AL PERDERTE YO A TI	WHEN I LOST YOU

Al perderte yo a ti	When I lost you,
Tu y yo hemos perdido:	you and I have lost:
Yo por que tú eras	I, because you were
Lo que yo más amaba	the one I loved the most
Y tú por que yo era	And you, because I was
El que te amaba más.	the one who loved you the most.
Pero de nosotros dos	But of we two,
Tú pierdes más que yo:	you lose more than I:
Porque yo podré amar a otros	Because I will be able loving the other ones
Como te amaba a ti,	as I loved you
Pero a ti no te amarán	But no one will love you
Como te amaba yo.	as I loved you.
