Lyrics

La distancia entre los dos
Es cada día mas grande
De tu amor y de mi amor
No esta quedando nada
Sin embargo el corazón, no quiere resignarse
A escuchar el triste adiós
Que sea tu retirada
Cuando te hayas ido ya
Pedazo de mi vida, si aguante la soledad
Recuerdame un poquito
Porque yo te supe amar derecho y sin mentiras
Y te voy a recordar por dios que muy bonito
Déjame algo de recuerdo una lagrima y un beso
Y un cachito de tu pelo de mi no te lleves nada
Porque ya lo tienes todo yo soy todo todo tuyo
La distancia entre los dos es cada día mas grande
De tu amor y de mi amor no esta quedando nada
Sin embargo el corazón, no quiere resignarse
A escuchar el triste adiós, que sea tu retirar

Lyrics translation

The distance between the two
It's getting bigger every day
Of your love and of my love
There's nothing left.
However, the heart does not want to resign itself
To hear the sad farewell
Make it your retreat
When you're gone already
Piece of my life, if I endure loneliness
Remind me a little bit
Because I knew how to love you straight and without lies
And I'm going to remind you by God that very nice
Leave me some memory a tear and a kiss
And a little bit of your hair from me don't take anything
'Cause you've got it all I'm all yours
The distance between the two is getting bigger every day
Of your love and of my love there is nothing left
However, the heart does not want to resign itself
To hear the sad farewell, let it be your retreat
