Lyrics

No te olvides que no pude darte
El lugar que ya estaba ocupado
Yo no se por que quieres dejarme
Si ya toda mi vida te he dado
Tu bien sabes que tienes conmigo
Lo mas grande que es nuestro cariño
Y aun que leyes por hoy nos separan
No te voy a aceptar el olvido
No me dejes por dios te lo pido
Por tu ausencia yo voy a llorar
Bien sabias que yo estaba casado
Y aseptaste el segundo lugar
En mi vida seras la primera
Pero siempre en la intimidad
Ya te he dado ternura y cariño
No me pidas el primer lugar
Los deberes de ti me separan
Tu bien sabes que ingrato no soy
Yo me siento orgulloso contigo
Nadie tiene el lugar que te doy
No me dejes por dios te lo pido
Por tu ausencia yo voy a llorar
Bien sabias que yo estaba casado
Y aseptaste el segundo lugar
En mi vida seras la primera
Pero siempre en la intimidad
Ya te he dado ternura y cariño
No me pidas el primer lugar

Lyrics translation

Don't forget I couldn't give you
The place that was already occupied
I don't know why you want to leave me
If all my life I've given you
You well know what you have with me
How great is our love
And even what laws for today separate us
I won't accept your forgetfulness
Don't leave me for God's sake I ask you
For your absence I will cry
Well, you knew I was married.
And you took second place
In my life you will be the first
But always in intimacy
I've already given you tenderness and affection
Don't ask me for the first place
Your duties separate me
You know I'm not ungrateful.
I'm proud of you.
No one has the place I give you
Don't leave me for God's sake I ask you
For your absence I will cry
Well, you knew I was married.
And you took second place
In my life you will be the first
But always in intimacy
I've already given you tenderness and affection
Don't ask me for the first place
