Muchas veces te dije que antes de hacerlo
Many times I told you that before doing it
Había que pensarlo muy bien

Que a esta unión de nosotros

Le hacía falta carne y deseo también
He needed meat and desire too
Que no bastaba que me entendieras
That it was not enough that you understood me
Y que murieras por mí
And that you would die for me
Que no bastaba que en mi fracaso
That it was not enough that in my failure
Yo me refugiara en ti
I will take refuge in you
Y ahora ves lo que pasó
And now you see what happened
Al fin nació, al pasar de los años
At last he was born, as the years passed
El tremendo cansancio que provoco ya en ti

Y aunque es penoso lo tienes que decir
And although it is painful you have to say it
Por mi parte esperaba

Que un día el tiempo se hiciera cargo del fin

Si así no hubiera sido

Yo habría seguido jugando a hacerte feliz

Y aunque el llanto es amargo piensa en los años

Que tienes para vivir

Que mi dolor no es menos y lo peor

Es que ya no puedo sentir

Y ahora tratar de conquistar
And now try to conquer
Con vano afán este tiempo perdido
With vain effort this wasted time
Que nos deja vencidos sin poder conocer

Eso que llaman amor

Para vivir

Para vivir
To live
