La llamada [English translation]

Every night

at the end of the day

I try to contact you

like a mad man

but I cannot reach you.

Later in my room,

gazing at your picture

and waiting for your call,

I begin to lose hope.

And you called me

(just when) I thought

that was it,

that I would

not be able to sleep

because I would be thinking of you.

Don't do this to me

I am alone until daybreak

and I can't resist the warmth of your memories.

I talk to you

until dawn

and I imagine that you are my pillow.

I keep talking,

but time stands still

and finally my suffering ends.

Chorus:

And I don't care

whose listening;

let everyone realize

how much I love you.

It doesn't matter

if the phone line is crossed,

let the world know

about this call.

My friends

criticize me

saying that I am old,

that I don't go out with them anymore,

that I haven't

partied recently,

they feel sorry

for my poor

circumstance

(and say that) of long-distance love

doesn't last

They advise me

to forget about what we have,

to go out with Gloria again,

who cannot forget me;

or if that fails,

to find

a girlfriend, even better if she is the operator

of the regional service.*

(Chorus)

I call you (when I'm) at home

at the office

and in the car,

the corner store

and from

a borrowed cellphone..

when I am buying the pre-paid

phone service cards

or I wait

until you call me,

which is free!

And I don't care

if they are listening

Let everyone realize

how much I love you

and it doesn't matter

if the call is crossed,

let the world know

about this call...

and let the world

know about this call

because it doesn't matter

if (the call) is crossed.
