QUERIDO TIEMPO Lyrics (English Translation) – Lucho RK

[Verse 1]
I know this place, and I’m known around here
I’m no stranger to anyone, and they aren’t to me either
I imagine what it would be like if I just flew and flew and flew, ah-ah-ah
Or at least didn’t hear it—but no, I can’t
You don’t hear Mom here; you don’t hear Grandma here
Dad doesn’t speak to me here; you can’t see the stars
Not the sun or the moon; the music doesn’t fill me up anymore
It’s been years since I cried; I don’t know if there’s blood in my veins
Millions in the bank—they bring relief, but they don’t take away the pain
I feel like a blank sheet of paper, waiting to see what fills it up
Tell me I don’t know how to express myself, tell me why I can’t open up

When all I want is to touch you, look you in the eye, and tell you that…

[Chorus]
I’d be lying if I said I don’t think about you
I’d be lying if I said, “I want you to leave”
I’d be lying if I said you don’t scare me
I’d be lying if I said I don’t miss the days when I hardly thought about you
I’d be lying if I said I don’t think about you
I’d be lying if I said, “I want you to leave”
I’d be lying if I said you don’t scare me
I’d be lying if I said I don’t miss the days when I hardly thought about you

[Verse 2]
To talk about you, I need two rums and four notebooks for a thousand lines
Under the sheets, under my bed—you’re so tough, even though I know you love me
Me, Carlitos, Sami, Golfo, Diego, Hugo, and Mom
Stay the night; I’ll lend you a t-shirt
I told the therapist, “I’m never coming back,” heh
I went to Miami to smoke, I went to Paris to eat
I went to L.A. Off to work, I went to Germany to drink
But I come back home and see the little island looking so beautiful at sunset
Stop by here, even if I can’t see you
I feel my people close by; my Cartier is set to an hour behind
The diamonds on my neck shine, but they’ll return to the earth eventually
I feel a little sad for you when you won’t be able to see me anymore

Take care of the ones I left behind, or else I’ll have to come back

[Chorus]
I’d be lying if I said I don’t think about you
I’d be lying if I said, “I want you to leave”
I’d be lying if I said you don’t scare me
I’d be lying if I said I don’t miss the time when I hardly thought about you
I’d be lying if I said I don’t think about you
I’d be lying if I said, “I want you to leave”
I’d be lying if I said you don’t scare me
I’d be lying if I said I don’t miss the time when I hardly thought about you

[Outro]
Folks, I want you to know that, as of today, you are very fortunate
You’re alive, you have a plate of food to eat, you have a roof over your heads, and a bed to sleep in
I’m asking you, please: live—always—Emilio is telling you this: always live life to the fullest
Life is a dance, and you have to dance until the music stops
