Faltarán Lyrics in English by Andrés Cepeda

Faltarán is the future tense of the verb faltar, meaning "to be missing" or "to lack." It's a versatile word that goes beyond simple absence, often implying a need or a void.

In this song, Andrés Cepeda repeatedly uses faltarán to list all the things that might be missing in a long-term relationship – from friends and food to passion and words. However, the core message is that as long as his beloved is with him, nothing truly important will be lacking, making this word central to the song's theme of enduring love.

Andrés Cepeda, a Colombian artist, brings us "Faltarán," a beautiful song that explores what truly matters in life. He starts by listing all the things that might be missing: "Faltarán los amigos en la casa" (Friends will be missing from the house), "Faltará la comida en la despensa" (Food will be missing from the pantry), and even passion and words. He mentions the absence of important things, certainties, and even a good name for their children or fairy tales.

But here's the twist: despite all these potential absences, he finds peace. He sings, "Y yo estaré tranquilo, seguiré tranquilo Pues si estás conmigo, ya no hará falta nada" (And I will be calm, I will remain calm, because if you are with me, nothing will be missing). This sentiment carries through to old age and even death, as he imagines them growing old, running out of breath, and facing the end, yet still finding comfort in the presence of his loved one. It's a sweet reminder that with the right person by your side, you have everything you need.
