Lyrics

Si quisiera despreciar te despreciaba
Si quisiera aborrecer te aborrecia
Si te fueras por tu ausencia no lloraba
Y negara que un tiempo fuistes mia
Es muy cierto que llore cuando era nino
Y tambien cuando sufrian mi pobres padres
Pero nunca llorare por un carino, eso lo hacen
Solamente los cobardes
Se que tienes muchas ganas de dejarme
Pero tienes mucho miedo que te siga
Cunado quieras ve a formar tu mundo aparte
Hasta nunca vete y Dios que te bendiga
Yo jamas he renegado de mi suerte
Y te pierdo porque ya era mi destino
Si no tengo ya motivos pa quererte
Y hay pa siempre cada quien por su camino
Se que tienes muchas ganas que dejarme
Pero tienes mucho miedo que te siga
Cunado quieras ve a formar tu mundo aparte
Hasta nunca vete y Dios que te bendiga

Lyrics translation

If I wanted to despise you I despised you
If he wanted to hate you he hates you
If you left for your absence I wouldn't cry
And I will deny that you were once mine
It is true that I cried when I was a child
And also when my poor parents suffered
But I never cry for a cute one, that's what they do
Only cowards
I know you really want to leave me.
But you're so afraid he'll follow you
When you want to go and form your world apart
Till you never leave and God bless you
I've never renounced my luck
And I lose you because it was already my destiny
If I don't already have reason to love you
And there's always everyone on their way
I know you really want to leave me
But you're so afraid he'll follow you
When you want to go and form your world apart
Till you never leave and God bless you
