Singer: Los Tigres del Norte
Hubiera dado hasta la vida porque no te fueras
Hubiera caminado en fuego porque me quisieras
Y hoy que dices que fallaste
Que cada día es un castigo si no estás conmigo
Quiero preguntarte
I would have even given my life so that you wouldn’t go
I would have walked on fire so that you’d want me
And today you say that you made a mistake
That every day is a punishment if you’re not with me
I want to ask you
¿En dónde estabas cuando me moría?
¿Cuándo hasta el cielo se me desplomaba?
¿Cuándo abrazaba tu fotografía?
Y era un infierno cada madrugada
¿En dónde estabas cuando te quería?
¿Cuándo rezaba porque regresaras?
¿Cuándo peleaba con las noches frías?
Porque mi cuerpo te necesitaba
Cuando te amaba
Y aún tenía corazón
¿En dónde estabas?
Where were you when I was dying?
When even the sky was falling apart?
When I was hugging your picture?
And every morning was hell
Where were you when I wanted you?
When I would pray that you would return?
When I was fighting with the cold nights?
Because my body needed you
When I loved you
And I still had a heart
Where were you?
Hubiera renunciado a todo por cambiar la historia
Por arrancar este capítulo de mi memoria
Y hoy que dices que fallaste
Que cada día es un castigo si no estás conmigo
Quiero preguntarte
I would have given everything up to change history
To pull this chapter out of my memory
And today you say that you made a mistake
That every day is a punishment if you’re not with me
I want to ask you
¿En dónde estabas cuando me moría?
¿Cuándo hasta el cielo se me desplomaba?
¿Cuándo abrazaba tu fotografía?
Y era un infierno cada madrugada
¿En dónde estabas cuando te quería?
¿Cuándo rezaba porque regresaras?
¿Cuándo peleaba con las noches frías?
Porque mi cuerpo te necesitaba
Cuando te amaba
Y aún tenía corazón
¿En dónde estabas?
Where were you when I was dying?
When even the sky was falling apart?
When I was hugging your picture?
And every morning was hell
Where were you when I wanted you?
When I would pray that you would return?
When I was fighting with the cold nights?
Because my body needed you
When I loved you
And I still had a heart
Where were you?
