Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quien by Rey Ruiz from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Quién, cuando ya no aliente
Who, when he no longer encourages
Silenciosamente, llegará hasta ti
Silently, it will come to you
Y como el olvido
And like oblivion
Ya te habrá vencido
He will have already defeated you
Le dirás querido
You will tell him dear
Al igual que a mí
just like me
Quién borrará mis huellas
Who will erase my traces
Y encendiendo estrellas
And lighting stars
En la oscuridad
In the dark
Abrirá balcones
Will open balconies
Romperá crespones
He will break crapes
Y pondrá canciones
And he will play songs
En tu soledad
in your loneliness
Quién será mi relevo
Who will be my replacement
Quién te va a convencer
Who is going to convince you
Quién volverá de nuevo
Who will come back again
A reinar en tu ser
To reign in your being
Quién cuando ya me ausente
Who when I'm gone
Va a cruzar el puente
He is going to cross the bridge
Que mande a cerrar
Tell me to close
Y pondrá colores
And it will put colors
En tus sinsabores
in your troubles
Y te hará olvidar
And it will make you forget
Pronto mi pesar
Soon my regret
Yo tengo el doble de tu edad
I am twice your age
Más no me importa sucumbir
I don't mind succumbing anymore
A ver de cara la verdad
Let's face the truth
Del porvenir
Of the future
No vistas luto por mi amor
Don't mourn for my love
Pues no me gusta ser cruel
Well I don't like to be cruel
Y sé que nunca ese color
And I know that never that color
Le fue a tu piel
It was bad for your skin
Quién cuando yo me vaya
Who when I'm gone
Llegará a tu playa un anochecer
He will arrive at your beach one evening
Y pondrá su empeño
And he will put his effort
En velarte el sueño
In veiling your dream
Y lo harás tu dueño
And you will make it your owner
Casi sin querer
Almost accidentally
Quién besará tu pelo
Who will kiss your hair
Y en tu negro duelo
And in your black mourning
Te pondrá un clavel
He will give you a carnation
Ya diferente te verá la gente
People will see you differently
Nueva y sonriente
New and smiling
Como un cascabel
like a bell
Quién viene a suplicarme
Who comes to beg me
Quién dime dulce bien
Who tell me sweet good
Quién trata de borrarme
Who tries to erase me
Quién amor en tu sien
Who love in your temple
Quién por sustituirme
Who to replace me
Y por destruirme sin contemplación
And for destroying me without contemplation
Romperá en pedazos
Will break into pieces
Todos nuestros lazos
All our ties
Y sin compasión
And without compassion
Mi propio corazón
my own heart
