• By: José José, Valeria Lynch

Lyrics & Translation

Dive into the heart of Latin Pop Balada with 'Hay un Mañana,' a moving duet by legends José José and Valeria Lynch. This song is perfect for intermediate Spanish learners, offering a rich vocabulary of hope, reconciliation, and romantic longing. Pay special attention to the use of verb conjugations to express regret and future possibility, like 'recuperar' (to recover) and 'dormido está' (is asleep), which are key to conveying the emotional weight of a second chance.

[English]

Where are you?

Where are you?

Life goes on and you're not here

But my heart keeps searching for you

Here I am

Here I am

I lived waiting in vain

Reality made me grow up

That ending was hard

And I couldn't forget you

Your memory now lights me up

And it makes me think that there's a tomorrow to change

And together we can recover

That love (that love) that lies asleep

What happened?

What happened?

That silence drove you away

The night wrapped around you without saying goodbye

Enough already

Here I am

Come take my hand

Let me be your happiness

That ending was hard

And I couldn't forget you

Your memory now lights me up

And it makes me think that there's a tomorrow to change

And together we can recover

That love (that love) that lies asleep

That there's a tomorrow to change

And together we can recover

That love (that love) that lies asleep

That love that lies asleep

[Spanish]

¿Dónde estás?

¿Dónde estás?

La vida pasa y tú no estás

Pero mi corazón te vuelve a buscar

Aquí estoy

Aquí estoy

Viví esperando en vano

La realidad me hizo crecer

Fue duro aquel final

Y no te pude olvidar

Tu recuerdo ahora me ilumina

Y me hace pensar que hay un mañana por cambiar

Y juntos recuperar

Aquel amor (aquel amor) que dormido está

¿Qué pasó?

¿Qué pasó?

Aquel silencio te alejó

La noche te envolvió sin decir adiós

Basta ya

Aquí estoy

Ven a tomar mi mano

Déjame ser tu felicidad

Fue duro aquel final

Y no te pude olvidar

Tu recuerdo ahora me ilumina

Y me hace pensar que hay un mañana por cambiar

Y juntos recuperar

Aquel amor (aquel amor) que dormido está

Que hay un mañana por cambiar

Y juntos recuperar

Aquel amor (aquel amor) que dormido está

Aquel amor que dormido está
