Una Historia Importante

A thousand excuses I have invented todayMil excusas me he inventado hoy
A thousand excuses but in my own wayMil excusas pero al modo mío
Avoiding myselfEvitándome así
An important storyUna historia importante
I don't know how to boastYo no sé presumir
Or feel very bigNi sentirme muy grande

How many people I know?¿Cuánta gente conocida mía?
How many stories, how much company?¿Cuántos cuentos, cuánta compañía?
But I still thinkPero pienso que aún
An important storyUna historia importante
Maybe it's youPuede que seas tú
Just youTan solo tú

Stop for a momentPárate un instante
Speak clearlyHabla claro
As only you know howComo solo sabes tú
Tell me who you areDime quién eres tú

I don't dare to free myselfNo me atrevo a liberarme
And my life gets complicated like thisY mi vida se complica así
How will I love you?¿Cómo te querré?
How much will I love you?¿Cuánto te querré?

I open my arms wide, I welcome you hereAbro bien los brazos te recibo aquí
(But a dream takes me far away)(Pero un sueño me lleva lejos)
While you want to defend yourself from meMientras tú te quieres defender de mí
(Your caution is also mine)(Tu prudencia es también la mía)
Maybe we still have to growPues tal vez tenemos que crecer aún
(They are excuses, they are evasions)(Son excusas, son evasivas)
If I look for you, you hideSi te busco, tú te escondes
Then you come backLuego vuelves

Stop for a momentPárate un instante
Speak clearlyHabla claro
As only you know howComo solo sabes tú
Tell me who you areDime quién eres tú
I don't dare to free myselfNo me atrevo a liberarme
And my life gets complicated like thisY mi vida se complica así
How will I love you?¿Cómo te querré?
How much will I love you?¿Cuánto te querré?
