Bonsai

OhAh

At a friend's party I ran into youEn la fiesta de un amigo, te crucé
And I looked at you, you looked at me tooY yo te miré, me 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
(Ok)(Ok)

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 arrive, and the Moon was coming out, I thoughtViendo que no llegabas y 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 bonsái
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 context or your way of walkingY no sé si habrá sido el contexto floral o 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 again, until you formY volver a mezclar, hasta que formes
That which is yours and I want to give youEso que es tuyo y 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 bonsái
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

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 again, until you formY volver a mezclar, hasta que formes
That which is yours and I want to give youEso que es tuyo y yo quiero darte

It will be something in the air¿Será algo en el aire
Or maybe it's just you?O quizás solo sos vos?
