Marco, se ha marchado para no volver
Marco, he's left never to return
El tren de la mañana llega ya sin él
The morning train arrives now without him
Es solo un corazón con alma de metal
It's just a heart with a soul of metal
En esa niebla gris que envuelve la ciudad
In that gray fog that wraps the city
Su banco está vacío, marco, sigue en mí
His bench is empty, Marco, he remains in me
Le siento respirar, pienso que sigue aquí
I feel him breathing, I think he's still here
Ni la distancia enorme puede dividir
Not even the vast distance can divide
Dos corazones y un solo latir
Two hearts and a single beat
¡Quizás, si tú piensas en mi!
Perhaps, if you think of me!
Si a nadie tú quieres hablar
If you don't want to talk to anyone
Si tú te escondes como yo
If you hide like me
Si huyes de todo y si te vas
If you run from everything and leave
Pronto a la cama sin cenar
Soon to bed without dinner
Si aprietas fuerte contra ti
If you press tight against you
La almohada y te echas a llorar
The pillow and start to cry
Si tú no sabes cuánto mal
If you don't know how much pain
Te hará la soledad
Loneliness will bring you
Miro en mi diario tu fotografía
I look in my diary at your photograph
Con ojos de muchacho un poco tímido
With the eyes of a somewhat shy boy
Lo aprieto contra el pecho y me parece que
I hold it against my chest and it seems to me that
Estás aquí, entre inglés y matemáticas
You're here, between English and math
Tu padre y sus consejos qué monotonía
Your father and his advice, what a monotony
Por causa del trabajo y otras tonterías
Because of work and other nonsense
Te ha llevado lejos sin contar contigo
It's taken you far away without counting on you
Te ha dicho: "un día lo comprenderás"
He told you: 'One day you'll understand'
¡Quizás, si tú piensas en mi!
Maybe, if you think of me!
Con los amigos de veras
With friends for real
Tratando solo de olvidar
Just trying to forget
No es nada fácil la verdad
The truth isn't easy at all
En clase ya no puedo más
In class, I can no longer take it
Y por las tardes es peor
And in the afternoons it's worse
No tengo ganas de estudiar
I don't feel like studying
Por ti, mi pensamiento va
For you, my thoughts wander
¡Es imposible, dividir así
It's impossible to divide like this
La vida de los dos!
The life of the two of us!
Por eso espérame, cariño mío
So wait for me, my darling
Conserva la ilusión
Keep the hope alive
La soledad entre los dos
The loneliness between us
Este silencio en mi interior
This silence within me
Esa inquietud de ver pasar así
That restlessness of watching it all pass by
La vida sin tu amor
Life without your love
Por eso espérame, porque
So wait for me, because
Esto no puede suceder
This can't happen
Es imposible separar así
It's impossible to separate like this
La historia de los dos
The story of the two of us
La soledad entre los dos
The loneliness between us
Este silencio en mi interior
This silence within me
Esa inquietud de ver pasar así
That restlessness of watching it pass like this
La vida sin tu amor
Life without your love
Por eso espérame porque
So wait for me, because
Esto no puede suceder
This can't happen
Es imposible separar así
It's impossible to separate like this
La historia de los dos
The story of the two
La historia de los dos
The story of the two
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
¡La soledad!
Loneliness!
