Que Vuelvas [English translation]

And what am I going to do with my selective cluelessness

And with my frustrated dream of learning to cook?

And what am I going to do with Sundays and days off?

No plan seems appropriate when I try not to think

Tell me where you go

Now that I'm not there

Tell me where should I go

Now that you are not here

What made-up excuse should I give the whole world

If they see me lying on the ground

And not wanting to fly anymore?

How can I hide this pair of broken wings

And the soil of my boots which are tired

Of walking?

Tell me where you go

Now that I'm not there

Tell me where should I go

Now that you are not here

I want you to come back

Because my lips, which you haven't kissed

For a while, are claiming for you

I want you to return

My hands hurt, they hurt because

They haven't touched you for a long time

And what will I do if my chin reaches the floor?

And even if I try my smile doesn't come out natural

They have already seen me with a lost gaze

With some lost pounds

And with a few more tears

Tell me where you go

Now that I'm not there

Tell me where should I go

Now that you are not here

I want you to come back

Because my lips, which you haven't kissed

For a while, are claiming for you

I want you to return

My hands hurt because

They haven't touched you for a long time

I want you to come back

Because my lips, which you haven't kissed

For a while, are claiming for you

I want you to return

If you knew you were meant for me

And if you always wanted to be here

Then I still can't understand how, when, where

nor why I lost you, I don't know how to live like this
