Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuántas Veces by Carlos Rivera from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ya ha pasado el tiempo por aquí
It's been a long time coming
Desde aquella noche en que perdimos la batalla
Since that night when we lost the battle
Y preferimos la distancia
And we preferred the distance
Cada día quise repetir
Every day I wanted to repeat
Esos besos tuyos que me hacían tanta falta
Those kisses of yours that I missed so much
Mas no encontré quien te igualara
But I couldn't find anyone to match you
Y aunque yo me prometí
And although I promised myself
Renunciar por siempre a este sentimiento
To renounce this feeling forever
Aún sigue aquí,
It's still here,
Cuántas veces tuve que ser fuerte
How many times I had to be strong
Mentirme que todo está bien
Lying to myself that it's all right
Que te olvidé, oh
That I forgot you, oh
Cuántas veces le pedí a la suerte
How many times I prayed to luck
Que cuando te volviera ver
That when I saw you again
Yo me pudiera convencer
I could convince myself
Que te he dejado de querer
That I've stopped loving you
Pero no lo he podido hacer
But I have not been able to do it
A veces aunque digas no
Sometimes even if you say no
Tú tienes necio el corazón
You have a foolish heart
Y así de simple
And just like that
Al final es él el que decide
In the end it's he who decides
Y aunque yo me prometí
And although I promised myself
Renunciar por siempre a este sentimiento
To renounce this feeling forever
Aún sigue aquí
It's still here
Cuántas veces tuve que ser fuerte
How many times I had to be strong
Mentirme que todo está bien
Lying to myself that it's all right
Que te olvidé
That I forgot you
Cuántas veces le pedí a la suerte
How many times I prayed to luck
Que cuando te volviera ver
That when I saw you again
Yo me pudiera convencer
I could convince myself
Que te he dejado de querer
That I've stopped loving you
Pero no lo he podido hacer, oh
But I couldn't do it, oh
Cuántas veces le pedí a la suerte
How many times I prayed to luck
Que cuando te volviera ver
That when I saw you again
Yo me pudiera convencer
I could convince myself
Que te he dejado de querer
That I've stopped loving you
Pero no lo he podido hacer
But I have not been able to do it
