Fue mejor así [English translation]

What a boy wouldn't give to know

what awaits him when he's older,

and to be able to do it all.

And what a woman would give

to have a son like that.

And I placed all my faith in those arms

and just dreaming of them allowed me to sleep,

who would have thought that to the rhythm

of her rocking I fell asleep.

But everything is alright, it was my turn to cry,

how was I to know that

your eyes closed before me, never to receive

the kisses that I couldn't give you.

And although I suffered, it's better like this,

you can't tell me nothing more.

I've lived a lie for who knows how long,

but believe me, I feel sorrier for you.

And I placed all my faith in those arms

and just dreaming of them allowed me to sleep,

who would have thought that to the rhythm

of her rocking I fell asleep.

But everything is alright, it was my turn to cry,

how was I to know that

your eyes closed before me, never to receive

the kisses that I couldn't give you.

And although I suffered, it's better like this,
