Lyrics

Translation

Es tanto el tiempo que espero por ti

So much time I've been waiting for you

Cuanto estas tardando en llegar

How long you're taking to arrive

Mas de mil cigarros nervioso fumé

More than a thousand nervously smoked cigarettes

Y no pude mi ansia calmar

And my anxiety I couldn't calm


Las luces que impiden tu auto pasar

The lights that prevent your car from passing

Parecen quererme matar

Seem to want to kill me

Quedo tan triste

I remain so sad

Esperando, cansado

Waiting, tired

Sufriendo, hasta no poder mas

Suffering, until I can't anymore


No sé porqué el tiempo no corre

I don't know why time doesn't pass

Será que lo hiceron parar

Maybe they made it stop

Semáforo cruel que no deja

Cruel traffic light that doesn't let

A mi amada porfin pasar

My beloved finally pass

No puedo seguir esperando

I can't keep waiting

Tanto tiempo sin poderte ver

So much time without being able to see you

Vivir como vivo

Living as I live

Llorando, sufriendo soñando

Crying, suffering, dreaming

Ya no puede ser

It can't be anymore


Yo ya no sé lo que tengo que hacer

I don't know what I have to do anymore

Es tan grande mi aflicción

My affliction is so great

Hasta que un día ya no soportar

Until one day, I can't bear it anymore

Y pierda de una vez la razón

And lose my reason once and for all

Aveces no sé nisiquiera quien soy

Sometimes I don't even know who I am

Mi tormento no tendrá fin

My torment will have no end

Quiero gritar mas no puedo

I want to scream but I can't

Es mas que un castigo

It's more than a punishment

Es tan solo un sufrir

It's just suffering


No sé porqué el tiempo no corre

I don't know why time doesn't pass

Será que lo hiceron parar

Maybe they made it stop

Semáforo cruel que no deja

Cruel traffic light that doesn't let

A mi amada porfin pasar

My beloved finally pass

No puedo seguir esperando

I can't keep waiting

Tanto tiempo sin poderte ver

So much time without being able to see you

Vivir como vivo

Living as I live

Llorando, sufriendo soñando

Crying, suffering, dreaming

Ya no puede ser

It can't be anymore
