The talented artist decided to stay in Mexico while visiting the country along with the Cuban Modern Music Orquestra. In 1992, Luis Miguel recorded his songs "Pensar En Ti," featured on his album Aries, and "Que Tu Te Vas," on Nada Es Igual, which were good enough to captivate the attention of Warner Music. In 1997, Francisco Céspedes participated in Viña del Mar Festival, representing Mexico with "Hablo de Ti" and issuing his debut album, Vida Loca, that same year. In 1998, the singer and composer joined Presuntos Implicados, recording "Nadie Como Tú." Later, Céspedes made Donde Esta La Vida, recorded in Mexico and the U.S., produced by Juan Carlos Paz y Puente. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

Si Tu Ya No Estas
Francisco Céspedes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Este amor que de amor va muriendo
Pregunta en el alma por ti
Y parece decir
No es posible tenerte tan lejos
Tan lejos vivir
Y ahora no hay el perdón
Esa lágrima
Que anda llorando un final

No podrá
Callar
Mi dolor que es dolor para siempre
Si tu ya no estás
Es que fueron mil cosas
Mil tantas
Fue juntos andar

Y la vida
Parecía ese canto
Que no ha de cambiar
Porque un beso
Para que sea beso
No tiene un por qué
Es esa sensación
Y besarnos después
Como mata esta ausencia
No acaba, no hay nada, no soy
Nada más
Se perdió
En el mar
Que otro sueño
Se lleve esta pena
Si tú ya no estás
Es que fueron mil cosas

Mil tantas
Fue juntos andar
Y la vida
Parecía ese canto
Que no ha de cambiar
Porque un beso
Para que sea beso
No tiene un por qué
Es esa sensación
Y besarnos después
Como mata esta ausencia
No acaba, no hay nada
No soy
Nada más

Se perdió
En el mar
Que otro sueño
Se lleve esta pena
Si tú ya no estás
Que otro sueño
Se lleve esta pena
Si tú ya no estás
Que otro sueño

Se lleve esta pena
Si tú ya no estás
