Toda las noches

Al final de la jornada
At the end of the day
Que te busco
I'm looking for you
Como un loco
Like a madman
Y que no te puedo
And I can't tell you
Luego en mi cuarto
Then in my room
Contemplando
Contemplating
Y esperando tu llamada
And waiting for your call
Comienzo a desesperar
I begin to despair
Y me llamaste
And you called me
Y yo pensaba
And I thought.
Que ya nada
That nothing anymore
No podía dormirme
I couldn't fall asleep
Por estar pensando en ti
For thinking of you
No me hagas esto
Don't do this to me
Sola está la madrugada
Alone is the early morning
Y al calor
And to the heat
De tus recuerdos
From your memories
No me puedo resistir
I can't resist
Y hablo contigo
And I talk to you
Hasta la alborada
Until dawn
Y me imagino
And I imagine
Que eres mi almohada
That you are my pillow
Y sigo hablando
And I keep talking
Y no pasa el tiempo
And time does not pass
Y al fin se acaban
And at last they end
Mis sufrimientos

Y no me importa
And I don't care.

De esta llamada

Ya mis amigos
Already my friends
Me critican
They criticize me
Que estoy viejo

Que ya no salgo con ellos
That I no longer date them
Que no he vuelto
That I haven't come back
Que se lamentan
Who lament
De mi pobre
From my poor man
Circunstancia

De larga distancia
Long distance
Siempre suele terminar
It always ends
Y me aconsejan
And they advise me
Que me olvide
