Lyrics

Qué te importa que te ame
Si tú no me quieres ya El amor que ya ha pasado
No se puede recordar
Fui la ilusion de tu vida
Un día lejano ya Hoy represento el pasado
No me puedo conformar
Si las cosas que uno quiere
Se pudieran alcanzar
Si me quisieras lo mismo
Que veinte años atrás
Con que tristeza miramos
Un amor que se nos va Es un pedazo del alma
Que se arranca sin piedad
Qué te importa que te ame
Si tú no me quieres ya El amor que ya ha pasado
No se puede recordar
Fui la ilusion de tu vida
Un día lejano ya Hoy represento el pasado
No me puedo conformar
Si las cosas que uno quiere
Se pudieran alcanzar
Si me quisieras lo mismo
Que veinte años atrás
Con que tristeza miramos
Un amor que se nos va Es un pedazo del alma
Que se arranca sin piedad
Es un pedazo del alma
Que se arranca sin piedad

Lyrics translation

What does it matter that I love you
If you don't love me already the love that has already passed
Can't remember
I was the illusion of your life
A distant day and today I represent the past
I can't settle
If the things you want
Could be achieved
If you wanted me the same
That twenty years ago
With what sadness we look
A love that leaves us is a piece of the soul
That is mercilessly torn off
What does it matter that I love you
If you don't love me already the love that has already passed
Can't remember
I was the illusion of your life
A distant day and today I represent the past
I can't settle
If the things you want
Could be achieved
If you wanted me the same
That twenty years ago
With what sadness we look
A love that leaves us is a piece of the soul
That is mercilessly torn off
It's a piece of the soul
That is mercilessly torn off
