Translation

Yo te esperaba

I was waiting for you

Y veía mi cuerpo crecer

And I saw my body grow

Mientras buscaba

While I was searching

El nombre que te di

The name I gave you


En el espejo

In the mirror

Fui la Luna llena y de perfil

I was the full moon, and in profile

Contigo dentro

With you inside

Jamás fui tan feliz

I was never so happy


Moría por sentir

I was dying to feel

Tus piernecitas frágiles

Your fragile little legs

Pateando la oscuridad

Kicking the darkness

De mi vientre maduro

Of my mature belly


Soñar no cuesta, no

Dreaming doesn't cost, no

Y con los ojos húmedos

And with moist eyes

Te veía tan alto, es más

I saw you so tall, it's more

En la cima del mundo

On top of the world


Yo te esperaba

I was waiting for you

Imaginando a ciegas el color de tu mirada

Blindly imagining the color of your gaze

Y el timbre de tu voz

And the tone of your voice

Muerta de miedo

Scared to death

Le rogaba al cielo que te deje llegar lejos

I begged the sky to let you go far

Mucho más que yo

Much more than me


Yo te esperaba

I was waiting for you

Y pintaba sobre las paredes de tu cuarto

And I painted on the walls of your room

Sueños en color

Dreams in color

Restaba sin parar

I subtracted without stopping

Días al calendario

Days from the calendar

Solo tú me podías curar

Only you could heal me

El mono de escenario

The stage monkey


El mundo es como es

The world is as it is

Y no puedo cambiártelo

And I can't change it for you

Pero siempre te seguiré

But I will always follow you

Para darte una mano

To give you a hand


Yo te esperaba

I was waiting for you

Imaginando a ciegas el color de tu mirada

Blindly imagining the color of your gaze

Y el timbre de tu voz

And the tone of your voice

Muerta de miedo

Scared to death

Le rogaba al cielo que te deje llegar lejos

I begged the sky to let you go far

Mucho más que yo

Much more than me


Yo te esperaba

I was waiting for you

Y el espejo nos miraba mientras ya te amaba

And the mirror watched us while I already loved you
