Before he had a big successful music career Jose Manuel Figueroa (Joan Sebastian's legal name) passed most of his childhood from place to place.

si te hubiera cuidado como se cuide el amor
no estaria llorando, no estaria agonizando
no seria el ganador
que gane
me gane tu desprecio y la culpa de tu dolor
ojala ya no llores y ojala te enamores
tu mereces la gloria y yo te di un infierno
hoy se invierte la historia
estoy de amor enfermo
tu me trajiste el sol
ya me quede en tinieblas
se que culpable soy de que ya nunca vuelvas
ay ay amor
ay ay amor
ay amor
se que todo se paga
y se que soy tu gran deudor
hoy me encuentro llorando
mis errores pagando
ay amor
ay amor
tu mereces la gloria y yo te di un infierno
hoy se invierte la historia
estoy de amor enfermo
tu me trajiste el sol
