Hoy Lyrics in English Gloria Estefan

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hoy by Gloria Estefan from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
I have marked on my chest
All the days that time
didn't let me be here
I have a faith that matures
that goes with me and heals me
since I met you
I have a lost trace
between your shadow and mine
that doesn't let me lie
I am a coin in the fountain
you're my pending wish
my desire to revive
Chorus 1
I have a frustrating morning
and a watercolor waiting
Chorus 1
to see you painted blue
I have your love and your luck
and a steep little path
I have the sea on the other side
you're my north and my south
Today I'm gonna see you again
I'm gonna wrap myself in your clothes
Whisper to me in your silence
when you see me arrive
Today I'm gonna see you again
I'm gonna cheer your sadness
We're gonna throw a party
so that this love grows more
Verse 2
I have a phrase hanging
between my mouth and my pillow
that strips me before you
I have a beach and a town
that keep me company at night
when you're not next to me
Chorus 2
I have a frustrating morning
and a watercolor waiting
Chorus 2
to see you painted blue
I have your love and your luck
and a steep little path
I have the sea on the other side
you're my north and my south
Today I'm gonna see you again
I'm gonna wrap myself in your clothes
Whisper to me in your silence
when you see me arrive
Today I'm gonna see you again
I'm gonna cheer your sadness
We're gonna throw a party
so that this love grows more
Today I'm gonna see you again
I'm gonna wrap myself in your clothes
Whisper to me in your silence
when you see me arrive
Today I'm gonna see you again
I'm gonna cheer your sadness
We're gonna throw a party
so that this love grows more

SONG MEANING

“Hoy” feels like an emotional postcard sent from the heart. Gloria Estefan sings about the excitement of finally reuniting with a loved one, after counting every single day they were apart. Her words paint vivid pictures: a coin tossed in a fountain represents an unfulfilled wish, a steep path shows the effort she is willing to make, and the ocean on the other side hints at the distance she has crossed. Above all, she carries a “matured faith” that keeps her strong, turning the long-awaited today into a promise of healing, celebration, and new beginnings.

The song is a joyful declaration of “I’m on my way, and nothing will stop this love.” Estefan’s Latin folk rhythms mirror the passion in the lyrics: she wants to wrap herself in her partner’s clothes, whisper in silence, and throw a private fiesta so their love can “grow even more.” Every metaphor points to the same message: love gives direction, energy, and color to life—making the moment they meet again not just a reunion, but a rebirth for both hearts.
