Something Was Missing

Jamie Foxx

Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

I've made me a fortuneHice una fortuna

(That fortune made ten)(Esa fortuna hizo diez)

Been headlinedHe sido el centro de atención

And profiledY perfilado

Again and againUna y otra vez

But something was missingPero algo faltaba

(I never quite knew)(Nunca supe bien)

That something was someoneEse algo era alguien

But who?Pero ¿quién?

My speeches are greetedMis discursos son recibidos

With thunderous acclaimCon estruendoso aplauso

At two universitiesEn dos universidades

Bearing my nameQue llevan mi nombre

Yes, something was missingSí, algo faltaba

Each timei got throughCada vez que terminaba

That something was someoneEse algo era alguien

But who?Pero ¿quién?

Who could that someone be?¿Quién podría ser esa persona?

How could she make it known?¿Cómo podría hacerlo saber?

Who would need me for me?¿Quién me necesitaría por mí?

Need me for me alone?¿Necesitarme solo a mí?

He world was my oysterEl mundo era mi ostra

But where was the pearl?Pero ¿dónde estaba la perla?

Who dreamed I could find it¿Quién soñó que podría encontrarla?

Yes something was missingSí, algo faltaba

But dreams can come truePero los sueños se hacen realidad

That somethingEse algo

Is no oneNo es nadie

But youSino tú

Who would need me for me?¿Quién me necesitaría por mí?

Need me for me alone¿Necesitarme solo a mí?

The world was my oysterEl mundo era mi ostra

But where was the pearl?Pero ¿dónde estaba la perla?

Who'd dream I would find it¿Quién soñó que la encontraría

In one little girl?En una niña?

Yes, something was missingSí, algo faltaba

But dreams do come truePero los sueños se hacen realidad

That something is no one.....but youEse algo no es nadie... sino tú
