Lyrics
Si te vas, te irás sólo una vez
Para mí habrás muerto
Yo te pido que me lo hagas saber
Quiero estar despierto
Porque si te vas, yo quiero creer
Que nunca vas a volver
Dímelo y será mucho menos cruel
Yo siempre supe perder
Si te vas, quiero verte partir
Saber que te has ido
Sin adioses, el amar y el morir
Nunca son olvido
Pájaro tu piel, viento mi querer
Yo te puedo comprender
Sin saber por qué no te podrás ir
Yo te quiero despedir
(Estribillo)
Y no será por eso
Que estemos separados
Aunque no te marcharas
Lo nuestro está terminado
Pero si te vas, yo quiero creer
Que nunca vas a volver
Si te vas, con amor o sin él
Debes irte ahora
Tus nostalgias y tus fugas de ayer
Ya no me enamoran
Mírate vivir, sangre de gorrión
Te ha faltado corazón…(*)
Yo bien puedo ser, si te quieres ir
El que te ayude a partir
Si te vas, no te vayas así
Llévate tu vida
Si no puedes olvidarme y partir
Volarás herida
Vete sin dolor, debes comprender
Que soy el mismo de ayer
No hay mejor amor que el que ya pasó
Se siente al decir adiós
(*) O, «tu apartado corazón»
Lyrics translation
If you leave, you'll only leave once
You're dead to me.
I'm asking you to let me know.
I want to be awake
Because if you go, I want to believe
That you'll never come back
Tell me and it will be much less cruel
I always knew how to lose
If you leave, I want to see you leave
Knowing you're gone
No Goodbyes, loving and dying
They are never forgotten
Bird your skin, wind My want
I can understand you
Without knowing why you won't be able to leave
I want to fire you
(Chorus)
And it won't be for that
That we are separated
Even if you didn't leave
Ours is over.
But if you go, I want to believe
That you'll never come back
If you leave, with love or without it
You must leave now.
Your nostalgia and your escape from yesterday
They don't love me anymore.
Watch you live, Sparrow blood
You've lacked heart…(*)
I may well be, if you want to go
The one to help you leave
If you go, don't go like that
Take your life
If you can't forget me and leave
You'll fly wounded
Go without pain, you must understand
That I'm the same as yesterday
There is no better love than that which has already passed
Feels like saying goodbye
( * ) Or, " your heart apart»
