Ya lo Pasado Pasado,
No no no no no me interesa,
Ya lo sufri y llore,
Todo quedo en el ayer,

Ya olvide,
Ya olvide,
Ya olvide,

Tengo en la vida por que vivir,
Amo y me aman,
Ya nunca mas estare,
Solo y triste otravez,

El ayer,
Ya olvide,
Ya olvide,

Pido un aplauso,
Para el amor,
Que avia llegado,
Mil gracias (gracias),
Por tanto, y tanto amor,
Vivo enamorado,
Yo me eh enamorado,
Que feliz estoy (soy feliz),

Ya todo olvidado,
Ya todo el pasado,
Ya le dije adios,

Ya olvide,
Ya olvide,
Ya olvide,

Pido un aplauso,
Para el amor,
Que avia llegado,
Mil gracias (gracias),
Por tanto, y tanto amor,
Vivo enamorado,
Yo me eh enamorado,
Que feliz estoy (soy feliz),
Ya todo olvidado,
A todo el pasado,

Ya le dije adios,

Ya le dije adios,
Ya le dije adios.
