El Reloj Lyrics in English by Il Volo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Reloj by Il Volo from Italian to English.
Reloj no marques las horas
Clock, don't mark the hours
Porque voy a enloquecer
Because I'm going to go crazy
Ella se ira para siempre
She will leave forever
Cuando amanezca otra vez
When it dawns again
Nomas nos queda esta noche
We only have this night left
Para vivir nuestro amor
To live our love
Y tu tic tac me recuerda
And your tick-tock reminds me
Mi irremediable dolor
My irremediable pain
Reloj deten tu camino
Clock, stop your path
Porque mi vida se apaga
Because my life is fading
Ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser
She is the star that lights up my being
Yo sin su amor no soy nada
Without her love, I'm nothing
Deten el tiempo en tu manos
Stop time in your hands
Haz esta noche perpetua
Make this night perpetual
Para que nunca se vaya de mi
So that she never leaves me
Para que nunca amanezca
So that it never dawns
Reloj deten tu camino
Clock, stop your path
Porque mi vida se apaga
Because my life is fading
Ella es la estrella que alumbra mi ser
She is the star that lights up my being
Yo sin su amor no soy nada
Without her love, I'm nothing
Deten el tiempo en tu manos
Stop time in your hands
Haz esta noche perpetua
Make this night perpetual
Para que nunca se vaya de mi
So that she never leaves me
Para que nunca amanezca
So that it never dawns

Did you like this lyrics translation?
perpetua — perpetual
Perpetua means "perpetual" or "everlasting." It's a strong, evocative word that isn't heard in everyday conversation, making it stand out.
In "El Reloj," the singer desperately pleads with the clock to make the night "perpetua" so that his beloved never leaves him. This word perfectly captures the intense desire to stop time and hold onto a fleeting moment of love, highlighting the song's dramatic and romantic core.
