Si Tú No Estás
Julieta Venegas
If You're Not Here
I saw mountains and valleys,
I saw people and planes,
I saw whole nights,
In transition.
I saw stories of others,
I saw strangers,
Who wouldn’t stop being,
Who they are.
If you’re not here,
The plants will still grow,
And if you are,
Somewhere else,
Time won’t stand still.
I saw the world and the seas,
I saw clouds and ponds,
That wouldn’t change,
Deep down in what they are,
I saw what I had to see,
But I left you,
Waiting for something,
I was going to say.
If you’re not here,
The plants will still grow,
And if you are,
Somewhere else,
Time won’t stand still.
I ignored that reality transforms,
Even if I’m not there,
I decided to leave and you forgot,
There was still something,
I was going to say.
If you’re not here,
The plants will still grow,
And if you are,
Somewhere else,
Time won’t stand still,
If you’re not here,
The plants will still grow,
And if you are,
Somewhere else,
Time won’t stand still.
I saw mountains and valleys,
I saw the world, I saw the seas,
I saw mountains and valleys.
