A great lyric is like a great book...
I don't actually speak Spanish, so maybe in its native tongue this isn't quite so impressive. The translation certainly isn't earth moving. But, I just love this song and it reads so nicely! Translation is in parenthesis.
Si tu no estas aqui (If you are not here)
Rosana Arbelo, Artist & Writer
No quiero estar sin ti,
si tu no estas aqui me sobra el aire.
No quiero estar asi,
si tu no estas la gente se hace nadie.
(I don’t want to be without you
If you are not here, air is left over
I don’t want to be like this
If you are not here, people are turning themselves into nobody.)
Si tu no estas aqui no se,
que diablos hago amandote.
Si tu no estas aqui sabras,
que Dios no va a entender por que te vas.
(If you are not here, i don’t know
What the hell am i doing loving you.
If you are not here, you will know
That God won’t understand why are you leaving.)
No quiero estar sin ti,
si tu no estas aqui me falta el sueño.
No quiero andar asi,
Latiendo un corazon de amor sin dueño.
(I don’t want to be without you
If you are not here, i cannot sleep
I don’t want to be like that,
A heart beating of love without a master.)
Si tu no estas aqui no se,
que diablos hago amandote.
Si tu no estas aqui sabras,
que Dios no va a entender por que te vas
(If you are not here, i don’t know
What the hell am i doing loving you.
If you are not here, you will know
That God won’t understand why are you leaving.)
Derramare mis sueños si algun dia no te tengo,
lo mas grande se hara lo mas pequeño.
Paseare en un cielo sin estrellas esta vez,
tratando de entender quien hizo
un infierno el paraiso.
(I will waste all my dreams if i won’t have you one day
Big will turn into small
I will walk on a sky without stars, this time
Trying to understand who made
Hell out of the paradise.)
No te vayas nunca porque
no puedo estar sin ti.
Si tu no estas aqui me quema el aire.
Si tu no estas aqui sabras,
que Dios no va a entender por que te vas.
(Don’t ever go away, because
I cannot be without you
If you are not here, the air is burning me
If you are not here, you will know
That God won’t understand why are you leaving.)
Si tu no estas aqui!)
(If you are not here!)
