AMOR PROPIO Lyrics Translation Grupo Frontera | El Comienzo
Edgar Barrera pens lyrics that reflect deep pain and reflection. The line ‘It’s not that I’m missing your love, it’s that I’m missing my self-respect’ stands out. The poet uses straightforward language to convey the struggle of moving on.
Si se pudiera viajar al pasadoIf I could travel to the past,
Y decirme to’ lo que ha pasadoand tell myself everything that’s happened,
Yo le diría a mi yo del pasado que no se enamoreI’d tell my past self not to fall in love.
Que a nadie le diga cosas bonitas y no mande floresI’d tell him not to say sweet things or send flowers,
Porque no hay doctoresbecause there aren’t any doctors
Pa’ este mal de amoresfor this kind of heartbreak.
Si se pudiera borrar la memoriaIf I could erase my memory,
O solo una parte de la historiaor just a piece of the story,
Yo borraría el día en que te vi pa’ no conocerteI’d erase the day I met you so I’d never know you.
Yo te creí cuando tú me juraste que era para siempreI believed you when you swore it was forever,
Y ahora estás ausenteand now you’re gone,
Y qué feo se sienteand it feels so terrible.
Yo mendigándote amorI was begging you for love,
Creyéndome que era el únicobelieving I was the only one.
A nadie he besado yoI haven’t kissed a single soul,
Tú dando besos en públicowhile you’re kissing him in public.
Verte con él me dolióSeeing you with him hurt me,
Y aún así no te odioand yet, I don’t hate you.
No es que me falte tu amorIt’s not that I’m missing your love,
Es que me falta amor propioit’s that I’m missing my self-respect.
Yo mendigándote amorI was begging you for love,
Creyéndome que era el únicobelieving I was the only one.
A nadie he besado yoI haven’t kissed a single soul,
Tú dando besos en públicowhile you’re kissing him in public.
Verte con él me dolióSeeing you with him hurt me,
Y aún así no te odioand yet, I don’t hate you.
No es que me falte tu amorIt’s not that I’m missing your love,
Es que me falta amor propioit’s that I’m missing my self-respect.
Yo mendigándote amorI was begging you for love,
Creyéndome que era el únicobelieving I was the only one.
A nadie he besado yoI haven’t kissed a single soul,
Tú dando besos en públicowhile you’re kissing him in public.
Verte con él me dolióSeeing you with him hurt me,
Y aún así no te odioand yet, I don’t hate you.
No es que me falte tu amorIt’s not that I’m missing your love,
Es que me falta amor propioit’s that I’m missing my self-respect.
Yo mendigándote amorI was begging you for love,
Creyéndome que era el únicobelieving I was the only one.
A nadie he besado yoI haven’t kissed a single soul,
Tú dando besos en públicowhile you’re kissing him in public.
Verte con él me dolióSeeing you with him hurt me,
