[English]

All night long I waited

For her to come

But she never arrived

And sobbing, now I truly know

What it's like to spend

One more day without her

...

One more day without her

...

There's no use in crying

If I won't be able

To fill the space

That is empty today

Without her warmth...

How sad it is to spend

One more day without her

...

One more day without her

...

One day I met her and with her I went

To a happy world

She gave me her love

A love that later, crying,

I missed while spending one more day

Without her...

...

Love is so beautiful

That it envelops us both

In its gentle warmth

But that warmth turns to pain It breaks my heart if I spend

One more day without her

...

If I spend one more day without her

I'll die without her...

I'll cry without her

I'll die without her...

I'll cry without her...

I'll die without her...

...

[Spanish]

Toda la noche esperé

Que viniera ella

Pero no llegó

Y sollozando ahora bien que se

Lo que es pasar

Un día mas sin ella

Un día mas sin ella

No tiene caso llorar

Si no voy a poder

Llenar el lugar

Que hoy vacío esta

Sin su calor...

Que triste es pasar

Un día mas sin ella

Un día mas sin ella

Un día la conocí y con ella fui

A un mundo feliz

Me entregó su amor

Amor que después llorando

Extrañé pasando un día mas

Sin ella...

Es tan hermoso el amor

Que nos envuelve a los dos

En su suave calor

Pero ese calor se convierte en dolor Rompe mi corazón si paso

Un día mas sin ella

Si paso un día mas sin ella

Moriré sin ella...

Lloraré sin ella

Moriré sin ella...

Lloraré sin ella...

Moriré sin ella...
