Te esperaba

Como busca el navegante

As the navigator seeks

El puerto que está distante

The distant port

Te buscaba, te soñaba, te esperaba

I was looking for you, dreaming of you, waiting for you

Como busca el peregrino

As the pilgrim searches

Una sombra en su camino

For a shadow on his path

Te buscaba, te soñaba, te esperaba

I was looking for you, dreaming of you, waiting for you

Como la flor al rocío

Like the flower to the dew

Y el Sol el río

And the Sun to the river

Te necesitaba

I needed you

Te busqué amor mío

I searched for you, my love

Ya lo adivinaba que tendría que llegar

I already guessed that you would have to come

Para el llanto el olvido

For tears, forgetfulness

Su sueño al soñador

For a dream, the dreamer

Para el ave su nido

For the bird, its nest

Y para mi tu amor

And for me, your love

Como espera el mar al río

As the sea awaits the river

Así tu cuerpo al mío

So does your body to mine

Te buscaba, te soñaba, lo deseaba

I was looking for you, dreaming of you, desiring it

Como la flor al rocío

Like the flower to the dew

Y el Sol el río

And the Sun to the river

Te necesitaba
