Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Vengo a decirte lo mismo

I come to tell you the same

Que tantas veces te he dicho

That I’ve told you so many times

Eso que poco me cuesta

That small thing costs me little

Y que tú nunca has oído

And you’ve never heard it

Pequeña de las dudas infinitas

Little one, of endless doubts

Aquí estaré esperando mientras viva

I'll be waiting here as long as I live

...

...

Vengo a decirte que el tiempo

I come to say that time

Que ya llevamos perdido

That we’ve already lost

Es solo un punto pequeño

Is just a tiny point

En el cielo del olvido

In the sky of forgetfulness

Que todo el daño que tengo

All the pain I have

Y lo que ya hemos sufrido

And what we’ve already suffered

Tiene que servir de algo

Has to mean something

Para que hayas aprendido

So you’ve learned

Que como yo a veces sueño

That like I sometimes dream

Nadie ha soñado contigo

No one has dreamed of you

Que como te echo de menos

That like I miss you so much

No hay en el mundo un castigo

There’s no punishment in the world

Pequeña de las dudas infinitas

Little one, of endless doubts

Aquí estaré esperando mientras viva

I'll be waiting here as long as I live

No dejes que todo esto quede en nada

Don’t let all this end in nothing

Porque ahora estés asustada

Because now you’re scared

Vengo a decir que lo siento

I come to say I’m sorry

Aunque no tenga un motivo

Even if I have no reason

Para que cuando estés sola

So that when you’re alone

Sientas que a tu lado sigo

You feel I’m still by your side

Para que sientas que tienes

So that you feel you always have

Siempre a tu lado un amigo

A friend by your side

Porque no quiero perderte

Because I don’t want to lose you

No quiero ser yo el perdido

I don’t want to be the one lost

Que como yo a veces sueño

That like I sometimes dream

Nadie ha soñado contigo

Que como te echo de menos

No hay en el mundo un castigo

Pequeña de las dudas infinitas

Little one, of endless doubts

Aquí estaré esperando mientras viva

I'll be waiting here as long as I live

No dejes que todo esto quede en nada

Don’t let all this end in nothing

Porque ahora estés asustada

Pequeña de las dudas infinitas

Little one, of endless doubts

Aquí estaré esperando mientras viva

No dejes que todo esto quede en nada

Tranquila, que la luna no se apaga

Relax, the moon doesn’t go out

Que su luz siempre nos guarda

Its light always keeps us safe

Siempre nos guarda

It always keeps us safe

Siempre nos guarda

It always keeps us safe
