Si Me Dejas Ahora [English translation]

If you leave me now.

I will not be able to survive [live].

I was chained to your skirt

and you taught my soul to depend on you.

You bound my skin to your skin.

And your mouth to my mouth.

You nailed your mind to mine

like a sword in the rock

and now you leave me like me

like I was worthless.

If you leave me now.

I will not be able to feel anything again.

You separated me from everything.

and now let me sink in the mud.

It's hard for me to believe

you have no heart.

I've been in your chain of love...

only a link,

and in your ladder a rung

which you do not care to step on

and do damage.

I'm caught in the nets[web] of a poem.

It is you who can help me or condemn me.

You're the best of my past.

It's you, who has left me in love.

It's you, only you.

It's you, only you.

If you leave me now

my spirit will follow you

and will ride day and night

feeling dreamy and quixotic [like Don Quixote, clueless].

Because you bound my skin to your skin.

and your mouth to my mouth.

You nailed your mind to mine

like a sword in the rock.

and now you leave me like me

like I was worthless.

I'm caught between the nets[web] of a poem.

It's you, who can help me or condemn me.

You're the best of my past.

It's you, who has left me in love.

It's you, only you ...

It's you, only you ...

only for the best.
