Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuando Despiertes by Bambi from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Amaneció como descolorida

It dawned like faded

Encandilada por la luz del sol

Dazzled by the sunlight

Y la vi

And I saw her

Como quien ve toda su vida

Like someone seeing their whole life

Verse 1

Huía como una golondrina

She fled like a swallow

Por lo infinito de la habitación

Through the infinity of the room

Sus palabras fueron más sal en la herida

Her words were more salt in the wound

Chorus 1

El cielo se abrió por completo

The sky opened completely

Como si llegara el juicio final

As if the final judgment had come

Mi corazón de elefante

My elephant heart

Hoy se puso viejo de tanto esperar

Today grew old from waiting so much

Verse 2

Cuando intentamos detener el tiempo

When we tried to stop time

Cuando entendimos que era por los dos

When we understood it was for both of us

Cuando vos fumabas en mis recuerdos

When you smoked in my memories

Y cuando le pasen factura las hojas al viento

And when the leaves hold you accountable to the wind

Cuando me arrastre el lamento

When the lament drags me

Cuando me sienta un cuervo negro

When I feel like a black crow

Chorus 2

El cielo se abrió por completo

The sky opened completely

Como si llegara el día final

As if the final day had come

Mi corazón delirante

My delirious heart

Se apaga y no late de tanto esperarte

Fades and doesn't beat from waiting for you so much

Y el cielo se abrió por completo

And the sky opened completely

Como si llegara el juicio final

As if the final judgment had come

Mi corazón de elefante

My elephant heart

Hoy se puso viejo de tanto esperar

Today grew old from waiting so much
