Translation to:en

La llamada

Toda las nochesal final de la jornadaque te buscocomo un locoy que no te puedo encontrarluego en mi cuartocontemplando tu retratoy esperando tu llamadacomienzo a desesperar.

Y me llamastey yo pensabaque ya nadaque yano podía dormirmepor estar pensando en tino me hagas estosola hastá la madrugaday al calor de tus recuerdos no me puedo resistir.

Y hablo contigohasta la alboraday me imagino que eres mi almohaday sigo hablandoy no pasa el tiempoy al fin se acaban mis sufrimientos.

Coro:Y no me importasi están oyendoque todos sepancuanto te quieroy que me importasi está cruzadaque el mundo sepade esta llamada.

Ya mis amigosme criticanque estoy viejoque ya no salgo con ellosque no he vueltoa parrandearque se lamentande mi pobrecircunstanciaque amor de larga distanciasiempre suele terminar.

Y me aconsejanque me olvide de esta historiaque vuelva a salir con Gloriaque no me puede olvidaro en su defectoque me consigauna novia mejor si es operadoradel servicio regional.

(coro)

Te llamo de la casala oficinay desde el carrola tienda de la esquinay desdeun celular prestadocomprando las tarjetasde servicio prepagadoo esperoa que me llamesque me sale regalado.

Y no me importasi están oyendoque todos sepancuanto te quieroy que me importasi está cruzadaque el mundo sepade esta llamaday que el mundo sepade esta llamadaque no me importasi está cruzada.

The call

Every nightat the end of the dayI try to contact youlike a mad manbut I cannot reach you.Later in my room,gazing at your pictureand waiting for your call,I begin to lose hope.

And you called me(just when) I thoughtthat was it,that I wouldnot be able to sleepbecause I would be thinking of you.Don't do this to meI am alone until daybreakand I can't resist the warmth of your memories.

I talk to youuntil dawnand I imagine that you are my pillow.I keep talking,but time stands stilland finally my suffering ends.

Chorus:And I don't carewhose listening;let everyone realizehow much I love you.It doesn't matterif the phone line is crossed,let the world knowabout this call.

My friendscriticize mesaying that I am old,that I don't go out with them anymore,that I haven'tpartied recently,they feel sorryfor my poorcircumstance(and say that) of long-distance lovedoesn't last

They advise meto forget about what we have,to go out with Gloria again,who cannot forget me;or if that fails,to finda girlfriend, even better if she is the operatorof the regional service.*

(Chorus)

I call you (when I'm) at homeat the officeand in the car,the corner storeand froma borrowed cellphone..when I am buying the pre-paidphone service cardsor I waituntil you call me,which is free!

And I don't careif they are listeningLet everyone realizehow much I love youand it doesn't matterif the call is crossed,let the world knowabout this call...and let the worldknow about this callbecause it doesn't matterif (the call) is crossed.
