[English]

Yeah

Since you left, it's snowing in Barranquilla

...

The rainbow shows in colors of black and white

Love is scarce and it's obtained through contraband

Since you're not here, everything about me has changed

I wish

That the clock would turn back

To stop you so you wouldn't leave

And ask you to stay, for you to lodge in my heart

If it were up to me, for all of my life

Having you far away is despairing

It's snowing even in the spring

And if you knew

That you stole the warmth

The clock froze, the flowers withered

You walked away and I felt like my life was taken from me

If I broke your heart, I swear I'll fix it

But I'll never be the same if I'm separated from you

If you knew that not even the wind is blowing anymore

I know that with time one adapts to everything

I'll be thinking of you if I'm ever with someone else

Every time they mention you, my mind gets stirred up

The weeks are years, the months seem like decades

I keep asking myself where you could be

I don't call because if it's me, I know you won't answer

If you have a good woman, take care of her and respect her

Or you're going to lose her like I lost her

She's one in a million, this man humbled himself

At her feet, just to ask for forgiveness

Head held high, I have to accept that I was the one who lost but

I wish

That the clock would turn back

To stop you so you wouldn't leave

And ask you to stay, for you to lodge in my heart

If it were up to me, for all of my life

Having you far away is despairing

It's snowing even in the spring

And if you knew

That you took the warmth

How to forget that December when I gave you the IP

You used to say yes to all my crazy things

I listen to music with the car empty

What a pain to know that we're strangers, baby

I hope you're doing well wherever you are

Love, show yourself so you can explain to me

What happened, what the hell did you and I do

Let's get back together but we won't tell anyone

After you

Another night after you

I want to fulfill everything I promised, yeah

You left but I didn't let go of the memories

We used to screw acapella

In bed I'd give you a beating

I'd be well-dressed and I'd show up with candles, yeah

For a babe like you, I'll endure the wait

You have the gift of being perfect every time you want to

For you I'll go to war, girl, if you asked me to

Your name sounds sweeter than an opera concert

You're the most beautiful thing in this atmosphere

And this poet ran out of words to decipher you

Besides being a woman, you're a work of art

Besides, I discover something new when I go over you

Your naked body is a painting by Picasso

You're the sun of Miami, the moon of Paris

If I were a tree, you would be my root

If you leave, leave me a scar

So I can remember this pain always made me happy

Don't leave me alone please because by your side

Life seems less worse

Don't leave me without your glow because I feel cold

When I lack your warmth

I wish

That the clock would turn back

To stop you so you wouldn't leave

And ask you to stay, for you to lodge in my heart

If it were up to me, for all of my life

Having you far away is despairing

It's snowing even in the spring

And if you knew

That you took the warmth

...

[Spanish]

Yeh

Desde que te fuiste en Barranquilla 'tá nevando

El arcoíri' luce de colore' blanco y negro

El amor e' escaso y se consigue en contrabando

Desde que no 'tás aquí, ha cambiado todo 'e mí

Quisiera

Que el reloj pa' atrás se devolviera

Detenerte pa' que no te fuera'

Y pedirte que te quede', que en mi corazón te hospede'

Si e' por mí toda la vida entera

Tenerte lejos desespera

Está nevando hasta en la primavera

Y si supiera'

Que el calor te lo robaste tú

El reloj se frezó, la' flores se marchitaron

Te alejaste y yo sentí que la vida me la quitaron

Si rompí tu corazón, te juro que yo lo reparo

Pero nunca seré el mismo si de ti yo me separo

Si supiera' que ya ni el viento sopla

Yo sé que a todo cambio con el tiempo uno se acopla

En ti voy a estar pensando si algún día 'toy con otra

Cada ve' que te mencionan la mente se me alborota

La semana' son año', lo' meses parecen década'

Me paso preguntándome a mí mismo que adónde estarás

No llamo porque si soy yo, sé que no contestarás

Si tiene' una mujer buena, cuídala y respétala

Si no va' a perderla como la perdí yo

E' una en un millón, este hombre se humilló

A sus pies, simplemente pa' pedirle perdón

La frente en alto, tengo que aceptar que fui el que perdió pero

Quisiera

Que el reloj pa' atrás se devolviera

Detenerte pa' que no te fuera'

Y pedirte que te quede', que en mi corazón te hospede'

Si e' por mí toda la vida entera

Tenerte lejos desespera

Está nevando hasta en la primavera

Y si supiera'

Que el calor te lo llevaste tú

Cómo olvidar ese diciembre cuando yo te regalé el IP

A mi' loqueras a toda' tú les decía' que sí

Escucho musica con el carro vacío

Qué mierda saber que somo' desconocidos, bebé

Espero que te encuentre' bien en dónde estés

Amor déjate ver para que me expliqués

Lo que pasó si cul'e vaina' tú y yo hicimo'

Volvamo' pero a nadie le decimo'

Tras de ti

Otra noche tras de ti

Quiero cumplir to' lo que prometí, yeh

Tú te fuiste pero lo' recuerdo' no lo' dejé ir

Chingábamos acapella

En la cama yo te daba la pela

Yo bien Valija y te llegaba con velas, yeh

Por una chimba como tú, yo me aguanto la espera

Tiene' el don de ser perfecta cada ve' que tú lo quiera'

Por ti voy a la guerra, nena, si me lo pidiera'

Tu nombre suena má' dulce que un concierto de ópera

Tú ere' lo má' lindo de esta atmósfera

Y este poeta se quedó sin palabra' pa' descifrarte

Ademá' de ser una mujer, tú ere' una obra de arte

Aparte descubro algo nuevo cuando te repaso

Tu cuerpo desnudo e' una pintura de Picasso

Ere' el sol de Miami, la luna de Paris

Si yo fuera un árbol, tú sería' mi raíz

Si te va' déjame una cicatriz

Pa' recordar este dolor siempre me hizo feliz

No me dejes solo por favor porque a tu lado

La vida parece meno' peor

No me dejes sin tu resplandor que siento frío

Cuando me hace falta tu calor

Quisiera

Que el reloj pa' atrás se devolviera

Detenerte pa' que no te fuera'

Y pedirte que te quede', que en mi corazón te hospede'

Si e' por mi toda la vida entera

Tenerte lejos desespera

Está nevando hasta en la primavera

Y si supiera'

Que el calor te lo llevaste tú
