[English]

And how are you doing...

Since you left...

Everything has changed...

Nothing is the same anymore.

Every moment,

Every moment,

I think of you

I search for you in the wind,

In those places

That we used to go.

Although I don’t see you,

Although I don’t have you

You are here

Every moment,

Every moment,

I hold on to you

You have gone far away,

Friend from a distance,

Bring her to me

So many memories,

Come to my mind,

They make me suffer

And how are you doing...

And how are you doing...

Since you left,

Everything has changed,

Nothing is the same anymore.

And how are you doing...

And how are you doing...

I will be patient,

My whole life,

I will wait for you.

Every moment,

Every moment,

You live in me

I carry you in my soul,

I carry you in my mind,

More each day

Take this pain away from me,

That always overwhelms me,

Because I can’t see you anymore

And how are you doing...

And how are you doing...

Since you left,

Everything has changed,

Nothing is the same anymore.

And how are you doing...

And how are you doing...

I will be patient,

My whole life,

I will wait for you.

[Spanish]

Y cómo te va...

Desde que te fuiste...

Todo ha cambiado...

Ya nada es igual.

A cada momento,

A cada momento,

Pienso en ti

Te busco en el viento,

En aquellos lugares

Que solíamos ir.

Aunque no te vea,

Aunque no te tenga

Tu estás aquí

A cada momento,

A cada momento,

Me aferro a ti

Que lejos te has ido,

Amiga a distancia,

Tráela a mí

Tantos recuerdos,

Vienen a mi mente,

Me hacen sufrir

Y cómo te va...

Y cómo te va...

Desde que te fuiste,

Todo ha cambiado,

Ya nada es igual.

Y cómo te va...

Y cómo te va...

Seré paciente,

Toda la vida,

Te voy a esperar.

A cada momento,

A cada momento,

Vives en mí

Te llevo en mi alma,

Te llevo en mi mente,

Cada día más

Quítame esta pena,

Que siempre me agobia,

Por no verte más

Y cómo te va...

Y cómo te va...

Desde que te fuiste,

Todo ha cambiado,

Ya nada es igual.

Y cómo te va...

Y cómo te va...

Seré paciente,

Toda la vida,

Te voy a esperar.
