Si te vuelvo a llamar – Bilingual Lyrics Spanish/English

• By: Beret

Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Aunque el sol ya no quisiera

Even if the sun no longer wants to

Hacer el campo florecer

Make the field blossom

Ni tampoco la marea

Or the tide wants to

Quiera ahogar a su merced

Submerge itself at its mercy

Aunque el aire me golpea

Even if the air hits me hard

Yo tengo que comprender

I have to understand

Que hace daño sin quererlo y

That it hurts unintentionally and

Tú también

So do you

Si te vuelvo a llamar, no podrás contestarme tumbada en su pecho

If I call you again, you won't be able to answer me lying on his chest

Si te vuelvo a buscar y todo sale mal, cambiemos de universo

If I look for you again and everything goes wrong, let's change the universe

...

...

Y si fueras tan solo del tamaño de todos mis pensamientos

And if you were only the size of all my thoughts

...

...

No cabrías en el mundo, de las veces, vida, que yo al día te pienso

You wouldn't fit in the world, life, so many times a day I think of you

...

...

Quisiera abrazarte

I wish I could hold you

Como dos niños que por dentro lloran

Like two children crying inside

Y que nos falte el aire

And that we lack air

Y morir juntos a la misma hora

And die together at the same time

Si pudiera entregarte, amor

If I could give you, love

El amor que entregaste

The love you gave

Nunca más te sentirías sola

You'd never feel alone again

...

...

Cómo explicarías que al fuego

How would you explain that a fire

Que quema todo a su paso

That burns everything in its path

Si entra por tu corazón

If it enters your heart

No logra descongelarlo

It can't melt

Aunque el huracán no quiera

Even if the hurricane doesn't want to

Destruir todo a sus pies

Destroy everything at its feet

Hace daño sin quererlo y

It hurts unintentionally and

Yo también

So do I

Si te vuelvo a llamar, no podrás contestarme tumbada en su pecho

If I call you again, you won't be able to answer me lying on his chest

...

...

Si te vuelvo a buscar y todo sale mal, cambiemos de universo

If I look for you again and everything goes wrong, let's change the universe

...

...

Y si fueras tan solo del tamaño de todos mis pensamientos

And if you were only the size of all my thoughts

...

No cabrías en el mundo, de las veces, vida, que yo al día te pienso

If I could give you, love

El amor que entregaste

The love you gave

Nunca más te sentirías sola

You'd never feel alone again
