Verse 1

I know that you're upset, you don't want to talk

Girl, stop crying

For the one, who yesterday didn't appreciate you

You're more than that idiot

See that time is running out

Go out and have fun, my love, I want to see you dance

Take advantage of the fact you're single

And now nobody controls you

I want to dance with you while the hours pass

Chorus 1

I'm waiting all the time

Please, tell me how long

I have to wait so that you'll be happy and won't cry

When your smile is shining

And forgetting your problems

Or: And you're forgetting your problems

Nothing can compare to your beauty, my lady

Verse 2

While I'm here watching over you

To take away what's killing you

Or: Trying to help you get rid of what's killing you

Not for you to want me

OR: Not because I want you to want me

Understand that he's mistreating you

Hurting your heart

There's no reason to love him

It's hard to forget what they had, but it's better

Or: It's hard to forget what you had with him, but it's better

Than thinking about things

Or: Than going around thinking about the things

That you wish had never happened, beautiful

With the one who hurt a rose

And that's you, my precious

He's going to have it worse

Or: He's going to regret it

When he sees you with me, my love

And he'll want to hear from you, but he already lost his chance

I'll be here every day waiting for you

Imagining your kisses but you waste them with him

Chorus 2

I'm waiting all the time

I'm always waiting

Please, tell me how long

I have to wait so that you'll be happy and won't cry

When your smile is shining

And forgetting your problems

Nothing can compare to your beauty, my lady

Verse 3

Every day waiting for you

Imagining your kisses but you waste them with him

I'll be here, thinking about you at night

Your heart feels imprisoned and I'll save you from that

Chorus 3

I'm waiting all the time

Please, tell me how long

I have to wait so that you'll be happy and won't cry

When your smile is shining

And forgetting your problems

Nothing can compare to your beauty, my lady

velando — watching over

Velando is the present participle of the verb velar, which means "to watch over" someone, often through the night. It carries a deeper meaning than simply "watching"; it implies a devoted, protective vigil.

In the song, the singer says, "Mientras yo aquí estoy velando por sacarte lo que te está matando" (While I'm here watching over you, to take away what's killing you). He uses this beautiful word to express his deep concern and his desire to protect the person he loves from her pain, like a guardian keeping watch.

Feeling stuck in post-breakup blues? Manuel Turizo’s reggaeton gem “Esperándote” flips that sadness into a vibrant rescue mission. Over a smooth Caribbean beat, the Colombian singer steps in as a caring confidant, urging a tearful girl to dry her eyes, get up, and remember her own worth. He insists that the ex who “didn’t value you yesterday” no longer deserves her tears, and he paints her smile as a light powerful enough to erase any problem.

Throughout the chorus Turizo keeps repeating “ando todo el tiempo esperando”, proving he is ready night and day to trade her sorrow for freedom, dancing, and tender kisses. The song blends romantic devotion with empowerment: walk away from the one who hurt you, reclaim your happiness, and let someone who truly admires you celebrate your beauty. It is a catchy invitation to choose joy and let the rhythm guide you back to yourself.
