Amar sin ser amada [English translation]

All this time

I've had to listen to you,

To understand you, to console you.

I know life hasn't been so simple for you,

but it's time now to forget.

I know it's tough to start all over again.

That your wounds have marked you forever,

but don't think that suffering hasn't served you well.

It's how you learn not to make the same mistake again.

To love and not be loved, it's a stab in the heart.

I'm not going to get it wrong again, never again.

To love and not be loved, to be left abandoned.

I won't put myself through another lover

Who can't return all that I give him,

All that I trusted him with, I'll never do it again.

To love and not be loved, it left my soul broken,

But at last I could learn.

It seems like karma, a sin from the past.

It's an undeserved punishment.

To surrender my whole heart without conditions

And receive only so many disappointments.

You're not the only one who's suffered this wrong.

It's no consolation, it's already happened,

But I won't continue suffering without meaning,

It's how you learn not to make the same mistake again.

To love and not be loved, it's a stab in the heart.

I'm not going to get it wrong again, never again.

To love and not be loved, to be left abandoned.

I won't put myself through another lover

Who can't return all that I give him,

All that I trusted him with, I'll never do it again.

To love and not be loved, it left my soul broken,

But at last I could learn.

But don't think that suffering hasn't served you well,

It's how you learn not to make the same mistake again.

To love and not be loved, it's a stab in the heart.

I'm not going to get it wrong again, never again.

To love and not be loved, to be left abandoned.

I won't put myself through another lover

Who can't return all that I give him,

All that I trusted him with, I'll never do it again.

To love and not be loved, it left my soul broken,

But at last I could learn.
