Verse 1

Who will your arms deceive now?

Or: Who are your arms going to deceive now?

Who will your lips lie to now?

Or: Who are your lips going to lie to now?

Who will you tell I love you now?

Or: Who are you going to tell I love you now?

And then in silence

You'll give him your body

You'll stop time on the pillow

A thousand hours will pass in your gaze

There will only be life loving you

Now who?

And who will write you poems and letters?

And who will tell you their fears and faults?

Who will you let fall asleep on your back?

And then in silence

You'll tell him I love you

You'll stop his breath on your face

He'll lose his way in your gaze

And he'll forget life loving you

Now who?!

Chorus 1

Now who if not me?

I look at myself and cry in the mirror and feel stupid, illogical

And then I imagine you all giving the scent of your skin

Your kisses, your eternal smile and even the soul in a kiss

In a kiss goes the soul

And in my soul is the kiss that could be

Now who if not me?

I look at myself and cry in the mirror and feel stupid, illogical

And then I imagine you all giving the scent of your skin

Your kisses, your eternal smile and even the soul in a kiss

In a kiss goes the soul

And in my soul is the kiss that could be

Now who?

Verse 2

Who will you leave your scent in bed?

Who will have the memory tomorrow?

Who will pass the hours calmly?

And then in silence

He'll desire your body

Time will stop on your face

Will pass a thousand hours at the window

He'll lose his voice calling you

Lit: He'll 'finish' his voice calling you

Now who? Now who?

Chorus 2

Now who if not me?

I look at myself and cry in the mirror and feel stupid, illogical

And then I imagine you all giving the scent of your skin

Your kisses, your eternal smile and even the soul in a kiss

In a kiss goes the soul

And in my soul is the kiss that could be

Bridge 1

Now who? I cry and I feel stupid

Who'll be the one who'll kiss you and give you a thousand caresses?

Now who? I cry and I feel stupid

My intention was only to love you

Who will have the pleasure of loving you?

Now who? I cry and I feel stupid

Bridge 2

Tell me who'll write you poems and letters and tell their fears and faults

Now who? I cry and I feel stupid

I suffer, I miss you, oh, pretty girl, for you I cry, babe

Oh I cry, babe

I'm alone babe

I'm dying babe

Chorus 3

Now who if not me?

I look at myself and cry in the mirror and feel stupid, illogical

And then I imagine you all giving the scent of your skin

Your kisses, your eternal smile and even the soul in a kiss

In a kiss goes the soul

And in my soul is the kiss that could be

añoro — I yearn for

Añoro is a powerful verb that translates to 'I yearn for' or 'I long for'. It expresses a deep, nostalgic feeling of missing someone or something, making it much more poetic than the more common verb "extrañar" (to miss).

In this heart-wrenching salsa anthem, Marc Anthony cries out, "Sufro, te añoro... por ti yo lloro" (I suffer, I yearn for you... for you I cry). This single word perfectly captures the intense pain and longing he feels for his lost love, making it the emotional core of the song.

Beneath the vibrant horns and congas, Ahora Quién is a salsa plea filled with raw heartbreak. Marc Anthony’s narrator has just lost the love of his life, and every spinning verse is a desperate question: Who will take my place now? He imagines her arms, lips, and perfume being given to someone new while he stands in front of the mirror, feeling ‘estúpido, ilógico.’ The music keeps our feet moving, yet the words paint a picture of a man stuck in time, replaying memories and fearing the moment another voice whispers te amo in her ear.

The repeated chorus turns the dance floor into a confessional. Each ¿Ahora quién? underlines the ache of being replaced and the terror that shared poems, secrets, and slow-motion mornings will belong to someone else. The song’s power lies in that contrast: lively salsa energy wrapped around a universal breakup question that makes us all wonder who will inherit the kisses, the laughter, and the dreams we once called ours.
