Tuve que dejarte pa´ entender
I had to leave you to understand
Que no eras tu lo que queria
That you were not what I wanted
Tuve que embriagarme pa´ curarme
I had to get drunk to cure myself
Todititas las heridas
all the wounds
Tuve que salirme de la casa
I had to get out of the house
Pa´ tirar tantos recuerdos
To throw away so many memories
Tuve que subir al cielo
I had to go up to heaven
Para no seguir en ese infierno
To not continue in that hell
Tuve que naufragar, tuve que decidir
I had to be shipwrecked, I had to decide
Tuve que quererme mas que a mi vida
I had to love myself more than my life
Tuve que perdonar, tuve que resistir
I had to forgive, I had to resist
Tuve que entregarme lo que pedias
I had to give myself what you asked for
Y ahora tengo lo que queria
And now I have what I wanted
Y ahora nadie me dice nada
And now no one tells me anything
Y ahora puedo hacer todo lo que me de la gana
And now I can do whatever I want
Y hora tengo en mi billetera
And time I have in my wallet
Lo necesario, no lo que esperas
What is necessary, not what you expect
Y soy feliz, lo mismo en invierno que en primavera
And I am happy, the same in winter as in spring
Tuve que pasar mil noches negras
I had to spend a thousand black nights
Para ver la luz del dia,
To see the light of day
Tuve que enterrar a mi pasado pa´
I had to bury my past pa'
Sembrar mis alegrias
sow my joys
Tuve que cantar a José Alfredo
I had to sing to José Alfredo
En la cantina de la vida
In the canteen of life
Él me hizo entender que lo mejor
He made me understand that the best
Que me paso fue tu partida
What happened to me was your departure
Tuve que naufragar, tuve que decidir
I had to be shipwrecked, I had to decide
Tuve que quererme mas que a mi vida
I had to love myself more than my life
(mi vida, mi vida)
(my life, my life)
Tuve que perdonar, tuve que resistir
I had to forgive, I had to resist
Tuve que entregarte lo que pedias

Y ahora puedo hacer todo lo que me de la gana
