Lyrics
Si no estoy aqui,
Es porque me fui.
Tuve que correr.
Tuve algo que hacer.
Un llamado desde el mar
Me obliga a navigar.
Los vientos que me mandan
Me llevan a conocer y a olvidar.
Si no estoy aqui,
Es porque te vi.
No quise escuchar
Todo tu hablar
de tus problemas de amor.
Dale, por favor!
Tus palabras inocentes,
me traen nada mas que dolor.
If I'm not here,
Please know that I love you.
Goodbye my dear,
Sure as the stars above you.
And the next time you try
To move another pawn,
I want you to know why I'm gone.
Si no estoy aqui,
Es porque me fui
A la mierda, mi amor
Lleno de rencor.
Y en vez de amargarme
Prefiero navigar.
Y ojala los tiempos
Me ensenyan otra vez como amar.
If I'm not here,
Please know that I love you.
Goodbye my dear,
Sure as the stars above you.
And the next time you try
To move another pawn,
I want you to know why I'm gone.
