Verse 1
I asked for you
With my strength to the universe
I wrote you a couple of verses
That I sent flying to the sky
I asked for you
I dreamed of you
And I loved you without knowing you
My hugs were calling you
To a side of the bed
Or: To the edge of my bed
I dreamed of you
I sensed
Or: I had a feeling
Every day your gaze
Your arrival, I surrendered
Before the brightness of your soul
Chorus 1
Yes, I'm the one who always waited for you
Or: Yes, I'm the one who has always been waiting for you
I can admit
That although it was madness I didn't doubt
Yes, yes, yes, in my heart I was saving your space
Or: Yes, yes, yes, I kept your space in my heart
And now that you're here
I see love turned into you
Or: I see love transformed into you
Verse 2
I found you
At the end of the staircase
In the war of my life
You had been my flag
I found you
I sensed
Or: I felt
Every day your gaze
Your arrival, I surrendered
Or: Your arrival, I gave up
Before the brightness of your soul
Chorus 2
Yes, I'm the one who always waited for you
I can admit
That although it was madness I didn't doubt
Yes, yes, yes, in my heart I was saving your space
And now that you're here
And now that you're here
I see love turned into you
Or: I see love become you

SONG MEANING

Te Esperaba is a romantic ballad where Carlos Rivera tells the story of loving someone before even meeting them. Through poetic images – writing verses to the sky, calling out with empty hugs, saving an empty spot on the bed – the singer confesses that he asked the universe for this person and carried their silhouette in his dreams. Every day he could almost feel their eyes and their soul shining from afar, so when the long-awaited arrival finally happens, he recognizes them instantly as the love he always pictured.

The song celebrates faith in destiny. Rivera admits that some might call it madness, yet he never doubted the fact that his heart was keeping a special space ready. Meeting the loved one feels like raising a long-lost flag at the end of a personal battle, turning all that hope into living, breathing love. "Te Esperaba" gently reminds us that believing in love can guide us through life’s wars until the moment when imagination and reality happily collide.
