La Llamada Lyrics Translation (from “Mi Promesa”)
Jimenez writes about becoming someone’s secret lover after losing his place. He mentions ‘Now I’m your lover, and I deserve it’ in brutal self-awareness. The lyrics show irony in stealing moments with a woman who was once his partner.
Perdón Por LlamarteForgive me for calling,
No Pude AguantarmeI couldn’t help myself.
A Esta Hora Son Más De Las DoceIt’s already past twelve,
Quería EscucharteI just wanted to hear your voice.
Se Que Es Imposible Poder ContestarmeI know it’s impossible for you to answer me,
Se Muy Bien Que Tendré Que AprenderI know all too well that I’ll have to learn,
Debo AcostumbrarmeI have to get used to it.
Esta Claro Que Ahora Estas Con ElIt’s clear that you’re with him now.
Ocupando El Lugar Que DejeTaking the place that I left,
Que Ironia Que Hoy Te Este AbrazandoHow ironic that he’s holding you today,
Y Sintiendo Tu PielAnd feeling your skin.
Y Ahora QueAnd now that,
Tu Estas Con ElYou’re with him,
Solo Puedo Esperar El Momento En Que Te Pueda VerI can only wait for the moment I can see you.
Y Ahora QueAnd now that,
Debo AprenderI have to learn,
A Ocupar El Lugar De Tu Amante Si Eras Mi MujerTo take the place of your lover, when you were my woman.
Y Ahora QueAnd now what.
Tu Estas Con ElYou’re with him,
Solo Puedo Esperar El Momento En Que Te Pueda VerI can only wait for the moment I can see you.
Y Ahora QueAnd now that,
Debo AprenderI have to learn,
A Ocupar El Lugar De Tu Amante Si Eras Mi MujerTo take the place of your lover, when you were my woman.
Ahora Soy Tu AmanteNow I’m your lover,
Y Me Lo MerezcoAnd I deserve it.
De Tanto Jugar Contigo En La VidaFor playing so many games with you in life,
Perdi Mi PuestoI lost my spot.
Ahora Soy Tu AmanteNow I’m your lover,
Yo Tengo La CulpaI’m the one to blame.
Si De Pronto Te Llega El MensajeIf you suddenly get this message,
Te Pido DisculpasI apologize.
Pero No Me AguanteBut I couldn’t help myself.
Y Ahora QueAnd now that,
Tu Estas Con ElYou’re with him,
Solo Puedo Esperar El Momento En Que Te Pueda VerI can only wait for the moment I can see you.
Y Ahora QueAnd now that,
Debo AprenderI have to learn,
A Ocupar El Lugar De Tu Amante Si Eras Mi MujerTo take the place of your lover, when you were my woman.
