Lyrics[]
Mercedes:
Sometimes it's hard to make things clear
Or know when to face the truth
And I know that the moment is here
I'll open my heart and show you inside
My love has no pride
I feel with you I've got nothing to hide
So open your eyes and see who I am
And not who you want for me to be
I am only myself, myself
Si voy a perderte ya
Que sea por vez final
Si voy a perderte ya
Es para siempre ¿Entiendes?
Que prefiero dejarte ir
Y aprender a vivir sin ti
Porque si voy a perderte ya
No vuelvas
We all make mistakes
We all lose our way
But we stood the test of time and I hope
That's the way it will stay
Oh-ho yeah
It's all up to you
To tell me to go
'Cause it won't be me to walk away
When you're all that I know
And I know
Si voy a perderte ya
Que sea por vez final
Si voy a perderte ya
Es para siempre ¿Entiendes?
Que prefiero dejarte ir
Y aprender a vivir sin ti
Porque si voy a perderte ya
No vuelvas
No vuelvas jamás
Si voy a perderte
Perderte ya
Que sea por vez final
Si voy a perderte ya
Si voy a perderte
Voy a perderte ya
Ye-ah
No, no vuelvas
No, no vuelvas
No vuelvas
Si voy a perderte ya
Trivia[]
- Mercedes sings in spanish: "Si voy a perderte ya que sea por vez final". But the sentence is badly formed. The correct sentence is: "Si ahora voy a perderte, que sea por última vez".
- Gloria Estefan, who is the original singer of this song, guest starred as Maribel Lopez, in the Season Three episode, Goodbye, and the Season Six episode, A Wedding.
