I might not recognize you

The adventure was so difficult

From afar you look different

Almost three years without seeing you

And all full of questions

Maybe we are reckless

And I admit I'm afraid

Cause I've had enough

I spent the drink of losing you

But I don't do it again

When you weren't there I kept a thousand memories

A life in black and white

And the embrace of a doubt

When you weren't there, missing you was my job

Do not call, a sacrifice

Don't think about you, crazy

And now that you're here

do not allow again

that never again

Go relive the torture

From when you weren't there

I start to undress in you

almost without speaking

And among so many we guess

And I remember your smell again

After Love

I wonder how we left each other

I want to fall in love

And let the point be a comma

Wake up again like that time in Rome

To return to be the crazy ones that will not be forgotten again

I do not intend to return to that

When you weren't there I kept a thousand memories

A life in black and white

And the embrace of a doubt

When you weren't there, missing you was my job

Do not call, a sacrifice

Don't think about you, crazy

And now that you're here

do not allow again

that never again

Go relive the torture

From when you weren't there

Maybe we are reckless

And I admit I'm afraid

Because I understood that I had enough

I spent the drink of losing you

But I don't do it again

When you weren't there I kept a thousand memories

A life in black and white

And the embrace of a doubt

When you weren't there, missing you was my job

Do not call, a sacrifice

Don't think about you, crazy

And now that you're here

do not allow again

that never again

Go relive the torture

From when you weren't there

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Have you ever reconnected with someone after a long time and felt like you barely recognized them? Vanesa Martín captures that exact feeling in "Cuando No Estabas" [When You Were Not Here]. She sings, "Podría no reconocerte / Fue tan difícil la aventura / De lejos te ves diferente / Casi tres años sin verte" [I might not recognize you / The adventure was so difficult / From afar you look different / Almost three years without seeing you]. It's that mix of excitement and apprehension when facing a past love.

This song is all about the emotional rollercoaster of a reunion. The singer admits, "reconozco tengo miedo / Porque ya tuve suficiente / Pasé el trago de perderte / Pero no lo hago de nuevo" [I admit I'm scared / Because I've had enough / I went through the bitter pill of losing you / But I won't do it again]. She vividly describes the emptiness of their time apart: "Cuando no estabas me quedé con mil recuerdos / Una vida en blanco y negro / Y el abrazo de una duda" [When you weren't here I was left with a thousand memories / A black and white life / And the embrace of a doubt]. But now that they're back, she's ready to rekindle that spark, hoping to "Volver a ser los locos que no vuelvan a olvidarse" [Be the crazy ones again who won't forget each other again]. It's a powerful plea to not let that painful separation happen ever again.
