Faltarán Lyrics in English Andrés Cepeda
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Faltarán by Andrés Cepeda from Spanish to English.
Faltarán los amigos en la casa
Friends will be missing in the house
Faltará la comida en la despensa
Food will be missing in the pantry
Y a veces faltarán la pasión y las palabras
And sometimes passion and words will be missing
Los detalles, las miradas, lo importante, las certezas
The details, the glances, the important things, the certainties
Faltará encontrarle un buen nombre nuestros hijos
We'll lack finding a good name for our children
Faltarán los cuentos con príncipes y hadas
Stories with princes and fairies will be missing
Y yo estaré tranquilo, seguiré tranquilo
And I'll be calm, I'll remain calm
Pues si estás conmigo, ya no hará falta nada
Because if you're with me, nothing will be missing anymore
Faltarán los gritos y vendrá el aburrimiento
The shouts will be missing and boredom will come
Ya no habrá más punta en mis lápices gastados
There won't be any more point on my worn-out pencils
Entre versos viejos poemas repetidos
Among old verses, repeated poems
Con canciones y suspiros, reciclados
With songs and sighs, recycled
Nos haremos viejos, forrados en piel
We'll grow old, wrapped in skin
Llegará la muerte a besar nuestra almohada
Death will come to kiss our pillow
Nos faltará el aliento y yo estaré tranquilo
We'll lack breath and I'll be calm
Pues si estás conmigo ya no hará falta nada
Because if you're with me, nothing will be missing anymore
Nos haremos viejos, forrados en piel
We'll grow old, wrapped in skin
Llegará la muerte a besar nuestra almohada
Death will come to kiss our pillow
Nos faltará el aliento y yo estaré tranquilo
We'll lack breath and I'll be calm
Pues si estás conmigo, ya no hará falta nada
Because if you're with me, nothing will be missing anymore

Did you like this lyrics translation?
faltarán — will be missing / will lack
Faltarán is the future tense of the verb faltar, meaning "to be missing" or "to lack." It's a versatile word that goes beyond simple absence, often implying a need or a void.
In this song, Andrés Cepeda repeatedly uses faltarán to list all the things that might be missing in a long-term relationship – from friends and food to passion and words. However, the core message is that as long as his beloved is with him, nothing truly important will be lacking, making this word central to the song's theme of enduring love.
