Donde Quiera Que Estes (Where Ever You Are)

Selena · Ones [1983]

"(Barrio Boyzz)



If I could only hear your voice (oir tu voz)

your words (tus palabras)

your thoughts (tus pensamientos)....

(Selena)

Siempre sere tu primer amor

(translation:

I will always be your first love )

(BB)

I'll always be your first love

(translation:

Siempre sere tu primer amor )

(Selena)

Recuerda... siempre estoy a tu lado

(translation:

Remember... I'm always at your side)

(BB)

The mornin' comes without you with me

The afternoon drags on without your love

Another day, another heartache

Without you here the sun won't shine no more



(Selena)

Y mis paredes gritan por tu amor,

enloqueciendome

Tu imagen vive en mi habitacion,

amandome, sonriendome,

extranandote;ámandote

(translation:

And my walls cry for your love,

driving me crazy

Your memory lives in my room,

loving me, smiling at me, missing you



Girl, wherever you are

...Recuerda...

Girl, wherever you go, I'll be with you

...te pienso y te siento

(translation:

I think of you and I feel you )

Girl, wherever you are I'll always be

...tu primer amor (your first love)



(BB)

Just loneliness lives deep inside me

And all that's left are memories in my mind

I see your smile, I hear your laughter

I feel your kiss still linger on my lips



Will time and distance

make you want me more

...la distancia

And bring me back your love

Solo el pasado de los dos, lo dira

...lo dira...

(translation:

Only our past (together) will tell

...will tell it...)



(Chorus)



I'm your first love

...tu primer amor

Only you and I

...solo tu y yo

I'm your first love

...tu primer amor

Only you and I

...solo tu y yo
