Yo te esperaré, nos sentaremos juntos frente al mar
I will wait for you, we'll sit together by the sea
Y de tu mano podré caminar
And with your hand, I can walk
Y aunque se pase toda mi vida, yo te esperaré
And even if my whole life passes, I will wait for you
Sé que en tus ojos todavía hay amor
I know that in your eyes, there is still love
Y tu mirada dice "volveré"
And your gaze says 'I'll return'
Y aunque se pase toda mi vida, yo te esperaré
And even if my whole life passes, I will wait for you
Sin saber de la cuenta regresiva, pienso
Without knowing about the countdown, I think
Que aunque no he vuelto a ser el mismo, y lo confieso
That even though I haven't been the same, and I confess
Espero que el perdón esté en tu mente, y yo te rezo
I hope that forgiveness is in your mind, and I pray for you
Pero aunque soy sincero y lo prometo, no me miras
But even though I'm sincere and I promise, you don't look at me
Después abres la puerta y digo: "si te vas, no vuelvas"
Then you open the door and I say: 'if you leave, don't come back'
La rabia me consume y lloras
Rage consumes me and you cry
Te alejas caminando y la vida se me desploma sin saberlo
You walk away, and life collapses on me without me knowing
Te lo juro, no lo sabía, y de haberlo sabido otra suerte sería
I swear to you, I didn't know, and had I known, it would have been a different fate
Cuatro de septiembre, mi frase "si te vas no vuelves" me persigue
September fourth, my phrase 'if you leave, you don't come back' haunts me
Y siento ganas de llamarte, pero no contestas
And I feel like calling you, but you don't answer
No entiendo por qué no contestas
I don't understand why you don't answer
Si aunque hayamos peleado todo sigue
Even if we have fought, everything continues
Siete de septiembre, la llamada que llegaría
September seventh, the call that was about to come
Me dicen que ahí estás, que no llame a la policía, luego cuelgan
They tell me you're there, not to call the police, then they hang up
Todavía no pierdo la fe
I still haven't lost faith
Sé que algún día volverás, y pase lo que pase
I know that someday you'll return, no matter what happens
Yo te esperaré, nos sentaremos juntos frente al mar
I will wait for you, we'll sit together by the sea
Y de tu mano podré caminar
And with your hand, I'll be able to walk
Y aunque se pase toda mi vida, yo te esperaré
And even if my whole life passes, I will wait for you
Sé que en tus ojos todavía hay amor
I know that in your eyes there is still love
Y tu mirada dice "volveré"
And your gaze says 'I'll return'
Y aunque se pase toda mi vida, yo te esperaré
And even if my whole life passes, I will wait for you
Siento que me quitaron un pedazo de mi alma
I feel like they've taken a piece of my soul away
Si te vas no queda nada, queda un corazón sin vida
If you leave, nothing remains, just a heart without life
Que a raíz de tu partida se quedó solo gritando, pero a media voz
That since your departure, it has been left alone shouting, but in a half voice
Siento que la vida se me va porque no estoy contigo
I feel that life is slipping away from me because I'm not with you
Siento que mi luna ya no está si no está tu cariño
I feel that my moon is no longer here if your love is not with me
Ni toda la vida ni toda el agua del mar
Not all of life nor all the water in the sea
Podrá apagar todo el amor que me enseñaste tú a sentir
Can extinguish all the love you taught me to feel
Sin ti yo me voy a morir, solo si vuelves quiero despertar
Without you, I'm going to die; only if you come back, I want to wake up
Porque lejos no sirve mi mano para caminar
Because far away, my hand is useless for walking
Porque solo espero que algún día puedas escapar
Because I only hope that someday you can escape
Yo te esperaré, nos sentaremos juntos frente al mar
I will wait for you; we will sit together facing the sea
Y de tu mano podré caminar
And with your hand, I will be able to walk
Y aunque se pase toda mi vida, yo te esperaré
And even if my whole life goes by, I will wait for you
Sé que en tus ojos todavía hay amor
I know that in your eyes there is still love
Y tu mirada dice: "volveré"
And your gaze says: 'I will return'
Y aunque se pase toda mi vida, yo te esperaré
And even if my whole life goes by, I will wait for you
Si tú te vas no queda nada
If you leave, nothing remains
Sigo cantando con la luz apagada
I keep singing with the lights off
Porque la guerra me quitó tu mirada
Because the war took away your gaze from me
Y aunque se pase toda mi vida, yo te esperaré
And even if my whole life goes by, I will wait for you
Si tú te vas no queda nada
If you leave, nothing remains
Sigo cantando con la luz apagada
I keep singing with the lights off
Porque la guerra me quitó tu mirada
Because the war took your gaze from me
Y aunque se pase toda mi vida, yo te esperaré
And even if my whole life passes, I will wait for you
Cali y el Dandee, oh
Cali and El Dandee, oh
Si tú te vas no queda nada
If you leave, there will be nothing left
Sigo cantando con la luz apagada
I keep singing with the light turned off
Porque la guerra me quitó tu mirada
Because the war took your gaze from me
Y aunque se pase toda mi vida, yo te esperaré
And even if my whole life passes, I will wait for you
Si tú te vas, no queda nada
If you leave, there will be nothing left
Sigo cantando con la luz apagada
I keep singing with the light turned off
Porque la guerra me quitó tu mirada
Because the war took your gaze from me
Y aunque se pase toda mi vida, yo te esperaré
And even if my whole life passes by, I will wait for you.
