Si Tu No Estas
I was just listening so some of my favorite music and I realized another post I have lost in my less than perfect migration to Wordpress was on music I have learned to love here in Panama. My favorite ballad is by Rosana Arbelo. You can’t help but enjoy this song whether you understand Spanish or not. I used to have a web site that had several of her songs including Si Tu No Estas.
Enjoy this video of Rosana singing this song.
Si Tu No Estas
performed by Rosana Arbelo
from her album “Lunas Rotas”
No quiero estar sin ti
Si tú no estas aquí me sobra el aire
no quiero estar así
Si tú no estas la gento se hace nadie
Si tú no estas aquí no se
Que diablos hago amándote
Si tú no estas aquí sabrás
Que dios no va a enterder por que te vas
No quero estar sin ti
Si tú no estas aquí me falta el sueño
No quiero andar así
Latiendo un corazón de amor sin dueño
Si tú no estas aquí no se… (chorus)
Derramare mis sueños si algún día no te tengo
Lo mas grande se hará lo mas pequeño
Paseare en un cielo sin estrellas esta vez
Tratando de enterder quien hizo
Un infierno el paraíso
No te vayas nunca porque
No puedo estar sin ti
Si tú no estas aquí me quelma el aire
Si tú no estas aquí no se… (chorus)
Si tú no estas aquí
Translation
translated by Rossana
I don’t want to be without you
If you’re not here with me there’s so much air for me to breath
I don’t want to be like this
If you’re not here with me people becomes nothing.
If you’re not here with me then
why do I keep on loving you?
If you’re not here with me then you’ll know
that God won’t understand why you leave
I don’t want to be without you
If you’re not here with me I cannot sleep
I don’t want to be like this
with a beating heart full of love and no one to claim it for.
If you’re not here with me then… (chorus)
I will give away my dreams if I don’t have you
Diminishing even the biggest things
I will walk on a sky without stars
Trying to understand
who turned my paradise into hell
Don’t go away because
I cannot to be without you
If you’re not here with there’s a burning air on me
If you’re not here with me (chorus)
If you’re not here with me
Thank you so much for this beautiful web site. I purchased a CD in Argentina and this was the first song. I could play it 24 hours Rosana’s voice is so beautiful. I am just learning Spanish and this song makes me work more.
Hi Claire,
Thanks you for dropping in and the nice comment. I think Si Tu No Estas is a very pretty song.
This beautiful ballad sung by Rosana Arbelo absolutely warms my heart. Here’s to hoping Si Tu No Estas will win the heart of a new love for me. Thanks for sharing this wonderful song with so much emotion!
I wish you well.
Hi Barbara,
I am sure that there is someone that will fill the need and love that you desire. I am certain there is that perfect someone for all of us.
Thanks for dropping in and leaving a comment.
Lunas Rotas is one of my favourite CDs I have. I bought it on impulse at Majorca airport in May1997. The blend of Ms Arbelo’s angelic harmonies with the wonderful guitar playing of José Romero is probably best exemplified by this track. I tried to translate it but mere English cannot do it any justice. I try to sing along in Spinglés! I have only ever heard this music played outside of Spain once, it was part of a soundtrack to a USA film. I feel very fortunate that I have a copy.
