Bonsai

OhAh

At a friend's party I ran into youEn la fiesta de un amigo te crucé
And I looked at youY yo te miré
You looked at me tooMe miraste también
I asked you for your phone numberTe pedí tu teléfono
You said: I don't have one I only use GmailDijiste: Yo no tengo, solo uso Gmail

After several drafts I quoted youTras varios borradores te cité
To have tea in the Japanese GardenA tomar el té al Jardín Japonés
Seeing that you didn't arriveViendo que no llegabas
And the Moon was coming out, I thoughtY la Luna se asomaba, yo pensé
Did she write it down correctly?¿Habrá anotado bien?

But you appeared behind a BonsaiPero te apareciste detrás de un Bonsai
Without apologizing for the time, you said: How's it going?Sin excusarte por la hora dijiste: ¿Cómo va?
And I don't know if it was the floral contextY no sé si habrá sido el contexto floral
Or your way of walkingO tu forma al caminar
But I went with youPero yo me fui con vos
Like Icarus and the SunComo Ícaro y el Sol

Could it be something in the air?¿Será algo en el aire?
Somewhere in my roomEn algún lugar de mi habitación
I hid a color that I invented for youEscondí un color que inventé para vos
I do not know its nameNo sé su nombre
Nor how much it shinesNi cuánto brilla
But I know it's yoursPero sé que es tuyo

And if you look for it but you can't find itY si lo buscás pero no encontrás
You'll have to guessTendrás que adivinar
And mix againY volver a mezclar
Until you formHasta que formes
That which is yoursEso que es tuyo
And I want to give youY yo quiero darte
But you're always latePero siempre llegás tarde

I met up with a friend and told himMe junté con un amigo y le conté
That although I feel goodQue aunque me siento bien
I always fall on my feetSiempre caigo de pie
There is something deep down that itches meHay algo desde el fondo que me pica
And although I think I don't know exactly what it isY aunque pienso no sé bien qué es

Weeks passed and I noticedPasaron las semanas y noté
That the relationship stagnated one dayQue la relación un día se estancó
Routine can be harmfulLa rutina puede ser algo dañina
For people like you and mePara gente como vos y yo

But you showed up one day with a BonsaiPero te apareciste un día con un Bonsai
I saw you so excited that I couldn't speakTe vi tan emocionada que no pude hablar
You told me: I saw it, I thought of you and then I had to take itMe dijiste: Lo vi, pensé en vos y entonces lo tuve que llevar
And I fall in love againY me vuelvo a enamorar
And we start againY volvemos a empezar

It will be something in the airSerá algo en el aire
Somewhere in my roomEn algún lugar de mi habitación
I hid a color that I invented for youEscondí un color que inventé para vos
I do not know its nameNo sé su nombre
Nor how much it shinesNi cuánto brilla
But I know it's yoursPero sé que es tuyo

And if you look for it but you can't find itY si lo buscas pero no encontrás
You'll have to guessTendrás que adivinar
And mix againY volver a mezclar
Until you formHasta que formes
That which is yoursEso que es tuyo
And I want to give youY yo quiero darte

It will be something in the airSerá algo en el aire
Or maybe it's just youO quizás solo sos vos
