Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Hey

Hey

Dime a dónde vas y si sabes tu destino

Tell me where you're going and if you know your destination

...

...

Hey

Hey

¿Dónde dejarás tus sueños escondidos?

Where will you hide your dreams?

Mira que la luna nos dejó

Look how the moon left us

Iluminados, bien de cerca

Illuminated, close up

Y a pesar de aquel adiós

And despite that farewell

Mi puerta siempre estuvo abierta

My door has always been open

Como antes

Like before

Ayer cabías en mi corazón

Yesterday you fit in my heart

Y te escondiste en un rincón

And you hid in a corner

Del otro lado

On the other side

Yo sé que la vida nos dejó

I know life left us

Saber que nuestro amor

Knowing that our love

No esta acabado

Is not over

No esta acabado

Is not over

Hey

Hey

Tu mirada, dice estar arrepentida

Your gaze says you're sorry

...

...

Hey

Hey

¡Dime si es verdad o es solo idea mía!

Tell me if it's true or just my imagination

Di que no es locura ni obsesión

Say it's not madness or obsession

Que no es capricho, simplemente

That it’s not a whim, simply

Dile que lo sientes y que yo

Tell him you’re sorry and that I

Nunca he dejado de quererte

Have never stopped loving you

Como antes

Like before

Ayer cabías en mi corazón

Yesterday you fit in my heart

Y te escondiste en un rincón

And you hid in a corner

Del otro lado

On the other side

Yo sé que la vida nos dejó

I know life left us

Saber que nuestro amor

Knowing that our love

No esta acabado

Is not over

Ayer cabías en mi corazón

Yesterday you fit in my heart

Y te escondiste en un rincón

And you hid in a corner

Del otro lado

On the other side

Yo sé que la vida nos dejó

I know life left us

Saber que nuestro amor

Knowing that our love

No esta acabado

Is not over

No esta acabado

Is not over

Hey

Hey

Dime a dónde vas y si sabes tu destino

Tell me where you're going and if you know your destination

...
