El amor de mi vida [English translation]

It hurts me more to leave you

than to leave this life.

It hurts me more your good-bye

than the worst punishment God can give me.

I can't, and I don't want to forget you,

neither I will surrender to anyone.

It would be useless to try to flee

because whatever I may go, I carry you inside me.

You have been the love of my life,

the world was blind until I found your light.

I made mine your gestures, your laughter and your voice,

your words, your life and your heart.

You have been the love of my life,

and the love of my life, you still are.

For God's sake, don't pull me out of you,

on my knees I beg you don't leave me like this.

Why do you give me freedom to love

if I prefer to be imprisoned by you?

Perhaps I didn't know how to find the way

to know you and make you happy.

You have been the love of my life,

the world was blind until I found your light.

I made mine your gestures, your laughter and your voice,

your words, your life and your heart.

You have been the love of my life,

and the love of my life, you still are.

For God's sake, don't pull me out of you,

on my knees I beg you don't leave me like this.

No matter how hard I try, I can't understand

what was the reason I lost you,

why, suddenly, I feel lost

in the back of your oblivion, your silence and your disdain.
