Lejos de ti [English translation]

Lift this doubt of mine, my love;

If I go on like this, I will lose my mind!

Let me know at once, please,

If your pretty little eyes want to look at me.

Lift this treacherous doubt of mine

Which leads me around by the nose.

Tell me at once and for all, just in case,

Whether my hope is healthy and it can be cured...

Only God knows if you really want to call me...

Only God know if today's horoscope

Says that you will return...

[Chorus:]

Far away from you one cannot live happily,

Far away from you love doesn't suit me,

Far away from you this sorrow increases...

Far away from you war never ends!

Far away from you my moon is overcast

And winters are sheer madness

Far away from you... Far away from you!

They say that love songs

Keep always repeating and saying the same;

They say that they haven't seen you around

And that you left without asking for permission.

They say that, if you love something and it goes away,

If it was really yours, it returns...

They say that missing you is forbidden:

That I shouldn't pay attention to you, and should forget you!

Only God knows that words belong to the wind...

Only God knows if your happiness and my grief

Will ever feel like coming back...

To see me with you!

[Chorus:]

Far away from you one cannot live happily,

Far away from you love doesn't suit me,

Far away from you this sorrow increases...

Far away from you war never ends!

Far away from you my moon is overcast

And winters are sheer madness

Far away from you... Far away from you!

[Bridge:]

Every morning is a shelter

And every step in the distance,

Leaves scars on my skin.

In the line of my hand,

I have kept a thought for you:

You're the angel of my tale.

You're my desire...

You're my desire...

You're my desire to live!

[Chorus:]

Far away from you one cannot live happily,

Far away from you love doesn't suit me,

Far away from you this sorrow increases...

Far away from you war never ends!

Far away from you my moon is overcast

And winters are sheer madness

Far away from you... Far away from you!
