Wherever You Are
Selena Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could only hear your voice (oír tu voz) (eh-yeh-yeh)
Your words (tus palabras)
Your thoughts (tus pensamientos)
Siempre seré tu primer amor (I'll always be you first love)

Uh, yeah, hey (recuerda que siempre estoy a tu lado)
Oh (yeah)
Oh, oh, yeah

The morning comes wihtout you with me
The afternoon drags out without your love
Another day, another heartache
Without you here the sun won't shine no more

Y mis paredes gritan por tu amor
Enloqueciéndome
Tu imagen vive en mi habitación
Amándome, sonriéndome, extrañándote

Girl wherever you are (recureda) (recureda)
Girl wherever you go I'll be with you (te pienso y te siento)
Girl, wherever you are
I'll always be tu primer amor (your first love)

Just loneliness lives deep inside me
And all thats left are memories in my mind
I see your smile, I hear you laughter
I feel your kiss still linger on my lips

Will time and distance make you want me more? (La distancia)
And bring me back your love
Solo el pasado de los dos (lo dirá)
Lo dirá

Girl wherever you are (recureda)
Girl wherever you go I'll be with you (te pienso y te siento)
Girl, wherever you are
Siempre seré tu primer amor

I'm your first love (tu primer amor)
Only you and I (solo tú y yo)
I'm your first love (tu primer amor)
Only you and I (solo tú y yo, uoh-oh)

Will time and distance make you want me more? (La distancia)
And bring me back your love
Solo el pasado de los dos lo dirá
Lo dirá

Girl wherever you are (recureda)
Girl wherever you go I'll be with you (te pienso y te siento)
Girl, wherever you are
Siempre seré tu primer amor

Girl wherever you are (recureda)
Girl wherever you go I'll be with you (te pienso y te siento)
Girl, wherever you are

Girl wherever you are (tu primer amor)
Girl wherever you go I'll be with you (tu primer amor)
Girl, wherever you are (solos tú y yo)

I haven't heard this song in a million years, it brings back memories of my student days
in the last year of school.
In 1993 or 1994 they put it in all the teenage parties, also in the Discotheques...here in Ecuador it was all musical phenomenon, Selena and the Barrio Boyzz
