Lyrics & Translation
Is it daytime or nighttime there?
That's a beautiful city
To go on vacation
And the hotel, is it really as romantic and luxurious
As in the advertisement?
With those beaches from the photos?
In Madrid it's raining and everything's still the same
Except that you're not here and time passes slowly
I'm dying for you to come back, it's been so long since you left
You're not going to fall in love there, are you?
You promised.
Please,
Call me when you can,
Because my loneliness and I
Don't get along well without you.
I spend the whole day planning
Our imagined meeting.
I'll kiss you
Like no one in this world has ever kissed you.
I'll love you
With body and mind, with skin and heart.
Come back soon, we're waiting for you,
My loneliness and I.
I'll kiss you
Like no one in this world has ever kissed you.
I'll love you
With body and mind, with skin and heart.
Come back soon, we're waiting for you,
My loneliness and I.
I won't keep you any longer,
I know someone is waiting for you.
Tell him to speak more quietly,
To the one who said not to be long.
Just one last favor, I'm asking you, before hanging up:
Tell him to take good care of you.
Do you promise me you will?
And now calm down,
Don't let him notice you've cried.
Act like you're okay,
Just like I do.
And meanwhile I'll keep thinking
Of our imagined meeting.
I'll kiss you
Like no one in this world has ever kissed you.
I'll love you
With body and mind, with skin and heart.
Come back soon, we're waiting for you,
My loneliness and I.
Like no one in this world has ever kissed you.
I'll love you
With skin and heart.
My loneliness and I.
I'll kiss you
Like no one in this world has ever kissed you.
I'll love you
With body and mind, with skin and heart.
Come back soon, we're waiting for you,
My loneliness and I.
