Sé lo que vas a decirI know what you’re going to say,
Porque hace tiempo no te veo felizbecause I haven’t seen you happy in a long time.
Has aguantado tantos fracasosYou’ve endured so many failures,
Que no me sorprende este finthat this ending doesn’t surprise me.
Si te vas a despedirIf you’re going to say goodbye,
No me digas nada que es mejor asídon’t say anything, it’s better this way.
Da la media vuelta que yo haré de cuentaJust turn around, and I’ll pretend
Que nunca llegamos aquíthat we never reached this point.
Si vas a decir adiósIf you’re going to say farewell,
No lo hagas amordon’t do it, my love.
Que no soy tan fuerte no tengo esa suerteFor I’m not that strong, I don’t have that kind of luck,
Por eso te pido un favorso I’m asking you for a favor.
Vuélveme locoDrive me crazy,
Déjame ciegoleave me blind.
Haz tu partida sin despedidaMake your departure without a goodbye,
Y vete en silencioand just leave in silence.
Miénteme un pocoLie to me a little,

O quítame vida la misma vidaOr take my life, my very life itself,
