Ayer Lyrics in English Juan Luis Guerra
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ayer by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Ayer
Yesterday
Te estuve buscando
I was looking for you
Y no te pude ver, no, no, no
And I couldn't see you, no, no, no
Te amé de oído por primera vez
I loved you by ear for the first time
Me detuve en el silencio
I stopped in the silence
Exiliado de tus besos
Exiled from your kisses
Ayer
Yesterday
Mi sombra no se encendió
My shadow didn't ignite
De tu querer, no, no, no, no, no
By your love, no, no, no, no, no
No hubo concierto del cariño aquel
There was no concert of that affection
Y no pude atar mi cuerpo
And I couldn't tie my body
A la geografía de tu piel
To the geography of your skin
No no no no, no no, no no no no, no no no no
No no no no, no no, no no no no, no no no no
Ayer
Yesterday
Mis lágrimas se pasearon
My tears took a stroll
Tras de ti
After you
Como corriente que fluye del mar
Like a current flowing from the sea
Me enredé bajo la luna
I got tangled under the moon
Reflejando su cintura
Reflecting its waist
Ayer
Yesterday
Me acompañaba un café romántico, no, no, no
A romantic coffee kept me company, no, no, no
Cerré la noche y me entregué a soñar
I closed the night and surrendered to dreaming
Y rodé sobre tus piernas
And I rolled over your legs
Cuesta abajo hasta la tregua
Downhill until the truce
Mujer
Woman
Vísteme de infinito el corazón
Dress my heart in infinity
Húndete lentamente, amor
Sink slowly, love
Seré tuyo en un momento mágico
I'll be yours in a magic moment
Mánchame de rojo con tus labios
Stain me red with your lips
Jubílame el temor de amarte
Retire my fear of loving you
Y de paso lléname el vacío que hay de ti
And while you're at it fill the emptiness there is of you
Te estuve buscando y no te pude ver, no, no, no, no, no
I was looking for you and I couldn't see you, no, no, no, no, no
Detalles que no logro comprender
Details that I can't manage to understand
Si tú anidas en mis sueños, mamá
If you nest in my dreams, babe
Y yo vivo para ti, mujer
And I live for you, woman
Oye
Listen
Pero que mira, que yo
But look, that I
Te fui buscando ayer
I went looking for you yesterday
Y no te pude ver
And I couldn't see you
En la vida hay amores
In life there are loves
Que nunca pueden separarse
That can never separate
Así somos tú y yo, mujer
That's how you and I are, woman
Te fui buscando ayer
I went looking for you yesterday
Y no te pude ver
And I couldn't see you
Toma de mí todo
Take everything from me
Bébetelo a sorbos, mi bien
Drink it in sips, my dear
Te fui buscando ayer
I went looking for you yesterday
Y no te pude ver
And I couldn't see you
Mi dialecto es hablarte
My dialect is talking to you
Y besarte hasta la tregua, mujer
And kissing you until the truce, woman
Te fui buscando ayer
I went looking for you yesterday
Y no te pude ver
And I couldn't see you
Te fui buscando ayer
I went looking for you yesterday
Y no te pude ver
And I couldn't see you
Voy a amarte de oído
I'm going to love you by ear
A escucharte con ojos
To listen to you with eyes
Cambiar mis sentidos
To change my senses
Y hacerlo a tu antojo, yo
And do it at your whim, I
Te fui buscando ayer
I went looking for you yesterday
Y no te pude ver
And I couldn't see you
Cura de mis labios tu risa
Your laughter cures my lips
Me abres hasta el cielo y llovizna, tú ves
You open me up to the sky and drizzle, you see
Te fui buscando ayer
I went looking for you yesterday
Y no te pude ver
And I couldn't see you
Quiero oxigenar mi alma

Para respirar nostalgias de ti

Y no te pude ver

Oye niñita, no me mortifiques
Listen babe, don't torture me
No me desesperes
Don't make me desperate
Chévere, chévere
Cool, cool
Suéltame ese amor, mamita
Let go of that love for me, babe
Y aunque pasen ya los años
And even though the years go by
Mi cariño ir creciendo diariamente
My affection will keep growing daily
Y no te pude ver
And I couldn't see you
Y no pude atar tu cuerpo entre la gente
And I couldn't tie your body among the people
Y no te
And not you
Todos los besos que hay de tu boca

Hacia mi boca y viceversa
Toward my mouth and vice versa
Y no te pude ver
And I couldn't see you
Este amor me fiscaliza con su ciencia

Y no te pude ver
And I couldn't see you
Pero te digo que yo te fui buscando ayer
But I tell you that I went looking for you yesterday
Y no te pude ver, no
And I couldn't see you, no
Oh-ro-roi, ro-roi- ro-ro
Oh-ro-roi, ro-roi- ro-ro
