Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ojalá by Nio Garcia from Spanish to English.
Dicen que lo que toca el alma no se olvida
They say that what touches the soul isn't forgotten
Y que más tarde el café se enfría
And that later the coffee gets cold
Que el tiempo cura todas las heridas
That time heals every wound
Y que el peor error
And that the worst mistake
Es darle amor a quien no sabe de eso
Is giving love to somebody who knows nothing about it
Yo te entregue mi vida y tú no sabías qué hacer
I gave you my life and you didn't know what to do
Todos los días me arrepiento
Every day I regret it
Chorus 1
Quisiera que estuvieras lejos y no saber de ti
I wish that you were far away and to not hear from you
Volver a encontrarme a mí
To find myself again
Recuperar esa vida que por ti perdí
To recover that life that I lost because of you
Lo del amor yo lo veo complejo después de ti
As for love, I see it as complicated after you
Hasta un perro me volví
I even turned into a dog
Nadie en el mundo merece en lo que me convertí
Nobody in the world deserves what I turned into
Verse 1
Ojalá sientas lo que yo estoy sintiendo
I hope that you feel what I'm feeling
Por tu culpa me estoy perdiendo
Because of you I'm losing myself
En un vacío sigo cayendo
I keep falling into a void
¿Qué estoy pagando? No lo entiendo
What am I paying for? I don't get it
La soledad no me cura
Loneliness doesn't heal me
Escucho tu nombre y es borrachera segura
I hear your name and getting wasted is guaranteed
Me sorprende estar así a estas altura'
It surprises me to be like this at this stage
Ya lo intenté con muchas, pero solo es una tortura
I already tried it with many, but it's just torture
Que otro te toque, que te bese, que te vea por la calle
That someone else touches you, kisses you, sees you on the street
Que sepa lo que te gusta, cada detalle
That he knows what you like, every detail
Y aunque no sea problema mío
And even though it's not my problem
Yo fui el que quedé con el corazón partido
I was the one who ended up with a broken heart
Chorus 2
Quisiera que estuvieras lejos y no pensar en ti
I wish that you were far away and I wouldn't think of you
Volver a encontrarme a mí
To find myself again
Recuperar esa vida que por ti perdí
To recover that life that I lost because of you
Lo del amor yo lo veo complejo después de ti
As for love, I see it as complicated after you
Hasta un perro me volví
I even turned into a dog
Nadie en el mundo merece en lo que me convertí
Nobody in the world deserves what I turned into
Verse 2
¿A quién le miento? Nada sigue bien, este amor no se supera
Who am I lying to? Nothing's right, this love can't be gotten over
Que un clavo saca el otro, bebé, esa es vieja
That one nail drives out another, babe, that's old
No quiero llamarte pero en la peda suena 'SE ME olvidas
I don't want to call you but when I'm drunk 'SE ME olvidas' plays
Ya no sé de ella ni por MySpace
I don't know about her anymore, not even through MySpace
Te fuiste y te llevaste el balance
You left and took the balance with you
No te olvidé, pero si no te llamo, es un avance
I didn't forget you, but if I don't call you, it's progress
Olvídame, sigue con tu vida, enamórate, las alas no te cortaré
Forget me, go on with your life, fall in love, I won't cut your wings
Angelito, vuela, que allá arriba el karma te espera
Little angel, fly, because up there karma's waiting for you
Nadie como yo, que te coma y te bese, bebé, no hay manera
Nobody like me to eat you up and kiss you, babe, there's no way
Angelito, vuela, que allá arriba el karma te espera
Little angel, fly, because up there karma's waiting for you
Cuando vayas cayendo recuerda que no seré yo quién te espera
When you start falling remember that I won't be the one waiting for you
Outro
Uh-uh-uh, yeah
Uh-uh-uh, yeah
Tu dealer, baby
Your dealer, babe
Colombia y Puerto Rico, mami
Colombia and Puerto Rico, babe
