y si ya no vuelvo a verte, ojala (7) que tengas suerte.

Estribillo (x2)

(1) In Spanish is common to use words as: AMOR (love), CIELO (heaven), VIDA (life), CORAZON (heart) to name our lover.
(2) La suerte está echada = the die is cast. It means that the fate has taken charge over my life.
(3) Lo nuestro = ours (our thing), meaning our involvement, our relationship.
(4) No hay cuidado = literally means “there is no care”, but what it means here is “you don’t need to have care, you don’t need to worry”. Is difficult to translate…
(5) gato = male cat; gata = female cat
(6) In Spanish we use double negative sentences: No digas nada (don’t say nothing). Conceptually, it is wrong, as if you don’t say nothing, then you are saying something...
So we say "No sé nada: I dont know nothing", "No quiero nada, I dont want nothing" or the positives "Sé algo, I Know something", "Quiero algo, I want something" or “Di algo, say something”.
(7) Ojalá = I hope something happen; let´s hope so!
La palabra "ojalá" viene del árabe لو شاء الله (law sha'a Allah) "si Dios quisiera".
The word “ojalá” derives from Arabic لو شاء الله (law sha'a Allah) "if God would will".
