Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La pena que hay en mí
Que estando, yo, a tu lado
Se acaba mi sufrir
Será lo que tú quieras
La culpa, tú, tendrás
Pero mi alma te espera
No sé cómo he podido estar
Tanto tiempo lejos de ti
No sé cómo he podido esperar
Sin poder resistir
Yo vivo y tú lo sabes
Desesperado y triste
Y desde que te fuiste
No sé lo que es vivir
No sé cómo he podido esperar
Y saber resistir
Yo vivo y tú lo sabes
Desesperado y triste
Y desde que te fuiste
No sé lo que es vivir
No sé lo que es vivir sin ti
