Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Te Esperaba by Alejandra Guzmán from Spanish to English.
Yo te esperaba
I was waiting for you
Y veía mi cuerpo crecer
And I saw my body grow
Mientras buscaba
While I was searching
El nombre que te dí
For the name I gave you
En el espejo
In the mirror
Fue la luna llena y de perfil
It was the full moon, in profile
Contigo dentro, jamás fui tan feliz
With you inside, I was never so happy
Moría por sentir
I was dying to feel
Tus piernecitas frágiles
Your fragile little legs
Pateando la obscuridad
Kicking the darkness
De mi vientre maduro
Of my mature womb
Soñar no cuesta no
Dreaming doesn't cost anything
Y con los ojos húmedos
And with teary eyes
Te veía tan alto es más
I saw you so tall, even more
En la cima del mundo
At the top of the world
Yo te esperaba
I was waiting for you
Imaginando a ciegas el color
Blindly imagining the color
De tu mirada y el timbre de tu voz
Of your gaze and the tone of your voice
Le rogaba al cielo que te deje
I begged the sky to let you
Llegar lejos, mucho más que yo
Go far, much further than me
Yo te esperaba
I was waiting for you
Y pintaba sobre las paredes
And I painted on the walls
De tu cuarto, cuentos en color
Of your room, colorful stories
Restaba sin parar, días al calendario
I kept subtracting days from the calendar
Solo tú me podrías curar
Only you could heal me
El modo de escenario
The stage mode
El mundo es como es
The world is as it is
Y no puedo cambiartelo
And I can't change it for you
Pero siempre te seguiré
But I will always follow you
Para darte una mano
To lend you a hand
Yo te esperaba
I was waiting for you
Imaginando a ciegas el color
Blindly imagining the color
De tu mirada y el timbre de tu voz
Of your gaze and the tone of your voice
Hoy que te tengo
Now that I have you
Pido al cielo que me deje verte llegar lejos
I ask the sky to let me see you go far
Mucho más que yo
Much further than me
Yo te esperaba
I was waiting for you
Y en el espejo te miraba mientras
And in the mirror, I looked at you while
Ya te amaba
I already loved you
