The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
El amor que juraste
Simplemente una mentira
De aquellas que duelen
De las que lastiman
Que te dejan en la soledad perdida
No te tienes que disculpar
Solo sal por donde entraste
Que bien que jugaste
Que te la pasaste
Sin tener que perder solo una partida
Y te voy a olvidar
Y te dejaré atrás
Aunque te sueñe mi alma
Y te suplique el corazón
Y te voy a olvidar
Nunca regresarás
Aunque me llore la luna
Y me atormente esta canción
Qué bonito es quererse
Y dejarlo de hacerlo es justo
Lo que no se vale
Lo que no se debe
Es tener la sangre fría y traicionarse
Y te voy a olvidar
Y te dejaré atrás
Aunque te sueñe mi alma
Y te suplique el corazón
Y te voy a olvidar
Nunca regresarás
Aunque me llore la luna
Y me atormente esta canción
Y te voy a olvidar
Y te dejaré atrás
Aunque te sueñe mi alma
Y te suplique el corazón
Y te voy a olvidar
Y te dejaré atrás
Aunque te sueñe mi alma
Y te suplique el corazón
Y te voy a olvidar
Y te dejaré atrás
Simplemente una mentira
De aquellas que duelen
De las que lastiman
Que te dejan en la soledad perdida
No te tienes que disculpar
Solo sal por donde entraste
Que bien que jugaste
Que te la pasaste
Sin tener que perder solo una partida
Y te voy a olvidar
Y te dejaré atrás
Aunque te sueñe mi alma
Y te suplique el corazón
Y te voy a olvidar
Nunca regresarás
Aunque me llore la luna
Y me atormente esta canción
Qué bonito es quererse
Y dejarlo de hacerlo es justo
Lo que no se vale
Lo que no se debe
Es tener la sangre fría y traicionarse
Y te voy a olvidar
Y te dejaré atrás
Aunque te sueñe mi alma
Y te suplique el corazón
Y te voy a olvidar
Nunca regresarás
Aunque me llore la luna
Y me atormente esta canción
Y te voy a olvidar
Y te dejaré atrás
Aunque te sueñe mi alma
Y te suplique el corazón
Y te voy a olvidar
Y te dejaré atrás
Aunque te sueñe mi alma
Y te suplique el corazón
Y te voy a olvidar
Y te dejaré atrás

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
