Espera
Wait
Aún la nave del olvido no ha partido
The ship of forgetfulness hasn't set sail yet
No condenemos al naufragio lo vivido
Let's not condemn what we've lived to shipwreck
Por nuestro ayer, por nuestro amor, yo te lo pido
For our yesterday, for our love, I ask you
Espera
Wait
Aún me quedan en mis manos primaveras
I still have springs in my hands
Para colmarte de caricias todas nuevas
To shower you with all new caresses
Que morirían en mis manos si te fueras
That would die in my hands if you left
Espera un poco, un poquito más
Wait a little, just a bit more
Para llevarte mi felicidad
To take you my happiness
Espera un poco, un poquito más
Wait a little, just a bit more
Me moriría si te vas
I would die if you leave
Espera
Wait
Aún me quedan alegrías para darte
I still have joys left to give you
Tengo mil noches de amor que regalarte
I have a thousand nights of love to offer you
Te doy mi vida a cambio de quedarte
I'll give you my life in exchange for you to stay
Espera
Wait
No entendería mi mañana si te fueras
I wouldn't understand my tomorrow if you were gone
Y hasta te admito que tu amor me lo mintieras
And I even admit that you could lie to me about your love
Te adoraría aunque tú no me quisieras
I would adore you even if you didn't want me
Espera un poco, un poquito más
Wait a moment, just a little more
Para llevarte mi felicidad
To take my happiness to you
Espera un poco, un poquito más
Wait a moment, just a little more
Me moriría si te vas
I would die if you go
Espera un poco, un poquito más
Wait a moment, just a little more
Para llevarte mi felicidad
To take my happiness to you
Espera un poco, un poquito más
Wait a moment, just a little more
Me moriría si te vas
I would die if you go
Espera un poco, un poquito más
Wait a moment, just a little more
Para llevarte mi felicidad
To take my happiness to you
Espera un poco, un poquito más
Wait a little, just a bit more
Me moriría si te vas
I would die if you leave
