Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

En un día de estos en que suelo pensar

One of these days I often think about

Hoy va a ser el día menos pensado

Today will be the least expected day

Nos hemos cruzado, has decidido mirar

We crossed paths, you've decided to look

A los ojitos azules que ahora van a tu lado

At the little blue eyes that now walk beside you

Desde el momento en que te conocí

From the moment I met you

Resumiendo, con prisas tiempo de silencio

In a hurry, a moment of silence

Te juro que a nadie le he vuelto a decir

I swear I haven't told anyone

Que tenemos el récord del mundo en querernos

That we hold the world record for loving each other

Y Por eso esperaba con la carita empapada

And that's why I waited, my face soaked

A que llegara con rosas, con mil rosas para ti

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

Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas

Because you already know I love those things

Que no importa si es muy tonto, soy así

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

Aunque parece mentira que se escape mi vida

Though it seems unbelievable that my life slips away

Imaginando que vuelves a pasarte por aquí

Imagining you passing by here again

Donde los viernes cada tarde, como siempre

Where every Friday afternoon, as always

La esperanza dice quieto, hoy quizás sí

Hope says, stay still, maybe today

Rosas de mariposas chiquita puro porte diferente

Small butterfly roses, pure Porte Diferente style

Escapando una noche de un bostezo de sol

Escaping one night from a yawn of the sun

Me pediste que te diera un beso

You asked me to give you a kiss

Con lo barato que sale mi amor

With how cheap my love is

Qué te cuesta en callarme con uno de esos

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

Pasaron seis meses me dijiste adiós

Six months passed, you said goodbye

Un placer coincidir en esta vida

A pleasure crossing paths in this life

Allí me quedé una mano el corazón

There I stayed, one hand, the heart

En la otra excusas es que ni tú entenderías

In the other, excuses no one would understand

Y por eso esperaba con la carita empapada

And that's why I waited, my face soaked

A que llegara con rosas, mil rosas para ti

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

Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas

Because you already know I love those things

Que no importa si es muy tonto, soy así

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

Aunque parece mentira que se escape mi vida

Though it seems unbelievable that my life slips away

Imaginando que vuelvas a pasarte por allí

Imagining you'll pass by again somewhere

Donde los viernes cada tarde, como siempre

Where every Friday afternoon, as always

La esperanza dice quieto, hoy quizás sí

Hope says, stay still, maybe today
