Si te vas [English translation]

If you leave, you'll leave only once,

for me you'll be dead.

I ask you to let me know it,

I want to be awake.

Because if you leave, I want to believe

that you'll never return.

Tell me and it will be way less cruel,

I always knew to lose.

If you leave, I want to seee you leave,

to know that you're gone.

Without farewells, love and death

are never oblivion.

Your skin is a bird, my love is wind,

I can understand you.

Without knowing why you won't go,

I want to bid you farewell.

And it won't be because of that

that we're split.

Even if you don't leave,

our love is over.

But if you leave, I want to believe

that you'll never return.

If you leave, with or without love,

you must leave now.

Your nostalgies and your past escapes

no longer make me fall in love.

Look at yourself live, sparrow blood,

you lacked the heart...

I can be, if you want to go,

the one who helps you to depart.

If you leave, don't go like that,

take your life with you.

If you can't forget me and leave,

you'll fly wounded.

Leave without pain, you must understand

I'm the same as before.

There's no better love than the one that passed,

one feels it in the farewell.
