Lyrics and translation Francisco Canaro - Al subir, al bajar (feat. Ernesto Famá)

Al subir, al bajar (feat. Ernesto Famá)

Noche, noche de nerviosa y larga espera
Duda que no puedo soportar,
Es medianoche y sin llegar.
Noche, noche de la cita tan ansiada
Sólo es mi inquietud la de esperar
Yo me pregunto si vendrá o no vendrá.

Sigo esperando el instante
Que llegue anhelante, temblando a la cita,
Y cada ruido que siento
Un sacudimiento en mi alma se agita.

Oigo el ascensor sin respirar
Al subir, al bajar,
Siento el corazón que se me va
Al subir, al bajar.

Se ha detenido y contento
Llego hasta la puerta del departamento,
Pero no es ella que llega
Y mi alma se entrega de nuevo a esperar.

On the Way up, on the Way Down (feat. Ernesto Famá)

Night, night of nervous and long wait
Doubt that I can't stand,
It's midnight and I haven't arrived.
Night, night of the long-awaited date
It is only my concern to wait
I wonder if he will come or not.

I'm still waiting for the moment
May he come yearning, trembling to the appointment,
And every noise I feel
A shaking in my soul is stirring.

I hear the elevator without breathing
On the way up, on the way down,
I feel the heart that is leaving me
On the way up, on the way down.

He has stopped and is happy
I get to the door of the apartment,
But it is not she who arrives
And my soul gives itself over to waiting again.
