Pasos de Gigantes

• By: Bacilos

Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

No puedo reir, no puedo llorar

I can't laugh, I can't cry

No puedo dejarte de recordar

I can't stop remembering you

No puedo decirte nada que tu no sepas

I can't tell you anything you don't already know

Tan solo puedo quedarme como un idiota

I can only stay here like an idiot

Pensando en cosas que me provoca

Thinking of things that make me want

Hacer contigo en islas perdidas

To do with you on lost islands

No puedo gritar, no puedo exigir

I can't scream, I can't demand

No puedo contarte lo que sentí

I can't tell you what I felt

No puedo decirte nada, tu estás tan lejos

I can't say anything, you're so far away

Y tu que no sabes nada y lo sabes todo

And you who know nothing and know everything

Que me derrites de tantos modos

You melt me in so many ways

Dime pa' donde vas con mi vida...

Tell me where you're going with my life...

Carito el corazón..., me queda grande

Carito, my heart..., it's too big for me

Cuando yo pienso en ti, yo siento pasos de gigante

When I think of you, I feel giant steps

Carito esta canción..., es importante

Carito, this song..., it's important

Porque cuando la canto yo juro que estas ahí delante...

Because when I sing it, I swear you're right there in front...

Porque cuando la canto yo juro que estas ahí delante...

Because when I sing it, I swear you're right there in front...

Se fue complicando la situación

The situation got complicated

Y no hay que olvidarse que al corazón

And we mustn't forget that the heart

Le puedes decir de todo menos mentiras

Can be told everything but lies

Tu ibas para allá yo iba para acá

You were going that way, I was going this way

Y fue tan bonito verte cruzar

And it was so beautiful to see you cross

Al menos por un ratito por mi camino

At least for a little while on my path

Carito el corazón..., me queda grande

Carito, my heart..., it's too big for me

Cuando yo pienso en ti, yo siento pasos de gigante

When I think of you, I feel giant steps

Carito esta canción..., es importante...

Carito, this song..., it's important...

Porque cuando la canto yo juro que estas ahí delante...

Because when I sing it, I swear you're right there in front...

Porque cuando la canto yo juro que estas ahí delante...

Because when I sing it, I swear you're right there in front...

Ahi delante, ahí delante, ahí delante, estás ahí delante...

Right there in front, right there in front, right there in front, you're right there in front...

Tu ibas para allá, yo iba para acá

You were going that way, I was going this way

Y fue tan bonito verte cruzar

And it was so beautiful to see you cross

Al menos por un ratito por mi camino...

Carito el corazón..., me queda grande

Carito, my heart..., it's too big for me

Cuando yo pienso en ti, yo siento pasos de gigante

When I think of you, I feel giant steps

Carito esta canción..., es importante

Carito, this song..., it's important

Porque cuando la canto yo juro que estas ahi delante

Because when I sing it, I swear you're right there in front

Porque cuando la canto yo juro, yo juro

Because when I sing it, I swear, I swear

Canto yo juro, que estas ahí delante

I sing, I swear, that you're right there in front

Canto yo juro, canto yo juro, yo juro

I sing, I swear, I sing, I swear, I swear

Canto yo juro, que estas ahí delante, canto yo juro

I sing, I swear, that you're right there in front, I sing, I swear

Porque cuando la canto yo juro que estas ahí delante...

Because when I sing it, I swear you're right there in front...
