Nelly Furtado – Te Busqué

I’ve been high, I’ve been low
I’ve been fast, I’ve been slow
Having no where to go
Missed the bus, missed the show

I’ve been down on my luck
I’ve felt like giving up
My life locked in the trunk
When it hurt way too much

Needed a reason to live
Some love inside me to give
I couldn’t rest
I had to keep on searching

Chorus:
Te busqué
Debajo de las piedras y no te encontré
En la mañana fría y en la noche
Te busqué, hasta enloquecer
Pero tu llegaste a mi vida como una luz
Sanando las heridas de mi corazón
Y haciendome sentir vivo otra vez

I’ve been too sad to speak
And too tired to eat
Been so low that I say
The world cut off my wings

I’ve been hurt by my past
But I feel the future in my dreams
And at last I wake up I’m not sure

I wanted to find a light
Something just didn’t feel right
Needed an answer to end all my searchin’

(Chorus)

Spoken:
I look in the mirror, the picture’s getting clearer
I wanna be myself, but does the world really need her?
I ache for the earth, I stop going to church
I seek god in the trees, makes me fall on my knees
My depression keeps building
Like a cup overfillin’
My hearts so rigid, I keep it in a fridge and
It hurts so bad that I can’t dry my eyes
Cause I keep on refilling it with the tears that I cry

(Chorus x2)

Chorus translation:
I looked for you
Under the rocks and I didn’t find you
In the cold morning and the night
I looked for you, until going crazy

But you came to my life as a light
Healing the wounds of my heart
And making me feel alive once again
