«Llevo una hora esperando»
Spanish has many ways to talk about an action that started in the past and is still happening now: «llevo una hora esperando», «hace una hora que espero», «estoy esperando desde hace una hora». English uses one tense for all of them: the present perfect continuous, "I've been waiting for an hour".
I've been waiting for an hour.
Llevo una hora esperando.
