Dónde Vas? Lyrics English Translation by Alejandro Astola
I picture myself with you,
Counting your gray hairs,
Taking care of the kids,
The table overflowing,
Filled with your people,
Close to mine.
Even if you just look at me in silence,
I open my heart to you,
Because I hold the key,
And inside is love.
I don’t want you to leave,
But I don’t want you to stay either
If you still carry that dagger,
Unless we love each other again
Like before—unless you dance once more
To my guitar with joy.
But if you’re going to leave…
Then go already,
I swear this time,
I’ll close my eyes
So I won’t know where
Your footsteps go, or end up begging your feet
To return.
With all the strength I can gather,
I’ll block you
So I can fight off
The urge to call you.
And when you see silence,
You’ll be the one crying
To the voicemail…
Where are you going?
Stay,
I’m for you,
Don’t you see?
How hard it is sometimes,
When kisses drift away
And suddenly it feels
Like we don’t love each other anymore,
Hope slips away,
And we kill off the “I love you’s.”
Even if you just look at me in silence,
I open my heart to you,
Because I hold the key,
And inside is love.
I don’t want you to leave,
But I don’t want you to stay either
If you still carry that dagger,
Unless we love each other again
Like before—unless you dance once more
To my guitar with joy.
But if you’re going to leave…
Then go already,
I swear this time,
I’ll close my eyes
So I won’t know where
Your footsteps go, or end up begging your feet
To return.
With all the strength I can gather,
I’ll block you
So I can fight off
The urge to call you.
And when you see silence,
You’ll be the one crying
To the voicemail…
Where are you going?
Stay,
I’m for you,
Don’t you see?
