No sabía de tristezas
Ni de lágrimas, ni nada
Que me hicieran llorar

Yo sabía de cariño
De ternura
Porque a mí desde pequeño
Eso me enseñó mamá
Eso me enseñó mamá
Eso y muchas cosas más

Yo jamás sufrí, yo jamás lloré
Yo era muy feliz
Yo vivía muy bien

Hasta que, te conocí
Vi la vida con dolor
No te miento fui feliz
Aunque con muy poco amor

Y muy tarde aprendí
Que no te debía amar
Porque ahora pienso en ti
Más que ayer, mucho más

Yo vivía tan distinto
Algo hermoso, algo divino
Lleno de felicidad
Yo sabía de alegrías
La belleza de la vida
Pero no de soledad
Pero no de soledad
De eso y muchas cosas más

Yo jamás sufrí, yo jamás lloré
Yo era muy feliz
Yo vivía muy bien

Hasta que te conocí
Vi la vida con dolor
No te miento fui feliz
Aunque con muy poco amor

Y muy tarde comprendí
Que no te debía amar
Porque ahora pienso en ti
Más que ayer, mucho más

Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

Ahora quiero que me digas
Si valió o no la pena
El haberte conocido
Porque no te creo más

Y es que tu fuiste muy mala
Si muy mala conmigo
Por eso no te quiero
No te quiero ver jamás

Vete, Vete
Vete, salte de mi pena
Vete, no te quiero
No te quiero ver jamás
