SOBREVIVIR

At first, I was afraid, por Gloria Gaynor

I was petrified.
I kept thinking Al principio, tena miedo,
I could never live without you by my side. Estaba petrificada.
But then I spent so many nights Segua pensando
Just thinking how you did me wrong.
Que nunca podra vivir sin ti a mi lado.
And I grew strong.
Pero luego, pas tantas noches
I learned how to get along.
Solamente pensando en cmo me heriste.
So, now you're back Y me volv fuerte.
From outer space. Aprend a sobrellevarlo.
I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face. Y ahora vuelves
I should have changed that stupid lock. Del espacio exterior.
I should have made you leave your key, Simplemente entr y te encontr aqu
If I had known for just one second Sin esa mirada en tu cara.
You'd be back to bother me. Debera haber cambiado esa estpida
cerradura.
[Chorus:] Debera haberte hecho dejar la llave,
Oh, now go,
Si hubiera sabido, por slo un segundo,
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now. Que volveras para molestarme.
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one [Estribillo:]
Who tried to break me with desire? Oh, ahora vete,
Did you think I'd crumble? Sal por la puerta.
Did you think I'd lay down and die? Slo da la vuelta ahora.
Oh, no, not I. Ya no eres ms bienvenido.
I will survive. No eras t

Pues no, yo no.

It took all the strength I had Tengo toda mi vida para vivir.
Just not to fall apart. Tengo todo mi amor para dar.
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces Sobrevivir.
Of my broken heart. Sobrevivir.
And I spent so many nights S, s.
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry. Me llev todas las fuerzas que tena
But now, I hold my head up high. No caerme en pedazos.
Estoy intentando arreglar las piezas
And you see me
De mi corazn partido.
With somebody new.
Y pas tantas noches
I'm not that stupid little person
Still in love with you. Compadecindome de m misma.
And so, you thought you'd just drop by Sola llorar.
And you expect me to be free. Pero ahora, no me avergenzo.
But now I'm saving all my love
For someone who's loving me. Y ya me ves
