Cuando Tú No Estás
María Elena Walsh
When You're Not Here
Alone on the path of my destiny
Without the shelter of your gaze
I am like the bird that on the way
Broke the strings of its song
When you're not here, the flower doesn't perfume
If you leave, the mist surrounds me
The thrush, the fountain, and the stars
Lose their seduction for me
When you're not here, hope dies
If you leave, my illusion goes away
Listen to my lament, which I trust to the wind
Everything is pain when you're not here
The radiant dawn is born
Clear morning, beautiful rosebush
The star shines, the fountain sings
Life laughs, because you're here
When you're not here, hope dies
If you leave, my illusion goes away
Listen to my lament, which I trust to the wind
Everything is pain when you're not here
