Que pesan más los daños que los mismos años, al final
Por eso yo quiero que mis años pasen junto a ti, mi amor eterno
Junto a mi familia, junto a mis amigos y mi voz
Porque nada valgo, porque nada tengo, si no tengo lo mejor
Tu amor y compañía, en mi corazón
Y es que vale más tener bien llenito el corazón
Por eso yo quiero que en mi mente, siempre tu cariño esté bien fuerte
Aunque estemos lejos o aunque estemos cerca del final
Porque nada valgo, porque nada tengo, si no tengo lo mejor
Tu amor y compañía, en mi corazón
Ven amor
Me siento débil cuando estoy sin ti
Y me hago fuerte cuando estas aquí
Sin ti yo ya no sé que es vivir
Mi vida es un túnel sin tu luz
Quiero pasar más tiempo junto a ti
Recuperar las noches que perdí
Vencer el miedo inmenso de morir
Y ser eterno junto a ti
Porque nada valgo, porque nada tengo, si no tengo lo mejor
Tu amor y compañía, en mi corazón
Por eso yo quiero que en mi mente, siempre tu cariño esté bien fuerte
Aunque estemos lejos o aunque estemos cerca del final
Porque nada valgo, porque nada tengo, si no tengo lo mejor
Tu amor y compañía, en mi corazón
Ven amor
Me siento débil cuando estoy sin ti
Y me hago fuerte cuando estas aquí
Sin ti yo ya no sé que es vivir
Mi vida es un túnel sin tu luz
Quiero pasar más tiempo junto a ti
Recuperar las noches que perdí
Vencer el miedo inmenso de morir
Y ser eterno junto a ti
Porque nada valgo, porque nada tengo, si no tengo lo mejor
Tu amor y compañía, en mi corazón
The song "Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor" by Juanes is a powerful declaration of the importance of love and companionship in life. It begins by acknowledging that as time passes and people grow older, they begin to realize that the weight of their past mistakes and losses seems to outweigh the years themselves. However, the singer knows that the one thing that makes life worth living is the love of his partner, his family, and his friends. He wants to be able to spend the rest of his life with them, always close to their love and support.
The chorus repeats the refrain that the singer is nothing and has nothing without the love and companionship of his partner. He values a late year spent with his love more than a hollow century without it. He wants his love to always be on his mind, even if they are physically apart or nearing the end of their lives.
In the second verse, the singer expresses his weakness and dependence on his partner's love. He feels lost and unsure of how to live without it, but is strengthened when he is with them. He wants to make up for lost time and conquer his fear of death by being eternal with his love.
Overall, "Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor" is a heartwarming and emotional tribute to the importance of love and companionship in life. It emphasizes the idea that material possessions and accomplishments mean nothing without the love and support of the people we care about.
