Cuando Faltas Tu
Puerto Rican Power
When You're Not Here
The pain feels too big when you're not here
When your joy walks away, my love
The house wants to swallow me when you're not here
My heart feels empty
The wine I drink has no meaning without your presence
And the bed is a daily punishment without your warmth
Your picture doesn't help, nor does the most intimate piece of clothing
Because no one comforts me, sweetheart, and nothing replaces your heat.
The pain feels too big when you're not here
When your joy walks away, my love
The house wants to swallow me when you're not here
My heart feels empty
The wine I drink has no meaning without your presence
And the bed is a daily punishment without your warmth
Your picture doesn't help, nor does the most intimate piece of clothing
Because no one comforts me, sweetheart,
And nothing replaces your heat.
The pain feels too big when you're not here
When your joy walks away, my love
The house wants to swallow me when you're not here
My heart feels empty
I find no joy in anything
I can't tie a ribbon on anyone
Every step is so heavy that I'd rather go out in the sun naked
Look at me how I cling like it's my life
And the anguish will be bad, sweetheart, that confines me with fear.
(The pain feels too big when you're not here)
And the bed is a punishment, I tell you, my darling, if you're not here
(The pain feels too big when you're not here)
Your picture doesn't help me at all, nor does the most intimate pain
Because nothing comforts me and this is a slavery
(The pain feels too big when you're not here)
But I have hope that you'll return, hear my plea
(The pain feels too big when you're not here)
That this fear I feel, I warn you, is taking away my youth.
As Julio says back in Colombia, my heart is empty if Natalia's not here.
(The heart stays empty when you're not here)
I feel empty inside, this love is torment
(The heart stays empty when you're not here)
Your picture is useless to me, I touch it and it's the same but it doesn't love me
(The heart stays empty when you're not here)
You, you, you, you, you when you're not here, when you're not here.
(The heart stays empty) And the bed is a punishment if I don't have your warmth
(The heart stays empty)
Empty because I don't have your love
(The heart stays empty)
Oh, come back, sweetheart, and take away this pain.
