Verse 1
When I'm with you
I don't know what is more beautiful
If the color of the sky or that of your hair
I don't know of sadness
Everything is joy
I only know that you are my life
When I'm with you
I don't know if in the breeze
There is a better sound than your joyful laughter
If you put your hands near mine
I doubt that cold dawns exist
Chorus 1
When I'm with you
Failures don't exist
Everything I want, I find in your arms
When I'm with you
I'm filled with pride
And I want you to shout that I'm all yours
When I'm with you
I don't know what is more tender
Your fragile figure or a bird that hibernates
When I'm with you
I trade glory
For the enormous joy of being in your story
Chorus 2
When I'm with you
Failures don't exist
Everything I want, I find in your arms
When I'm with you
I'm filled with pride
And I want you to shout that I'm all yours
When I'm with you
I don't know what is more tender
Your fragile figure or a bird that hibernates
When I'm with you
I trade glory
For the enormous joy of being in your story

SONG MEANING

Get ready to swirl across the dance floor with the legendary Cuban powerhouse Celia Cruz! In “Cuando Estoy Contigo,” the Queen of Salsa pours a cascade of joyful metaphors over a vibrant rhythm, celebrating the supreme happiness that floods her world whenever she is near her beloved.

She piles up vivid comparisons like sparkling dominoes: the sky competes with the shine of her partner’s hair, a gentle breeze loses to the music of their laughter, and chilly dawns disappear the moment their hands touch. In those arms, failure and sadness simply do not exist. Celia even trades worldly glory for the pride of hearing her lover proclaim that she is completely theirs. The song becomes a jubilant ode to a love so powerful it turns every instant into a carnival of color, warmth, and unshakable confidence.
