Do we have lyrics, Daddy?

I found a recording on YouTube, but I couldn't make out the lyrics.

"Porque?"
¿Porqué tu me lloras así?
Yo no puedo verte sufrir
No sé lo que será de mí
Sin tenerte a mi lado
Como el fuego apagado
Yo me voy a sentir

No soy un hombre sín compasión
Yo quiero explicarte y darte la razón
Por cual nos separamos
Si algún día nos encontramos
Será posible de empezar de nuevo otra vez

¿Porqué tu me lloras así?
Yo no puedo verte sufrir
No sé lo que será de mí
Sin tenerte a mi lado
Como el fuego apagado
Yo me voy a sentir

Sin tenerte a mi lado
Como el fuego apagado
Yo me voy a sentir

English translation:
"Why?"
Why do you cry like that?
I can't bear to see you suffer
I don't know what will happen to me
Without you by my side
Like a burnt out fire
I'm gonna feel

I am not a man without feeling
I want to explain and give you a reason
For why we are going to part
But if one day we should meet again
It might be possible to start over

Why do you cry like that?
I can't bear to see you suffer
I don't know what will happen to me
Without you by my side

Like a burnt out fire
I'm gonna feel
Without you by my side
Like a burnt out fire
I'm gonna feel

Well, I think I've worked it out on my own. I tried an old trick someone taught me years ago and I'd nearly forgotten. Most of you probably know this already, but if you take the last note of a tune, that's frequently the key it's in. For this one, it turns out to be G (G, C, D7). Patting myself on the back now.
