[English]

One of these days I often think about

Today will be the least expected day

We crossed paths, you've decided to look

At the little blue eyes that now walk beside you

From the moment I met you

In a hurry, a moment of silence

I swear I haven't told anyone

That we hold the world record for loving each other

And that's why I waited, my face soaked

Hoping you'd arrive with roses, a thousand roses for you

Because you already know I love those things

It doesn't matter if it's silly, that's just me

Though it seems unbelievable that my life slips away

Imagining you passing by here again

Where every Friday afternoon, as always

Hope says, stay still, maybe today

Small butterfly roses, pure Porte Diferente style

Escaping one night from a yawn of the sun

You asked me to give you a kiss

With how cheap my love is

How much does it cost to hush you with one of those?

Six months passed, you said goodbye

A pleasure crossing paths in this life

There I stayed, one hand, the heart

In the other, excuses no one would understand

And that's why I waited, my face soaked

Hoping you'd arrive with roses, a thousand roses for you

Because you already know I love those things

It doesn't matter if it's silly, that's just me

Though it seems unbelievable that my life slips away

Imagining you'll pass by again somewhere

Where every Friday afternoon, as always

Hope says, stay still, maybe today

...

[Spanish]

En un día de estos en que suelo pensar

Hoy va a ser el día menos pensado

Nos hemos cruzado, has decidido mirar

A los ojitos azules que ahora van a tu lado

Desde el momento en que te conocí

Resumiendo, con prisas tiempo de silencio

Te juro que a nadie le he vuelto a decir

Que tenemos el récord del mundo en querernos

Y Por eso esperaba con la carita empapada

A que llegara con rosas, con mil rosas para ti

Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas

Que no importa si es muy tonto, soy así

Aunque parece mentira que se escape mi vida

Imaginando que vuelves a pasarte por aquí

Donde los viernes cada tarde, como siempre

La esperanza dice quieto, hoy quizás sí

Rosas de mariposas chiquita puro porte diferente

Escapando una noche de un bostezo de sol

Me pediste que te diera un beso

Con lo barato que sale mi amor

Qué te cuesta en callarme con uno de esos

Pasaron seis meses me dijiste adiós

Un placer coincidir en esta vida

Allí me quedé una mano el corazón

En la otra excusas es que ni tú entenderías

Y por eso esperaba con la carita empapada

A que llegara con rosas, mil rosas para ti

Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas

Que no importa si es muy tonto, soy así

Aunque parece mentira que se escape mi vida

Imaginando que vuelvas a pasarte por allí

Donde los viernes cada tarde, como siempre

La esperanza dice quieto, hoy quizás sí
