Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Egoísta by Gerardo Ortiz from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Por no saber aprovechar el tiempo
For not knowing how to take advantage of the time
Por eso te miré partir y te perdí
That's why I watched you leave and lost you
Por no besarte cuando pude
For not kissing you when I could
Ahora grises son las nubes
Now gray are the clouds
Y el sol no quiere salir
And the sun doesn't want to rise
Por no saber cuidar cada momento
For not knowing how to take care of every moment
Y por la falta de atención tu corazón
And because of the lack of attention to your heart
Un día te dijo ya está bueno
One day he told you it's good
A este amor pongamos freno
Let's put a stop to this love
Y pa' siempre me borró
And it always erased me
Que conste que no culpo a nadie
For the record, I don't blame anyone.
Pues se muy bien que fue mi error
Well, I know very well that it was my mistake
Debí abrazarte despacio
I had to hug you slowly
Y apretarte más fuerte
And squeeze harder
Regalarte un te amo
Give you a I love you
Con un beso en la frente
With a kiss on the forehead
Pero fui un egoísta
But I was selfish.
Gasté mi tiempo en perderte
I spent my time losing you
Debí tomarte la mano
I should have taken your hand
Presumir que eras mía
Presuming you were mine
O cantarte canciones
Or sing songs to yourself
Y robarte sonrisas
And steal smiles
Pero fui un egoísta
But I was selfish.
Y ahora me duele esta herida
And now this wound hurts me
Debí saber que perdía
I should have known I was losing
Debí saber que dolía
I must have known it hurt
Debí abrazarte despacio
I had to hug you slowly
Y apretarte más fuerte
And squeeze harder
Regalarte un te amo
Give you a I love you
Con un beso en la frente
With a kiss on the forehead
Pero fui un egoísta
But I was selfish.
Gasté mi tiempo en perderte
I spent my time losing you
Debí tomarte la mano
I should have taken your hand
Presumir que eras mía
Presuming you were mine
O cantarte canciones
Or sing songs to yourself
Y robarte sonrisas
And steal smiles
Pero fui un egoísta
But I was selfish.
Y ahora me duele esta herida
And now this wound hurts me
Debí saber que perdía
I should have known I was losing
Debí saber que dolía
I must have known it hurt
