Lyrics
Hoy, después de tanto tiempo
de no verte, de no hablarte,
ya cansado de buscarte
siempre, siempre,
siento que me voy muriendo
por tu olvido, lentamente,
y en el frío de mi frente
tus besos no dejarás.

Sé que mucho me has querido
tanto, tanto como yo;
pero, en cambio, yo he sufrido
mucho, mucho más que vos.
No sé porque te perdí,
tampoco sé cuándo fue,
pero a tu lado dejé
toda mi vida,
y hoy que estás lejos de mí
y has conseguido olvidar,
soy un pasaje de tu vida, nada más.

¡Es tan poco lo que falta
para irme con la muerte!
Ya mis ojos no han de verte
nunca, nunca.

Y si un día, por mi culpa,
una lágrima vertiste,
porque tanto me quisiste
sé que me perdonarás.
English translation
Today, after so long
of not seeing you, of not talking to you
tired of looking for you
always, always,
I feel that I am dying
because of your oblivion, slowly,
and in the cold of my forehead
your kisses will not leave.

I know that you have loved me so much
as much, as much as me;
but, on the other hand, I have suffered
much, much more than you.
I don't know why I lost you,
nor do I know when it was,
but at your side I left
all my life,
and today that you are far from me
and you've managed to forget,
I am a passage of your life, nothing more.

It's so little that's left
to go with death!
My eyes will never see you
ever, ever.

And if one day, because of me
you shed a tear,
because you loved me so much
I know that you will forgive me.
