Lyrics

Español

Quedó en venir a las nueve “El domingo si no llueve...” La espera, recordando se entretiene Ella es tan linda, ella es tan buena. ¿Qué le habrá pasado a Elena, que no viene, que no llega?... Quedó en venir a las nueve Y ya son las nueve y diez. Yo sé que apenas llegue Lo primero que dirá: “Con quién me puse a bailar o qué otra chica miré.” Y ella lo sabe muy bien Que sólo me ata a la vida La dicha de su querer. Tal vez apenas llegue Comprendiendo mi ansiedad, Conmigo salga a bailar Y me devuelva la fe. Pero... quedó en venir a las nueve Y ya son casi las diez. El baile está en lo más lindo Esta noche de domingo, La espera, en esta duda desespera Si ella es tan linda, si ella es tan buena. ¿Qué le habrá pasado a Elena que no vino, que no llega? Quedó en venir a las nueve Y ya son más de las diez.

She agreed to come at nine "On Sunday if it doesn't rain..." He waits, keeping himself busy remembering She's so lovely, she's so good. What can have happened to Elena, that she doesn't come, that she doesn't arrive?... She agreed to come at nine And it's ten past nine already. I know that the moment she arrives The first thing she'll say is: "Who did I dance with or what other girl did I look at." And she knows very well That the only thing that binds me to life Is the happiness of her loving. Perhaps the moment she arrives Understanding my anxiety, She'll come out to dance with me And give me back my faith. But... she agreed to come at nine And it's almost ten already. The dance is at its loveliest This Sunday night, He waits, and in this doubt despairs If she's so lovely, if she's so good. What can have happened to Elena that she didn't come, that she doesn't arrive? She agreed to come at nine And it's gone ten already.
