Yo te esperaba
I was expecting you
Yo te esperaba y veia mi cuerpo crecer
mientras buscaba el nombre que te di
en el espejo fui la luna llena y de perfil
contigo dentro, jamas fui tan feliz
I was expecting you and seeing my body grow larger
while I searched for the name I was to give you
on the mirror I was a full moon seen from a side
with you inside, I had never been so happy
Moria por sentir tus piernecitas fragiles
pateando la obscuridad de mi vientre maduro
I was dying to feel your fragile little legs
kick the darkness of my mature womb
Soñar no cuesta no
y con los ojos humedos
te veia tan alto es mas
en la cima del mundo
Dreaming costs nothing
and with damp eyes
I pictured you so tall, or what's more,
at the top of the world
Yo te esperaba
imaginando a ciegas el color
de tu mirada y el timbre de tu voz
I was expecting you
imagining blindly the colour
of your gaze and the sound of your voice
Muerta de miedo
le rogaba al cielo que te deje
llegar lejos, mucho mas que yo
Scared to death
I would beg for heaven's sake that you
would get far, much further than me
Yo te esperaba
y pintaba sobre las paredes
de tu cuarto cuentos en color
restaba sin parar, dias al calendario
solo tú me podias jugar
el mono de escenario
I was expecting you
and painted on the walls
of your room tales in colours
I'd relentlessly deduct days from the calendar
only you could play for me
the stage character
El mundo es como es
y no puedo cambiartelo
pero siempre te seguire
para darte una mano
The world is like it is
and I can't change it for you
but I'll always be behind you
to give you a hand
Yo te esperaba
imaginando a ciegas el color
de tu mirada y el timbre de tu voz
Hoy que te tengo
pido al cielo que me deje verte llegar lejos
mucho mas que yo
Now that I have you
I ask heaven to let me see you get far
much further than me
Yo te esperaba
y el espejo nos miraba mientras
ya te amaba
I was expecting you
and the mirror would look at us while
I already loved you
