Lyrics

Español

Espérame en el cielo, corazón, Si es que te vas primero, Espérame que pronto yo me iré Allá donde tú estés. Espérame en el cielo, corazón, Si es que te vas primero, Espérame en el cielo, corazón, Para empezar de nuevo. Nuestro amor es tan grande y tan grande Que nunca termina, Y esta vida es tan corta y no basta Para nuestro idilio. Por eso yo te pido, por favor Me esperes en el cielo, Y allá entre las nubes de algodón Tendrás por fin mi amor.

English · machine translation

Wait for me in heaven, my heart, If you go first, Wait for me that soon I'll be gone Wherever you are. Wait for me in heaven, my heart, If you go first, Wait for me in heaven, my heart, To start all over again. Our love is so big and so great That it never ends, And this life is so short and not enough For our idyll. That's why I ask you, please Wait for me in heaven, And there among the cotton clouds You'll have my love at last.
