Un día no volvieron las ballenas
One day the whales didn't come back
Y las tortugas marinas se cansaron de llorar
And the sea turtles grew tired of crying
Que anda solo y triste el último jaguar
The last jaguar wanders lonely and sad
Y que ya no quieres regresar
And you no longer want to return
Siento que tu amor se ha ido extinguiendo
I feel your love has been fading away
Como el páramo, sufriendo toda su fragilidad
Like the moor, suffering all its fragility
Pobre de este hombre que te adora
Poor is this man who adores you
Si tú no decides regresar
If you don't decide to come back
Busco tus besos en peligro de extinción
I search for your kisses in danger of extinction
Como la sierra, como esta canción
Like the mountain range, like this song
Hay emergencia, se calienta el corazón
There's an emergency, the heart is heating up
Vivirá el planeta si salvo tu amor
The planet will live if I save your love
Me cuentan que la selva ha ido muriendo
They tell me the jungle has been dying
Que ya no hay flores de mayo y tampoco veraguará
That there are no more May flowers and no more veraguará
Que anda solo y triste el último jaguar
The last jaguar wanders lonely and sad
Y que ya no quieres regresar
And you no longer want to return
Siento que tu amor se ha ido extinguiendo
I feel your love has been fading away
Como el páramo, sufriendo toda su fragilidad
Like the moor, suffering all its fragility
Pobre manatí del Amazonas
Poor manatee of the Amazon
Si tú no decides regresar
If you don't decide to come back
Busco tus besos en peligro de extinción
I search for your kisses in danger of extinction
Como la sierra, como esta canción
Like the mountain range, like this song
Hay emergencia, se calienta el corazón
There's an emergency, the heart is heating up
Vivirá el planeta si salvo tu amor
The planet will live if I save your love
Vivirá el planeta si salvo tu amor
The planet will live if I save your love
¡Ay, Dios mío, cuida la gente!
Oh my God, take care of the people!
Busco tus besos en peligro de extinción
I search for your kisses in danger of extinction
Como la sierra, como esta canción
Like the mountain range, like this song
Hay emergencia, se calienta el corazón
There's an emergency, the heart is heating up
Vivirá el planeta si salvo tu amor
The planet will live if I save your love
Vivirá el planeta si salvo tu amor
The planet will live if I save your love
Vivirá el planeta si salvo tu amor
The planet will live if I save your love
