Rosas

Roses

Rosas

On one of those days when I usually think,En un día de estos en que suelo pensar
today will be the least expected day,Hoy va a ser el día menos pensado
we crossed pathsNos hemos cruzado
you decided to look at the blue eyes that are now by your sideHas decidido mirar a los ojitos azules que ahora van a tu lado
from the moment I met youDesde el momento en el que te conocí
showing off in a hurry, moments of silencePresumiendo con prisas, tiempo de silencio
I swear I haven't told anyone elseTe juro que a nadie le he vuelto a decir
that we hold the world record in loving each otherQue tenemos el récord del mundo en querernos

That's why I was waiting, with a tear-stained face, for you to arrive with rosesPor eso esperaba, con la carita empapada, que llegaras con rosas
(yes, a thousand roses for me)(Si, mil rosas para mí)
because you know I love those things,Por que ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas
it doesn't matter if it's silly, that's how I amQue no importa si es muy tonto soy así
and it still seems unbelievable that my life is slipping awayY aún me parece mentira que se escape mi vida
imagining that you'll come back around here,Imaginando que vuelves a pasarte por aquí
where every Friday evening, as always, hope saysDonde los viernes cada tarde como siempre la esperanza dice
be still and maybe yesQuieta y quizá si

One night, escaping a yawn from the sun,Escapando una noche un bostezo del Sol
you asked me for a kiss,Me pediste que te diera un beso
how cheap love can be,Con lo baratos que salen amor
why does it cost you so little to silence me with one of those?Que te cuesta callarme con uno de esos?
Six months passed and you said goodbye,Pasaron seis meses y me dijiste adiós
it was a pleasure to coincide in this life,Fue un placer coincidir en esta vida
there I stood with my hand on my heart,Ahí me quede con la mano en el corazón
and in the other, excuses that even you didn't understandY en la otra excusas que ni tu entendias

That's why I was waiting, with a tear-stained face, for you to arrive with rosesPor eso esperaba, con la carita empapada que llegaras con rosas
(yes, a thousand roses for me)(Si, mil rosas para mi)
because you know I love those things,Por que ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas
it doesn't matter if it's silly, that's how I am,Que no importa si es muy tonto soy así
and it still seems unbelievable that my life is slipping away,Y aun me parece mentira que se escape mi vida
imagining that you'll come back around here,Imaginando que vuelves a pasarte por aquí
where every Friday evening, as always, hope saysDonde los viernes cada tarde como siempre la esperanza dice
be still and maybe yesQuieta y quizá si

And I start to think,Y es que empiezo a pensar
that true love is only the first one,Que el amor verdadero es tan solo el primero
and I start to suspect,Y que empiezo a sospechar
that the others are just to forgetQue los demás, son solo para olvidar

That's why I was waiting, with a tear-stained face, for you to arrive with rosesPor eso esperaba, con la carita empapada que llegaras con rosas
(yes, a thousand roses for me)(Si, mil rosas para mi)
because you know I love those things,Por que ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas
it doesn't matter if it's silly, that's how I am,Que no importa si es muy tonto soy así
and it still seems unbelievable that my life is slipping away,Y aun me parece mentira que se escape mi vida
imagining that you'll come back around here,Imaginando que vuelves a pasarte por aquí
where every Friday evening, as always, hope saysDonde los viernes cada tarde como siempre la esperanza dice
be still and maybe yesQuieta y quizá si
