting you
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Yo quiero que sigas en mi vida
Yo quiero que vivas en mi piel
Si amarte es tan fuerte todavía
Qué gano olvidándote

I want you to stay in my life
I want you to live in my skin
If my love for you still holds such power
What do I achieve by forgetting you
