Tengo un corazón

I have a heart

Que ha aprendido lo que quiere sin ningún temor

That’s learned what it wants with no fear

Que se desvela en madrugada

That stays up at dawn

Si aunque, caiga, caiga sigue

Even if it falls, falls, it keeps on

Adelante mientras tenga su voz

Moving on as long as it has your voice

Tengo un corazón

I have a heart

Que es tan fiel a sus latidos

That's as faithful as its beats

Tengo una razón

I have a reason

Que respeto y que me arrastra

That I respect and that pulls me along

Para siempre ser el mismo

To always stay the same

Y por eso no me rindo, hoy no

And that's why I don't give up, not today

Tengo una emoción sin frenos

I've got a runaway emotion

Que habla a solas con el viento

That talks alone with the wind

Tengo un corazón

I have a heart

Que grita vida, vida, vida por ti

That shouts life, life, life for you

Y puede ser, que se derrumbe el universo

And maybe the universe will crumble

Y puede ser, que nos destroce este silencio

And maybe this silence will wreck us

No temas junto a mí, yo siempre estaré ahí

Don't be scared with me, I'll always be there

Buscando una salida para no caer

Searching for a way out so we don't fall

Y puede ser que hoy se acabe el mundo

And maybe the world ends today

Y puede ser que no encontremos nada

And maybe we won't find a thing

Y que nos quede una sonrisa

And all that’s left is a smile

Un destello en las cenizas

A spark in the ashes

Yo seguiré apostando por ti, por ti

I'll keep betting on you, on you

Tengo una canción

I've got a song

Y un poema en la maleta que habla de los dos

And a poem in the suitcase that speaks of us two

Un te quiero y una vida

An "I love you" and a life

Que no entiende de mentiras

That doesn't understand lies

Que te busca y aún respira tu voz

That looks for you and still breathes your voice

Tengo una emoción sin frenos

I've got a runaway emotion

Que habla a solas con el viento

That talks alone with the wind

Tengo un corazón que grita

I've got a heart that yells

Vida, vida, vida por ti

Life, life, life for you

Y puede ser, que se derrumbe el universo

And maybe the universe will crumble

Y puede ser, que nos destroce este silencio

And maybe this silence will wreck us

No temas junto a mí, yo siempre estaré ahí

Don't be scared with me, I'll always be there

Buscando una salida para no caer

Searching for a way out so we don't fall

Y puede ser que hoy se acabe el mundo

And maybe the world ends today

Y puede ser que no encontremos nada

And maybe we won't find a thing

Y que nos quede una sonrisa

And all that’s left is a smile

Un destello en las cenizas

A spark in the ashes

Yo seguiré apostando por ti, por ti

I'll keep betting on you, on you

Y puede ser, que se derrumbe el universo

And maybe the universe will crumble

Y puede ser, que nos destroce este silencio

And maybe this silence will wreck us

Y puede ser

and maybe

Yo seguiré apostando por ti, por ti, por ti

I'll keep betting on you, on you, on you

Did you like this lyrics translation?

apostando — betting / gambling

Apostando comes from the verb apostar, which means 'to bet' or 'to gamble'. While it literally refers to placing a wager, it's often used metaphorically in Spanish to mean 'to commit to' or 'to believe strongly in' something or someone.

In this song, Antonio José sings, "Yo seguiré apostando por ti" (I will keep betting on you). He's not talking about a literal bet, but rather expressing his unwavering commitment and faith in his loved one, even if the world falls apart. This metaphorical use makes the word particularly evocative and romantic.

"Tengo un corazón" [I have a heart] opens the song and returns as its anchor through every verse. Antonio José spends the first verse explaining why that heart is worth trusting: "Que ha aprendido lo que quiere sin ningún temor" [That’s learned what it wants with no fear], "Que se desvela en madrugada" [That stays up at dawn], "Si aunque, caiga, caiga sigue" [Even if it falls, falls, it keeps on]. It's a heart that's already been knocked down and kept going anyway.

The chorus is where the risk gets named directly. "Y puede ser, que se derrumbe el universo" [And maybe the universe will crumble], "Y puede ser, que nos destroce este silencio" [And maybe this silence will wreck us] — he isn't pretending it's safe. What he offers instead is presence: "No temas junto a mí, yo siempre estaré ahí" [Don't be scared with me, I'll always be there]. The song closes on that same promise pushed to its limit, repeated three times in the final line: "Yo seguiré apostando por ti, por ti, por ti" [I'll keep betting on you, on you, on you].
