Recíbeme
Accept me
Y no trates de hacerme creer que ya todo ha pasado
And don't try to make me believe that it's all in the past
Yo sé muy bien
I know very well
Que te mueres por dentro mientras dices que has enfriado
That you're dying inside while you say you've cooled off
Te juro que
I swear to you that
Que de mí no te puedes quejar, yo te he respetado
You can't complain about me, I've respected you
Recíbeme, ay, mamá, recíbeme
Accept me, oh, mama, accept me
Recíbeme, ay, mamá, recíbeme
Accept me, oh, mama, accept me
A la hora que llegue
Whenever I arrive
No quiero caritas
I don't want any faces
Te buscaré
I'll search for you
Hasta que frente a frente me digas que ya no me quieres
Until you face me and tell me that you no longer love me
Recíbeme
Embrace me
Porque tarde o temprano verás que yo puedo encontrarte
Because sooner or later you'll see that I can find you
Tú sabes bien
You know well
Que hay amores que no se terminan tan fácilmente
That some loves don’t end so easily
Recíbeme, ay, mamá, recíbeme
Embrace me, oh, mama, embrace me
Recíbeme, ay, mamá, recíbeme
Embrace me, oh, mama, embrace me
(Si no sabes querer, ¿pa' qué va' a ponerte a correr después?)
(If you don’t know how to love, why would you start running away now?)
Te juro que de mí no te puedes quejar, yo siempre te he respetado
I swear you can't complain about me, I've always respected you
(Si no sabes querer, ¿pa' qué va' a ponerte a correr después?)
(If you don't know how to love, why would you start running later?)
Te buscaré de noche y de día porque tú eres la olvido mía
I will search for you day and night because you are my forgotten one
(Si no sabes querer, ¿pa' qué va' a ponerte a correr después?)
(If you don't know how to love, why would you start running later?)
A la hora que yo llegue, a la hora que tú quieras
At the time I arrive, at the time you want
A la hora que yo llegue, no quiero caritas
At the time I arrive, I don't want sad faces
(Si no sabes querer, ¿pa' qué va' a ponerte a correr después?)
(If you don't know how to love, why would you start running later?)
Yo no he sido el man perfecto, pero tengo mi momento
I haven't been the perfect man, but I have my moments
(Si no sabes querer, ¿pa' qué va' a ponerte a correr después?)
(If you don't know how to love, why would you start running later?)
Recíbeme, recíbeme, recíbeme, recíbeme
Receive me, receive me, receive me, receive me
(Si no sabes querer, ¿pa' qué va' a ponerte a correr después?)
(If you don't know how to love, why would you start running later?)
Ay, no le des el gusto a la gente para alejarte de mi ambiente
Oh, don't give people the satisfaction of pulling you away from my world
(Si no sabes querer, ¿pa' qué va' a ponerte a correr después?)
(If you don't know how to love, why are you going to run away later?)
Va' a ponerte a correr después
You're going to run away later
Va' a ponerte a correr después
You're going to run away later
Va' a ponerte a correr después
You're going to run away later
Va' a ponerte a correr después
You're going to run away later
Va' a ponerte a correr después
You're going to run away later
Va' a ponerte a correr después
You're going to run away later
Va' a ponerte a correr después
You're going to run away later
Va' a ponerte a correr después
You're going to run away later
Recíbeme, ay, mamá, recíbeme
Receive me, oh, mama, receive me
Recíbeme, ay, mamá, recíbeme
Receive me, oh, mama, receive me
Recíbeme, ay, mamá, recíbeme
Receive me, oh, mama, receive me
Recíbeme, ay, mamá, recíbeme
Receive me, oh, mama, receive me
Recíbeme, ay, mamá, recíbeme
Receive me, oh, mama, receive me
Recíbeme, ay, mamá, recíbeme
Receive me, oh, mama, receive me

About this song
Los Van Van is a Cuban band in the son genre that helped pioneer songo in the late 1960s, blending electric instruments, jazz influences, and dance-focused son with topical lyrics.
