Por el amor de una mujer [English translation]

For the love of a woman

I played with fire without knowing

It was me who was catching fire

I drank from the pleasure fountains

Until I finally understood

That the one she loved was not me

For the love of a woman

I gave away everything I was

And the most beautiful things in my life

But that time I lost back then

Will prove useful to me

When my wound heals properly

Still, everything seems like a dream to me

But I know that in the end I will be able to forget, one day

Today I feel sad but soon I will sing again

And I promise I will never recall yesterday

For the love of a woman

I cried and bordered insanity

While she just laughed

I broke a crystal in pieces

I let the blood in mi veins run loose

For I didn't know what I was doing

For the love of a woman

I gave away everything I was

And the most beautiful things in my life

But that time I lost back then

Will prove useful to me

When my wound heals properly
