La carretera [English translation]

It’s raining and the highway is wet.

What a long way! What a long wait!

I drive many miles thinking about her.

What a night! What a silence!

If she knew

that I’m speeding

thinking about her.

The lights of the passing cars,

the noise of the accelerating trucks...

It’s raining and there are no people on the street.

The villages on the way are already sleeping

and I’m speeding

thinking about her.

(Chorus)

I’m still on the highway seeking you.

At the end of my way I will find you,

I accelerated...

At that time the bars are closed,

love hotels are always waiting,

the train crosses my way, it’s long and slow,

the thoughts eat me up,

thinking about her,

thinking about her.

(Chorus)

I’m still on the highway seeking you.

At the end of my way I will find you,

I accelerated...

Thinking, imagining, my doubts rise.

I leave the curve without realizing

that the pointer shows 140.

(Chorus)

I’m still on the highway seeking you.

At the end of my way I will find you,

I accelerated...

It’s raining and the highway is wet

and I’m feeling jealous thinking about her,

lost between the doubts and the mist

I’m left alone and without petrol.

It’s raining and the highway is wet

and I’m jealous of the bags under her eyes

It’s raining and the highway is wet.

I don’t know if she is with someone else, if I knew...

It’s raining and the highway is wet.

The night already in the silence of long wait.

Thinking, imagining, my doubts rise...
