Canela En Rama

I, who never knew how to arrive on timeYo que nunca supe llegar a mi hora
Today I stayed waiting for youHoy me quedé esperándote
And even though my eye doctor saysY aunque diga mi oculista
That my vision is very badQue tengo muy mal la vista
Today I stayed looking at youHoy me quedé mirándote

And despite the fact that insomnia keeps me awake every nightY pese a que el insomnio me desvela cada noche
Today I stayed dreaming of youHoy me quedé; soñándote

I, who talk a lotYo que hablo hasta debajo del agua
Today I caught myself listening to youHoy me sorprendí escuchándote
And even though I've always been a cowardY aunque de puro cobarde
I've always been a pacifistSiempre he sido pacifista
Today I fought youHoy te luché
And I wonY te gané

I, who have always kept my distanceYo, que siempre he sido de poner tierra por medio
Today I saw you, and I stayedHoy te vi, y me quedé

Although I'm allergic to flannel, I stayed in your bedAunque soy alérgico a la franela me quedé en tu cama
My curtains don't match your liningsNo combinan mis cortinas con tus entretelas
And yet today I cook in your kitchen, my loveY aún así hoy cocino en tu cocina, corazón

Today I cook in your kitchen, my loveHoy cocino en tu cocina, corazón

I, who have always been a night owlYo que siempre fui animal nocturno
Today I stay to watch the sunriseHoy me quedo a ver amanecer
And I, who have always been a rockerY yo que siempre fui rockero
Today I sing to you with bolerosHoy te canto por boleros
Oh, if you tell me to comeAy, si tú me dices ven

I, who have always avoided trendsYo que siempre he huido de las modas
Today I wear ready-to-wearHoy visto pret a porter
It's the things of lifeSon las cosas de la vida
It's the things of loveSon las cosas del querer
I came for a visitYo venía de visita
I came for a visit and I stayedYo venía de visita y me quedé

Although I'm allergic to flannel, I stayed in your bedAunque soy alérgico a la franela me quedé en tu cama
My curtains don't match your liningsNo combinan mis cortinas con tus entretelas
And yet today I cook in your kitchen, my loveY aún así hoy cocino en tu cocina, corazón
