| Son tantos días que no duermo y pienso en ti | So many days have wended sleepless by—my mind a lantern, burning on your name, |
| Preso en mi casa y el silencio por amigo | Imprisoned in these silent chambers, where hush itself is my one faithful guest, |
| Mientras el viento va llamando en el cristal | While restless wind, with icy fingertips, taps out its longing on the window’s glass, |
| Te espero aquí vuelve conmigo | I wait for you—return, reclaim my world. |
| En nuestra historia hay algo que no marcha bien | Our story’s page is marred by subtle blight, |
| No es la primera discusión de nuestra vida | Not the first discord, nor the last to mar our years, |
| Pero aquí espero a que regrese nuestro tren | Yet here I linger, yearning for the train that bears us home, |
| Ven pronto ven nube perdida | Come soon—come, wandering cloud, estranged from sky. |
| Donde estarás donde estarás cariño mío | Where are you now, where do you drift, my heart’s desire? |
| Donde estarás verano ardiente invierno frío | Where do you wander—when summer scalds, when winter bites? |
| Aunque los días sean tristes y aburridos | Though every day is dulled by languor and by sorrow, |
| No se que hacer si no estás tú | I am unmoored—without you, lost for purpose. |
| Donde estarás donde estarás cariño mío | Where are you now, where do you drift, my heart’s desire? |
| Donde estarás noche tras noche día a día | Where are you, night unraveling night, day dismantling day? |
| Como la nieve espera al sol de primavera | Like snow that waits, unmelting, for the sun of spring to waken it, |
| Mi amor te espera | My love endures, enduring all for you. |
| Y mientras tanto donde estás porque te escondes | And still—where do you hide, elusive as a shadow? |
| Aquí te espero con el sol en la ventana | Here do I wait, sunlight trembling on the sill, |
| Donde se duermen tus caricias dime donde | Tell me—where do your caresses slumber now? |
| Tu manantial por donde mana | Your fountainhead—where does its silver streaming go? |
| Donde estarás donde estarás cariño mío | Where are you now, where do you drift, my heart’s desire? |
| Donde estarás verano ardiente invierno frío | Where do you wander—when summer scalds, when winter bites? |
| Aunque los días sean tristes y aburridos | Though every day is dulled by languor and by sorrow, |
| No se que hacer si no estás tú | I am unmoored—without you, lost for purpose. |
| Donde estarás donde estarás cariño mío | Where are you now, where do you drift, my heart’s desire? |
| Donde estarás noche tras noche día a día | Where are you, night unraveling night, day dismantling day? |
| Como la nieve espera al sol de primavera | Like snow that waits, unmelting, for the sun of spring to waken it, |
| Mi amor te espera | My love endures, enduring all for you. |
| Y te prometo que esta vez no habrá mujer | And I give my word: no woman shall erase |
| Para borrar tus propias huellas en mi almohada | The trace of you—your vestige on my pillow’s field. |
| Busco la luna y lo la veo aparecer | I seek the moon, and find no argent rise, |
| Por que sin ti la luna es nada | For without you, the moon herself is void. |
