Lyrics

Español

¡No estás! Te busco y ya no estás. Espina de la espera que lastima más y más... Gritar tu nombre enamorado. Desear tus labios despintados, como luego de besarlos... ¡No estás! Te busco y ya no estás. ¡Qué largas son las horas ahora que no estás!... Qué ganas de encontrarte después de tantas noches. Qué ganas de abrazarte, ¡qué falta que me haces!... Si vieras que ternura que tengo para darte, capaz de hacer un mundo y dártelo después. Y entonces, si te encuentro, seremos nuevamente, desesperadamente, los dos para los dos.

English · machine translation

You are not there! I look for you and you are no longer there. Thorn of the waiting that hurts more and more... Shout your name in love. Desire your unpainted lips, as after kissing them... You are not there! I look for you and you're gone. How long are the hours now that you are gone... How I long to find you after so many nights. How I long to embrace you, How much I miss you!... If you could see the tenderness I have to give you, capable of making a world and give it to you afterwards. And then, if I find you we will be again, desperately, the two of us for the two of us.
