La vi en la puerta
Contemplando la distancia,
Tenía en los ojos
La nostalgia de esperar,
Tenía en sus ojos
Un ensueño marchitado,
El sueño que a mi vida
Jamás quiso llegar.
 
La vi en la puerta
La tarde se apagaba,
Pulsé su drama
Era el mismo que viví,
Pasé a su lado
Y con voz emocionada,
Le dije muy bajito...
¡Si me esperaras a mí!
 
¡Si me esperaras a mí!
Qué feliz sería mi vida,
Y que pequeña la herida
Que tanto te hace sufrir,
¡Si me esperaras a mí!
Por amor o por destino,
Vos no andarías penando
Ni yo andaría rodando,
¡Si me esperaras a mí!

English translation

I saw her at the door
Contemplating the distance,
I had in my eyes
The nostalgia of waiting,
She had in her eyes
A withered dream,
The dream that in my life
Never wanted to arrive.
 
I saw her at the door
The afternoon was fading,
I pressed her drama
It was the same one I lived,
I passed by her side
And with an excited voice,
I said very softly...
If you'd wait for me!
 
If you'd wait for me!
How happy my life would be,
And how small the wound
That makes you suffer so much,
If you would wait for me!
For love or destiny,
You wouldn't be in pain
Nor would I be rolling around,
If you'd wait for me!
