Un corazón hecho pedazos [English translation]

Since I was a little girl

I used to dream of beautiful things,

And I'd always wake up

Crying.

But now

That I'm a woman, all I can do is keep wishing...

If I could only spend my life dreaming!

I know very well what you've come to do,

Our scars are healed

But wait, don't leave yet:

There is something I have to tell you.

Chorus:

What is wrong with having a heart torn to pieces

That you could forgive with just a few tears?

I recognize that I've lost in this game

And now I'm paying the price

For not being able to cry...

It's strange;

Now that I see everything clearly

My dreams

Crumble before me.

You're leaving,

I know that someone else is waiting for you.

All I can say, now

Is that I'm sorry.

I don't pretend that you understand me.

I know it: you want to leave right now

If I'm the one to blame,

I just want to ask you...

Chorus

Now, turn around!

And, for this time only,

Be certain

As you watch me cry.

I recognize that I've lost in this game

And now I'm paying the price

For not being able to cry...

Chorus

I recognize that I've lost in this game

And now I'm paying the price

For not being able to cry...
