[English]

It's been

A few months now

I'm not trying anymore

I know you don't want to see me

Every time I look at

The books you left me

And that I didn't return

Because I'm a mess

I can't help but think

That I feel like seeing you

And being friends again

Like we always were

And hanging out at your place

On Sunday afternoons

Swimming at the beach

Going to the movies on Tuesdays

This sucks

I'm not being immature

This silent treatment

Feels like a dictatorship

And although it seems logical

I just don't get it anymore

That after so many years

Now we don't even speak

I can't help but think

That I feel like seeing you

And being friends again

Like we always were

And hanging out at your place

On Sunday afternoons

Swimming at the beach

Going to the movies on Tuesdays

I get nervous

When I take the subway

In case we bump into each other

In space and time

And although I'm embarrassed

To say hello to you again

As if nothing had happened

I won't know how to act

And I have to be careful

When I go to concerts

In case I see you there

After so much time

And we look away

Like they do in that Japanese comic

I can't help but think

...

That I feel like seeing you

And being friends again

Like we always were

And hanging out at your place

On Sunday afternoons

When there's nothing else to do

But that's not possible

Because I know you don't want to see me anymore

...

[Spanish]

Han pasado ya

Unos cuantos meses

Ya no intento nada

Sé que no quieres verme

Cada vez que miro

Los libros que me dejaste

Y que no te devolví

Porque soy un desastre

No puedo evitar pensar

Que me apetece verte

Y volver a ser amigos

Como lo fuimos siempre

Y quedar en tu casa

Los domingos por la tarde

Bañarnos en la playa

Ir al cine los martes

Esto es una mierda

No estoy siendo una inmadura

Este pacto de silencio

Parece una dictadura

Y aunque parezca lógico

Yo ya no lo comprendo

Que después de tantos años

Ahora ya ni nos hablemos

No puedo evitar pensar

Que me apetece verte

Y volver a ser amigos

Como lo fuimos siempre

Y quedar en tu casa

Los domingos por la tarde

Bañarnos en la playa

Ir al cine los martes

Me pongo nerviosa

Al coger el metro

Por si luego coincidimos

En el espacio tiempo

Y aunque me de vergüenza

Volver a saludarte

Como si no pasara nada

No sabré como comportarme

Y tengo que tener cuidado

Cuando voy a los conciertos

Por si luego allí te veo

Después de tanto tiempo

Y apartamos las miradas

Como hacen en aquel cómic japonés

No puedo evitar pensar

Que me apetece verte

Y volver a ser amigos

Como lo fuimos siempre

Y quedar en tu casa

Los domingos por la tarde

Cuando no hay nada que hacer

Pero eso no es posible

Porque sé que ya no me quieres ver
