Con tus besos despertábamos, tú dormías mientras Silvia y yo
With your kisses we would wake up, you slept while Silvia and I
Íbamos a aquella escuela que nos decías "váis para aprender"
Went to that school you told us 'you're going to learn'
Y a vivir nos enseñabas tú, cada día más aún
And you taught us to live, more every day
Con tus ojos llenos de ese amor, por dos hijas locas de ilusión
With your eyes full of that love, for two daughters crazy with hope
Qué no haría yo, porque el tiempo no se fuera, no
What wouldn't I do, so that time wouldn't slip away, no
He aprendido a cantar por ti lo sé, en las noches de estío en el café
I've learned to sing because of you, I know, in the summer nights at the café
He adquirido mi coraje,y he encontrado el camino y la alegría
I've gained my courage, and I've found the path and the joy
De tu fuerza y de tu melancolía, de tu imagen de tu instante
From your strength and your melancholy, from your image, from your moment
En las fiestas no te vi jamás, las pasamos siempre con mamá
At the parties I never saw you, we always spent them with mom
El trabajo te alejaba un día y tu soledad la hacía mía
Work kept you away one day and your solitude became mine
Que no haría yo, para darte el tiempo que pasó
What wouldn't I do, to give you the time that's gone by
He aprendido a entregarme como tú, arriesgándolo todo y más aún
I've learned to give myself like you, risking everything and even more
He aprendido tu coraje, y he entendido tus típicas manías
I've learned your courage, and I've understood your typical quirks
Que ahora son para mí tu gran virtud
That now are, for me, your great virtue
Pues la meta de mi viaje eres tú
For the goal of my journey is you
Y es así, soy como tú
And this is how it is, I am like you
Siempre algo más, cada sonrisa y cada lágrima
Always something more, each smile and each tear
He adquirido tu coraje, y he aprendido a saber en quien confiar
I've gained your courage, and I've learned who to trust
En la vida yo sigo sin dudar, mi camino en este viaje por ti, junto a ti
In life I carry on without doubt, my path in this journey for you, alongside you
He adquirido mi coraje, me despierto en casa cada día
I've found my courage, I wake up at home every day
Pienso en cuando ayer no te tenía y también en qué podría hacer, para darte el tiempo que se fue...
I think about when yesterday I didn't have you and also about what I could do, to give you the time that has gone...
