Translation:
Porque no supiste entender a mi corazón,
Lo que había en él.
Porque no tuviste el valor
De ver quién soy.
Because you did not know how to understand my heart,
What was there in it.
Because you didn't have the courage
To see who I am.
Porque no escuchas
Lo que está tan cerca de ti,
Sólo el ruido de afuera
Y yo, que estoy a un lado
Desaparezco para ti.
Because you don't listen
To what is so close to you,
Just the noise from outside
And I, who am right beside
Disappear for you.
No voy a llorar y decir
Que no merezco esto porque
Es probable que lo merezco
Pero no lo quiero, por eso...
I am not going to cry and say
That I do not deserve this because
It's probable that I do deserve it
But I do not want it, that's why...
Me voy, qué lástima pero adiós
Me despido de ti y
Me voy, qué lástima pero adiós
Me despido de ti.
