| Que te importa que te llore | What's it to you that I'm crying | |

Dejame mentir que volveras, que volveras con el ayer, con el ayer de nuestro sueño... Dejame esperarte nada mas ya que comprendo que esperar es un pedazo de recuerdo Sé que este dolor es el dolor de comprender que no puede ser esa esperanza que me ahoga. Dejame llorar, siempre llorar y recordarte y esperar a comprender que no vendras. |
Leave me with my lie that you'll return, that you'll return with yesterday, the yesterday we dreamt together... Leave me here with nothing more to yearn now that I understand the way that yearning's just a recollection. I know that all my grief is just the ache of finding out the truth about my wish not coming true, and it floors me. Leave me crying ever after, crying and remembering you and trying to understand you'll never come again. |

Que te importa que te llore, que te importa que me mienta? Si han quedado rotos mis castillos del ayer, dejame hacer un Dios con sus pedazos! Que te importa lo que sufro, que te importa lo que lloro? Si no puede ser aquel ayer de la ilusion, dejame así, llorando nuestro amor. |
What's it to you that I'm crying, what's it to you that I tell me lies? If all my palace halls of yesterday have tumbled down, then let me bow in worship at the pieces! What do you care what I'm in pain for, what's it matter what I cry for? And if the yesterday of my illusion cannot be, then leave me me, to cry for our love. |

Mucho te espere sin comprender, sin comprender porque razon te has alejado y no volviste— mucho te espere, fatal dolor de consumir la soledad en el calor de lo que fuiste... Debes indicarme que camino continuar, ya que es imposible que se junten nuestras vidas... Dejame llorar, siempre llorar— no ves que ya ni sé que hablar ni que mentir ni que esperar? |
Long I waited for you unaware, all unaware of the reason why you went away from me forever— long I waited for you, dead with grief from spending all my time alone within the warmth of what is over... You have to tell me which among the pathways leads me on, now that it's plain impossible to live our lives together... Leave me crying, ever after crying— don't you see I'm out of words and out of lies and can't go wishing on? |

What's it to you that I'm crying, what's it to you that I tell me lies? If all my palace halls of yesterday have tumbled down, then let me bow in worship at the pieces! What do you care what I'm in pain for, what's it matter what I cry for? And if the yesterday of my illusion cannot be, then leave me me, to cry for our love. |
