Lyrics:

Despues de tanto soportar la pena de sentir tu olvido,
Despues que todo te lo dio mi pobre corazon herido.

Haz vuelto a verme
para que yo sepa de tu desventura.
Por la amargura de un amor igual,
al que me diste tu.

Ya no podre ni perdonar
ni darte lo que tu me diste
haz de saber
que en un cariño muerto no existe rencor

Y si pretendes
remover las ruinas que tu misma hiciste

Solo cenizas quedaran de todo
lo que fue mi amor.


Translation:

After shouldering
the grief of your abandonment,
After everything my broken heart
gave to you.

You have come back,
So that I know if your misfortune,
The bitter result of a "love"
just like you offered me.

I am not capable of forgiving,
or returning what little you gave to me

You will learn, that a dead affection
doesn't hold any grudges

And if you intend,
to rebuild the ruins that you created,
Only Ashes will you find,
Of everything that was my love.
