Déjame verte llorando
let me see you crying
Déjame estar a tu lado
Let me be by your side
Cerquita de tu alma
close to your soul
Juntito al dolor
next to pain
Déjame verte llorando
let me see you crying
Quiero secar este llanto
I want to dry this crying
Que estás derramando
what are you spilling
Por un mal amor
for a bad love
Yo soy el mismo de siempre
I am the same as always
Sigue sangrando la herida
the wound continues to bleed
Que un día de la vida
what a day in the life
Me dio tu querer
He gave me your love
Sigo buscando consuelo
I keep looking for comfort
Sigo pidiéndole al cielo
I keep asking heaven
Que seas en mi vida
that you be in my life
Lo que ella no fue
what she was not
Déjame hablarte en secreto
let me talk to you in secret
Quiero decirte al oido
I want to tell you in your ear
Que mi último nido
that my last nest
También fracasó
also failed
Pero tú no hagas recuerdos
But you don't make memories
Dale al pasado tu olvido
Give the past your oblivion
Y empieza otra vida
And another life begins
Sin ver tu dolor
without seeing your pain
Alza tu cara de rosa
Raise your pink face
No porque estés derrotada
not because you're defeated
Te humilles el alma
you humble your soul
Pensando en su amor
thinking of your love
Vamos a darnos la mano
let's shake hands
Somos dos viejos amigos
we are two old friends
Que estando vencidos
that being defeated
Creemos en Dios
we believe in god
