Verse 1
Last night I dreamed of you
I dreamed that you were by my side like before
It was a love more than friends
I wanted to undress you
I woke up hallucinating
Wanting to continue dreaming
Lit: With desires to keep dreaming
I don't know why I continue feeling like this
I swear that I continue missing you
Or: I swear that I still miss you
And I don't know why, if I know that you have someone else
I continue staying awake, thinking about us
'Desvelar' in this context means not being to sleep or to keep someone awake: 'I continue being unable to sleep, thinking about us'
And although I haven't seen you yet
Or: 'And although I haven't seen you', as is not clear whether this line should break at 'visto' (Y aunque no te he visto)
I have memories in my history
Or: I already have memories in my history. It is not clear whether the line starts with 'Ya' (Ya tengo recuerdos en mi historial) but it makes more sense with it.
And although everything had to end
I haven't found how to overcome
I haven't found how to get over (our break up)
In the dream I felt that I had your arms
The warmth of your skin in my hands
I know that everything was a failure
But to love you I know that it wasn't in vain
Nothing was perfect and I understand
But everything I continue feeling
I'm not the same
Since I don't have you
Or: Ever since I don't have you
Chorus 1
Yesterday I dreamed about you
Don't ask me why
I stumbled into you
Or: I bumped into you
It hurt when I woke up
Yesterday I dreamed about you
Don't ask me why
I stumbled into you
Or: I bumped into you
And it hurt when I woke up
Verse 2
Since you left
Or: Ever since you left
To sleep, I need pills
I continue waiting for you
Sitting in the same chair
Now it's complicated
But before you were so simple
I get drunk
This line gives the idea that he frequently gets drunk. Perhaps: 'I spent my time getting drunk'
But my mind doesn't forget you
And I know
That everything is gone
I want to look for you
To have what I had before
To say again that you are mine
But I continue dreaming of you

Did you like this lyrics translation?
desvelándome — keeping myself awake
Desvelándome comes from the reflexive verb desvelarse, which means "to stay awake all night" or "to lose sleep". It's a very evocative word that goes beyond simply being awake.
In the song, Jay Wheeler sings, "Sigo desvelándome, pensando en nosotros" (I'm still staying up all night, thinking about us). He uses this word to express the pain of sleepless nights spent obsessing over a lost love, perfectly capturing the feeling of lovesick insomnia.
Puerto Rican artist Jay Wheeler is not holding back in this song. It's all about that feeling when you just can't get over someone, even when you know you should. He kicks it off by saying, "Anoche soñé contigo" [Last night I dreamed of you], and the dream was so real he woke up wanting to go right back to sleep. The problem is, he knows she's moved on: "sé que tienes a otro" [I know you have someone else]. Still, he can't stop thinking about their past and admits he hasn't found a way to move on.
He gets really specific about how much this breakup has affected him. He's not just sad; he says that since she left, "Para dormir, necesito pastillas" [To sleep, I need pills] and "Me paso borracho / Pero mi mente no te olvida" [I spend my time drunk / But my mind doesn't forget you]. It's a loop of missing her, dreaming of her, and then waking up to the painful reality. The song's chorus perfectly sums it up: "Ayer te soñé... Dolió cuando desperté" [Yesterday I dreamed of you... It hurt when I woke up].
