El Hubiera No Existe (en inglés)

El Hubiera No Existe
I would have preferred to lose in battle
My soul, rather than losing you
I would have give you my ration of air
And although it’s late, breathe for you
If I had said everything, without holding anything back
I was frightened of not saying it right
If I had the way to change everything
Or some way of flying back to yesterday

But no, it doesn’t exist, the ‘would have’ doesn’t exist
Only the continuation remains
And although I regret it, there’s no ticket back
To ask for your forgiveness, no, no
I would have given you much longer embraces
Without us moving, just imagining
If I hadn’t forgotten how much I loved you
I didn’t think I’d see you again
But no, it doesn’t exist, the ‘would have’ doesn’t exist
Only the continuation remains
And although I regret it, there’s no ticket back
To ask for your forgiveness, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, it doesn’t exist, the ‘would have’ doesn’t exist
Only the continuation remains
The song 'El Hubiera No Existe' by Carlos Rivera, translated as 'The Would Have Doesn’t Exist' in English, beautifully conveys the emotions of regret and longing for a lost love...
