Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuéntale A Él by Luis Alberto Posada from Spanish to English.
Nadie sabe lo que tiene hasta que no lo pierde
Nobody knows what they have until they lose it
Yo tenía un gran amor pero un día me dejó
I had a great love but one day he left me
Por mi traición
for my betrayal
Y ahora que se encuentra lejos
And now that you are far away
Me está matando el dolor
The pain is killing me
Tengo triste y amargado a mi pobre corazón
I have sad and bitter my poor heart
Ya no hay tiempo de llorarla
There is no time to mourn her
Ya le cansó mi querer
She's already tired of my love
Ella ya no quiere amarme
She doesn't want to love me anymore
Destruí su corazón
I destroyed his heart
Yo sé que tiene razón
I know she is right
Pues no respeté su amor
Well I didn't respect his love
Cómo quiero que sea buena
How I want it to be good
Cómo quiero retenerla
How do I want to keep her?
Si yo le causo dolor
If I cause you pain
Nadie sabe lo que tiene hasta que no lo pierde
Nobody knows what they have until they lose it
Yo tenía un gran amor pero un día me dejó
I had a great love but one day he left me
Por mi traición
for my betrayal
Y ahora que se encuentra lejos
And now that you are far away
Me está matando el dolor
The pain is killing me
Tengo triste y amargado a mi pobre corazón
I have sad and bitter my poor heart
Ya no hay tiempo de llorarla
There is no time to mourn her
Ya le cansó mi querer
She's already tired of my love
Ella ya no quiere amarme
She doesn't want to love me anymore
Destruí su corazón
I destroyed his heart
Yo sé que tiene razón
I know she is right
Pues no respeté su amor
Well I didn't respect his love
Cómo quiero que sea buena
How I want it to be good
Cómo quiero retenerla
How do I want to keep her?
Si yo le causo dolor
If I cause you pain
