Living in San Antonio for the last 30 years and being married to a Hispanic American for 18 years I am often asked if I speak Spanish and I joking say “poquito” only a little and then follow it with, I know enough of the bad words to cuss you out!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! that being said I saw my chosen artist twice in the early 1990’s before her death in 1995. Once in a nightclub and the other at Rosedale Park here in San Antonio. She was so personable and truly loved her fans. I am speaking of Selena Quintanilla-Perez. “Donde Quiera Que Estes” – Selena featuring the Barrio Boyz

Lyrics in Spanish

Si tan solo pudiera oír tu voz (oír tu voz)
Tus palabras (tus palabras)
Tus pensamientos (tus pensamientos)
Siempre seré tu primer amor
Mi despertar sin su mañana
Las cinco de la tarde, el día acabó
Es uno más sin tu mirada
Y con tu ausencia el sol se me escapó
Y mis paredes gritan por tu amor
Enloqueciéndome
Tu imagen vive en mi habitación
Amándome, sonriéndome, extrañándote
Donde quiera que estés
Recuerda
Donde quiera estaré a tu lado
Te pienso y te siento
Donde quiera que estés
Siempre seré tu primer amor
La soledad habita en mi alma
Mostrándome imágenes de ayer
De tu andar, de tu sonrisa
Y un beso triste al decir adiós
Si el tiempo y la distancia entre tú y yo (la distancia)
Uniera nuestro amor
Sólo el pasado de los dos lo dirá, lo dirá
Donde quiera que estés
Recuerda
Donde quiera estaré a tu lado
Te pienso y te siento (Donde quiera que estés)
Siempre seré tu primer amor
Tu primer amor (tu primer amor)
Solo tú y yo (solo tú y yo)
Tu primer amor (tu primer amor)
Solos en el amor (solo tú y yo)
Si el tiempo y la distancia entre tú y yo (la distancia)
Uniera nuestro amor
Solo el pasado de los dos lo dirá (lo dirá)
Donde quiera que estés
Recuerda
Donde quiera estaré a tu lado
Te pienso y te siento (Donde quiera que estés)
Siempre seré tu primer amor
Donde quiera que estés
Donde quiera estaré a tu lado
Donde quiera que estés
Donde quiera que estés (Tu, tu, tu primer amor)
Donde quiera estaré a tu lado (Tu, tu primer amor)
Donde quiera que estés (Tú y yo, tu primer amor, solos en)
Donde quiera que estés (El amor)

Lyrics English translation

If only I could hear your voice (hear your voice)
Your words (your words)
Your thoughts (your thoughts)
I will always be your first love
My awakening without your morning
Five in the afternoon, the day ended
It is one more without your look
And with your absence the sun escaped me
And my walls scream for your love
Going crazy
Your image lives in my room
Loving me, smiling at me, missing you
Wherever you are
Remember
Wherever I’ll be by your side
I think and I feel you
Wherever you are
I will always be your first love
Loneliness lives in my soul
Showing me pictures of yesterday
From your walk, from your smile
And a sad kiss when saying goodbye
If the time and distance between you and me (the distance)
Join our love
Only the past of the two will say it, it will say it
Wherever you are
Remember
Wherever I’ll be by your side
I think and I feel you (Wherever you are)
I will always be your first love
Your first love (your first love)
Only you and me (only you and me)
Your first love (your first love)
Alone in love (only you and me)
If the time and distance between you and me (the distance)
Join our love
Only the past of the two will tell (it will say)
Wherever you are
Remember
Wherever I’ll be by your side
I think and I feel you (Wherever you are)
I will always be your first love
Wherever you are
Wherever I’ll be by your side
Wherever you are
Wherever you are (You, your, your first love)
Wherever I want to be by your side (You, your first love)
Wherever you are (You and me, your first love, alone in)
Wherever you are (Love)
