The chorus, 'Y yo sigo buscándote... Y no lo puedo evitar... Mami, yo sigo extrañándote... Yo no se que va a pasar...' which means 'And I keep looking for you... And I can't help it...

If last night you were mine and I could show you...' reflect the bewilderment and hurt of being left behind. The song's emotional depth is further amplified by the artists' passionate delivery, making 'Y tu no estas' a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring hope for reconciliation.
