Si es que te vas
If you leave
Solo te pido que no vuelvas nunca más
I only ask you never to come back again.
y no alimentes la esperanza
and don't feed hope
De encontrar viejos caminos
Of finding old paths
Que ya nunca he de pasar
What I will never have to happen anymore
Si es que te vas
If you leave
Habrá un 'te quiero'
There will be a 'I love you'
Ya lo sé, de soledad
I know, of loneliness
No habrá recuerdo amargo
There will be no bitter memory
En cada luego despertar
In each after waking up
y entre mi manos las caricias
and in my hands the caresses
Si es que te vas
If you leave
No habrá un reproche que te impida realizar
There will be no reproach that prevents you from performing
La voluntad omnipotente de encontrar
The omnipotent will to find
Aquel destino que marcó tu corazón
That destiny that marked your heart
Por eso, si es que te vas
Therefore, if you leave
No te preocupes, no hay condena
Don't worry, there's no condemnation
Si hay alguien más
If there is anyone else
Podrás decirlo aunque me duela
You can say it even if it hurts me
Si esa es la verdad
If that's the truth
Solo te pido que no vuelvas nunca más

Si es que te vas
If you leave
Voy a abrazarte
I'm going to hug you
Con la angustia del que da

Todo por nada y es más triste llorar
All for nothing and it's sadder to cry
Ya ves, prefiero abrir mis brazos
You see, I prefer to open my arms
Si es que te vas
If you leave
Caen las lágrimas
Tears fall
Rodándome en la piel
Rolling on my skin
El frío intenso de saber

Que pronto no estarás
That soon you will not be
Para el amor de nuestro mundo

Por si te sirve, yo te quiero igual
Just in case it serves you, I love you just the same
