Catalina

You told me you needed time
and in that time, I lost you
I know I wasn't perfect for you
and you were a dream for me

And I started thinking about the past
about everything I gave you
I said maybe it was too much
and after a while, I understood

So I went to a friend who could give you advice
I told her to tell you I couldn't forget you
I left my family and I left my town
but my Catalina, I truly loved you

You know love gives us life
I realized that when I saw you
I felt the pain that day
and I knew everything has an end

So I went to a friend who could comfort me
and he showed me his dreams to try to escape
It's true, Catalina, I truly loved you
and even though you were far, you wouldn't let me be

And I went to a gypsy to buy some peace
and when he took my hands, he discovered my loneliness
I swear, Catalina, I couldn't forget you
I'm telling you it's not a lie, I truly loved you

You know how the years pass us by
how pain changes us
And I know today I'm a stranger to you
and now you miss that love

In a neighboring country, I met a girl
she told me she came from the place I escaped
And I found out she's your cousin, Catalina, my love
I beg you to forgive me, please don't be mad

I'm sorry, Catalina, for what I'm about to say
you have no way out, now it's your turn to suffer
Your cousin taught me another reality some time ago
I swear, Catalina, that I loved you.
