The love of my life - El Amor de mi Vida - Camilo Sesto

Translation by Ben Bustillo – Prohibited its reproduction ©

It pains me more to leave you than to stop living,

It hurts more your goodbye,

Than the worst punishment imposed by God.

I can’t and I don’t want to forget you,

And I won’t give myself to someone else,

It’s impossible to try to escape,

Because wherever I go, you are inside of me.

The love of my life, it has been you,

My world was blind until I found your light,

I made mine your gestures, your laugh and your voice,

Your words, your life and all of your heart.

The love of my life, it has been you,

The love of my life, it continues to be you,

Inasmuch as you want, don’t fade me away,

On my knees I beg you, don’t leave me like this…

Why do you give me freedom to love?

If I prefer to be imprisoned by you,

Perhaps I wasn’t able to find a way,

To know you better and make you just for me.

The love of my life, it has been you,

My world was blind until I found your light,

I made mine your gestures, your laugh and your voice,

Your words, your life and all of your heart.

The love of my life, it has been you,

The love of my life, it continues to be you,

Inasmuch as you want, don’t fade me away,

On my knees I beg you, don’t leave me like this…

For much as I think, I can’t understand,

What was the reason to loose you?

Why do I suddenly feel lost?

In the back of your oblivion, your silence and disdain…
