Si pudiera detener el tiempo
If I could stop time
Y echarle un vistazo al pasado
And take a glance at the past
Si el ayer fuera el hoy
If yesterday were today
O el hoy el ayer
Or today were yesterday
Si pudiera volverte a ver
If I could see you again
Si pudiera una botella guardar tiempos
If I could bottle up moments
Y acudir a ellos en la tristeza
And turn to them in sadness
Buscaría cada uno de los días de ayer
I would search through every day of yesterday
Procurando volverte a ver
Trying to see you again
Y es que estoy aquí buscando en el ayer
And it's just that I'm here, looking back in the past
Lo que no encuentro hoy
What I can't find today
El tiempo en una botella para acudir
Time in a bottle to come to you
A ella cuando quiera
Whenever she wants
Buscaría en la botella tu sonrisa
I would seek in the bottle your smile
Y tu forma de andar por el mundo
And your way of walking through the world
Si pudiera una botella guardar tiempos de ayer
If I could keep a bottle of yesterday's times
Buscaría volverte a ver
I would seek to see you again
Y es que estoy aquí buscando en el ayer
And here I am looking in the past
Lo que no encuentro hoy
What I can't find today
El tiempo en una botella para acudir
Time in a bottle to come to you
A ella cuando quiera
To her whenever she wants
