Si tú no estás [English translation]

And I have told myself time and time again

I know that things have to change

Because I don’t know if this world

Is important to you, or if it’s all the same

And I always try to get closer

To hold back and stay calm

Because I know that we’re just human

And nobody is completely right

So I try to get to the bottom of it all

Just in case

To wear silk gloves to avoid scratching

Your heart

To hold my tongue when sometimes I have to

Explode

But this silence would be even worse, If you’re not here

If you’re not here, my life will disappear

It will disappear after you

If you’re not here my life

I don’t know what I would do, If you’re not here

And I have told myself time and time again

I know that things have to change

And in the meantime I break my head

Thinking whether to touch you or not

And then you tell me that it’s not important

There’re other things you value more

But, I’m sorry that I’m that simple

And my instincts are very logical

So I wait for that green light

To cross the chasm

And show you I’m not made of stone

No, it’s not true.

That everything about us concerns me

You know that well.

And that without you it would be impossible

To go on

If you’re not here, my life will disappear

It will disappear after you

If you’re not here my life

I don’t know what I would do, If you’re not here

A now I won’t, I won’t lie

I can’t go on hiding

Behind the same shield,

In my throat the same knot.

And now it can’t, it can’t be

Possible that everything ends

And I’m not sure whether to jump this wall, if you’re not here

If you’re not here, my life will disappear

It will disappear after you

If you’re not here my life

I don’t know what I would do, If you’re not here
