Lyrics & Translation
Unlock the heart of bachata and the Spanish language with Prince Royce's emotive hit, "La Carretera." This song offers a beautiful opportunity to learn expressions of love, longing, and regret in a poetic context. The narrative of a journey on "the road" provides a rich metaphorical landscape for language learners to explore, making the process of learning Spanish both emotional and memorable.
And so many things I never got to say
And the moon from afar accompanies me
And brings me so many memories that I lost
And the radio is playing your song
The one we danced to so many times, you and I
And the rain falls so hard on my window
And evaporates like drops of your love
And the lights of the cars shine like stars in the sky of pain
The road keeps passing and I'm speeding up like someone searching for love
I'm looking for you like a madman
Tell me
Where will you be?
Where will you be?
Do you still think of me?
Where will you be?
Where will you be?
I keep thinking of you
I want to know if you still have a little love left for me
The road is getting long and I feel like I could die
I'm driving, I think the sun is about to rise
Oh, how I wish I could be in your room!
Your answering machine answers my call
I leave a message recorded with my voice
And I tell you that I miss you
That you are my whole life
That I'm drowning in alcohol
That I can't accept that it's over
This beautiful story
This story of us two
That guy who pretends
To kidnap your caresses
Will not be better than me
Don't doubt it
My love
Tell me
Where will you be?
Where will you be?
Do you still think of me?
Where will you be?
Where will you be?
I keep thinking of you
I want to know if you still have a little love left for me
The road is getting long and I feel like I could die
Tell me
Where will you be?
Where will you be?
Do you still think of me?
Oh tell me
Where will you be?
Where will you be?
I keep thinking of you
I want to know if you still have a little love left for me
The road is getting long and I feel like I could die
