Gotitas Saladas Lyrics (English Translation) – Ángela Aguilar

[Verse 1: Ángela Aguilar]
salty droplets
It’s the rain that falls from my eyes every morning
Grudges, fights
I surrender because the war was lost before us

[Pre-Chorus: Ángela Aguilar]
You and I could have been so much, but we said goodbye
And the pain takes the place of the love we live

[Chorus: Ángela Aguilar]
And maybe there are no clouds, but the rain has gotten inside me

And it makes me angry, even if the sun comes out I can’t be happy
I don’t want to let you go, no, no
I don’t want to let you go, no, no

[Verse 2: Ángela Aguilar]
salty droplets
Companions stopping love, nurses of the soul
wet sadness
That I haven’t wanted to dry yet so you don’t leave

[Pre-Chorus: Ángela Aguilar]
You and I could have been so much, but we said goodbye
And the pain takes the place of the love we live

[Chorus: Ángela Aguilar]
And maybe there are no clouds, but the rain has gotten inside me
And it makes me angry, even if the sun comes out I can’t be happy
I don’t want to let you go, no, no
I don’t want to let you go, no, no

[Outro: Ángela Aguilar]
I don’t want to let you go, no, no
