Translation of the song lyrics Ayer - Juan Luis Guerra 4.40, Juan Luis Guerra

Ayer (original)

Ayer
Te estuve buscando
Y no te pude ver, no, no, no…
Te amé de oído por primera vez
Me detuve en el silencio
Exiliado de tus besos
Ayer
Mi sombra no se encendió
De tu querer, no, no, no…
No hubo concierto del cariño aquel
Y no pude atar mi cuerpo
A la geografía de tu piel
¡No no no!!!
Ayer
Mis lágrimas se pasearon
Tras de ti
Como corriente que fluye del mar
Me enredé bajo la luna
Reflejando su cintura
Ayer
Me acompañaba un café romántico, oh, no, no, no…
Cerré la noche y me entregué a soñar
Y rodé sobre tus piernas
Cuesta abajo hasta la tregua
Mujer
Vísteme de infinito el corazón
Húndete lentamente, amor
Seré tuyo en un momento mágico
Mánchame de rojo con tus labios
Jubílame el temor de amarte
Y de paso lléname el vacío que hay de ti
Te estuve buscando y no te pude ver, no, no, no…
Detalles que no logro comprender
Si tú anidas en mis sueños, mamá
Y yo vivo para ti, mujer
¡Oh oye… Pero que mira, que yo…
Te fui buscando ayer
Y no te pude ver
En la vida hay amores
Que nunca pueden separarse
Así somos tú y yo, mujer, ¡eh!
Te fui buscando ayer
Y no te pude ver
Toma de mí todo
Bébetelo a sorbos, mi bien, eh…
Te fui buscando ayer
Y no te pude ver
Mi dialecto es hablarte
Y besarte hasta la tregua, mujer
Te fui buscando ayer
(pero te digo que yo…)
Y no te pude ver
Te fui buscando ayer
Y no te pude ver
Voy a amarte de oído
A escucharte con ojos
Cambiar mis sentidos
Y hacerlo a tu antojo, yo
Te fui buscando ayer
(mujer)
Y no te pude ver
Cura de mis labios tu risa
Me abres hasta el cielo y llovizna, tú ves
Te fui buscando ayer
(¡eh!)
Y no te pude ver
Quiero oxigenar mi alma
Para respirar nostalgias de ti
Te fui buscando ayer
Y no te pude ver
Oye niñita, no me mortifiques
No me desesperes
Chévere, chévere…
Suéltame ese amor, mamita
Y aunque pasen ya los años
Mi cariño irá creciendo diariamente
Y no te pude ver
Y no pude atar tu cuerpo entre la gente
Y no te …
Todos los besos que hay de tu boca
Hacia mi boca y viceversa
Y no te pude ver
Este amor me fiscaliza con su ciencia
Y no te pude ver
Perto te digo que yo te fui buscando ayer
Y no te pude ver

Ayer (translation)

Yesterday
I was looking for you
And I couldn't see you, no, no, no...
I loved you by ear for the first time
I stood in silence
exiled from your kisses
Yesterday
My shadow didn't turn on
Of your will, no, no, no...
there was no concert of love that
And I couldn't tie my body
To the geography of your skin
No no no!!!
Yesterday
my tears wandered
Behind you
Like a stream flowing from the sea
I got tangled up under the moon
reflecting your waist
Yesterday
I was accompanied by a romantic coffee, oh, no, no, no...
I closed the night and gave myself to dream
And I rolled on your legs
Downhill to the truce
Women
Dress my heart with infinity
Sink in slowly, love
I'll be yours in a magical moment
Stain me red with your lips
Retire me from the fear of loving you
And by the way fill me the emptiness that there is of you
I was looking for you and I couldn't see you, no, no, no...
Details I can't understand
If you nest in my dreams, mom
And I live for you, woman
Oh hey... But look, I...
I went looking for you yesterday
And I couldn't see you
In life there are loves
That they can never part
That's how you and I are, woman, hey!
I went looking for you yesterday
And I couldn't see you
take everything from me
Sip it, my good, eh…
I went looking for you yesterday
And I couldn't see you
My dialect is to speak to you
And kiss you until the truce, woman
I went looking for you yesterday
(but I tell you that I…)
And I couldn't see you
I went looking for you yesterday
And I couldn't see you
I'm going to love you by ear
to listen to you with eyes
change my senses
And do it your way, I
I went looking for you yesterday
(women)
And I couldn't see you
Heal your laughter from my lips
You open me up to the sky and drizzle, you see
I went looking for you yesterday
(Hey!)
And I couldn't see you
I want to oxygenate my soul
To breathe longing for you
I went looking for you yesterday
And I couldn't see you
Hey little girl, don't bother me
don't despair me
Cool, cool...
Let go of that love, mommy
And although the years have passed
My love will grow daily
And I couldn't see you
And I couldn't tie your body between the people
And don't you...
All the kisses that are from your mouth
To my mouth and vice versa
And I couldn't see you
This love controls me with its science
And I couldn't see you
Perto I tell you that I was looking for you yesterday
And I couldn't see you
