Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Privilegio De Amar by Manuel Mijares from Spanish to English.
Que podré decirte
What can I tell you
En el corto tiempo
In the short time
En que se vive una ilusión
In which an illusion is lived
Que podré dejarte
What can I leave you
Tan pegado al alma
So attached to the soul
Que se quede ahí en tu corazón
That it stays there in your heart
Yo no pretendo enseñarte
I don't intend to teach you
Lo que es el mundo
What the world is
Me falta también
I lack it too
Pero vale la pena
But it's worth it
Disfrutar cada día
To enjoy each day
Porque me has regalado
Because you have given me
El privilegio de amarte
The privilege of loving you
Di lo que sientas
Say what you feel
Has lo que piensas
Do what you think
Da lo que tengas
Give what you have
Y no te arrepientas
And don't regret it
Y si no llega
And if what you expected
Lo que esperabas
Doesn't come
No te conformes
Don't settle
Jamás te detengas
Never stop
Pero sobre todas las cosas
But above all things
Nunca te olvides
Never forget
Serás del tamaño
You will be the size
De tus pensamientos
Of your thoughts
No te permitas fracasar
Don't allow yourself to fail
Lo más importante
The most important thing
Son los sentimientos
Are the feelings
Y lo que no puedes confiar
And what you can't trust
Y cuando llegue el momento
And when the moment comes
En que tu sola quisieras volar
When you alone would like to fly
Aunque no estemos juntos
Even if we're not together
Estarán los recuerdos
The memories will be there
Que con sólo tenerlos
That just by having them
Volverás a vivirlos
You will live them again
Di lo que piensas
Say what you think
Has lo que sientas
Do what you feel
Da lo que tengas
Give what you have
Y no te arrepientas
And don't regret it
No te limites
Don't limit yourself
Por lo que digan
Because of what they say
Sé lo que quieras
Be whatever you want
Pero sé tú mismo
But be yourself
Pero sobre todas las cosas
But above all things
Nunca te olvides de Dios
Never forget about God
Pero sobre todas las cosas
But above all things
Como te quiero mi amor
How I love you, my love
