Lyrics
¿Ves? He tratado inútilmente
de alejarme y olvidar...
Hoy que hay arrugas en mi frente
siento más la soledad...
Tal vez, al notarme avejentado,
pensarás que vengo a verte
porque estoy desesperado...
¡No! Ya los años me enseñaron
a templar mi corazón...

No he venido a suplicarte
ni un poquito de cariño
ni a que expliques tu silencio,
tus mentiras o tu olvido...
No es posible, vieja amiga,
nuestras vidas acercar...
Solo vine para verte,
para verte, nada más...

Ya poco falta para irme
con mi cruz a otro rincón...
Sé que al dejarte voy a hundirme
en la desesperación.
¿Será la emoción de mi partida,
que quisiera darte un beso
aunque deje en él mi vida?
¡Es que tus lágrimas me invitan
a besarte y a llorar!

No he venido a suplicarte
ni un poquito de cariño
ni a que expliques tu silencio,
tus mentiras o tu olvido...
No es posible, vieja amiga,
nuestras vidas acercar...
Ya me voy... y aquí te dejo
toda mi felicidad...
English translation
See? I have tried in vain
to move away and forget...
Today that there are wrinkles on my forehead
I feel the loneliness more...
Perhaps, when you notice me aging,
you'll think I've come to see you
because I am desperate...
No! The years have taught me
to temper my heart...

I have not come to beg you
not even a little bit of affection
nor to explain your silence,
your lies or your forgetfulness...
It is not possible, old friend,
to bring our lives closer...
I only came to see you,
to see you, nothing more...

It won't be long now before I leave
with my cross to another corner...
I know that when I leave you I'm going to sink
in despair.
Will it be the emotion of my departure
that I would like to give you a kiss
even if I leave my life in it?
Is it that your tears invite me
to kiss you and to cry!

I have not come to beg you
not even a little bit of affection
nor to explain your silence,
your lies or your forgetfulness...
It is not possible, old friend,
to bring our lives closer...
I'm leaving now... and here I leave you
all my happiness...
