Lyrics
No te quiero faltar, quiero que entiendas
Que aunque nunca me des mi libertad,
Por ser fiel al deber y a mi conciencia
Mientras pueda, te voy a respetar.
Mas no sé si lo peor es traicionarte
O besarte pensando en otro amor,
Y al tener que mentir por respetarte
Despreciarte con todo el corazón.
 
No me obligues,
A esto tan terrible
De seguir a tu lado, sin amor...
No es posible
Que así me sacrifiques
Porque un día el corazón se equivocó.
Dame mi libertad,
Dame el derecho de volver al amor
Con dignidad...
No me empujes
Por un despecho inútil,
A lo que por los dos
Quiero evitar.
 
Es tremendo saber que no hay salida
Que no puedo mi vida rehacer,
Por un torpe prejuicio que me obliga
A vivir a tu lado sin querer.
Que me obliga a vivir siempre mintiendo
Por salvar el sentir de una moral,
Que al llevarme a falsear mis sentimientos
Me rebaja a la peor indignidad.
English translation
I don't want to fail you, I want you to understand
That even if you never give me my freedom,
For being faithful to my duty and to my conscience
As long as I can, I will respect you.
But I don't know if the worst thing is to betray you
Or kissing you thinking of another love,
And having to lie to respect you
To despise you with all my heart.
 
Don't force me
To this terrible thing
To stay by your side, without love...
It is not possible
That you sacrifice me like this
Because one day my heart made a mistake.
Give me my freedom,
Give me the right to return to love
With dignity...
Don't push me
For a useless spite,
To what for both of us
I want to avoid.
 
It's terrible to know that there's no way out
That I can't rebuild my life,
Because of a clumsy prejudice that forces me
To live by your side without wanting to.
That forces me to live always lying
To save the feeling of a moral,
That by leading me to falsify my feelings
It lowers me to the worst indignity.
