Te Empecé a Echar de Menos
Manolo Otero
I Started Missing You
I started missing you
This morning
When I reached out my hand
Upon waking up and you weren't there
I started missing you
This morning
Seeing my clothes scattered
In the room
And the house in disarray
And then that emptiness
No one asks me
If I want this, or that
I don't even have the luck
To hear, even a reproach
Nothing, just silence
I started missing you
This morning
When everything was silence and solitude
Because you weren't there
I started missing you
This morning
And I heard without hearing them, your steps
And I smelled your perfume
And I thought I could make out your figure
In the darkness, and no
It wasn't true, you were fading away
Again
And now, here I am smoking
One cigarette after another
And I realize that you're
Like smoke, I try
To catch you and you escape
You escape from my life
A a a a a a a a a a
A a a a a a a a a a
I always hurried
To get home, always
Except tonight
I know you won't be there
And I think of so many things
Where will you be?
Who will you be with?
Who will be taking my place?
Oh, God!
How stupid I was
Letting you go
I started missing you
This morning
And now, that it's already night
I realize I was a fool
That I missed you
All day
And that I love you, I still
Love you
