El Amor De Mi Vida Lyrics in English Camilo Sesto

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Amor De Mi Vida by Camilo Sesto from Spanish to English.
It hurts me more to leave you
than to stop living
Your goodbye hurts me more than the worst punishment
that God might impose on me
I can't and I don't want to forget you
nor do I plan to give myself to anyone
It'd be useless to try to run away
Because wherever I go I carry you inside me
The love of my life has been you
My world was blind until I found your light
I made your gestures, your laugh and your voice mine
your words, your life and your heart
The love of my life has been you
You are still the love of my life
For what you love most, don't tear me away from you
On my knees I beg you, don't leave me like this
Why do you give me freedom to love?
if I'd rather be imprisoned by you
Maybe I didn't know how to find the way
to know you and make you happy
The love of my life has been you
My world was blind until I found your light
I made your gestures, your laugh and your voice mine
your words, your life and your heart
The love of my life has been you
You are still the love of my life
For what you love most, don't tear me away from you
On my knees I beg you, don't leave me like this
No matter how much I think I can't understand
For what reason could I lose you?
Why do I suddenly feel lost?
On the back of your oblivion, your silence and your disdain

SONG MEANING

Camilo Sesto’s powerful ballad is a raw confession of love that refuses to fade. The singer tells his partner that losing her hurts more than losing life itself. He admits he cannot forget her, nor give his heart to anyone else, because she is already a permanent part of him. Every laugh, every gesture, every word of hers has become his own, and without her light, his world would be blind again.

At its core, the song is a desperate plea to stay together. He begs on his knees for her not to abandon him, questioning why she would grant him “freedom” when he would rather be a prisoner of her love. Haunted by confusion and regret, he cannot comprehend how he managed to lose the “amor de su vida.” With soaring vocals and dramatic emotion, Camilo Sesto captures the universal fear of losing a once-in-a-lifetime love, making the listener feel every ounce of his anguish and devotion.
