Te Vi en la Selva

Great Lake Swimmers

I Saw You In The Wild

I saw you in the wild
i saw you in the wild
i saw you in the wild
i knew you in the wild

you were nervous, you were furious
you were very sure-footed
dreams and intentions
full of wonder and amazement(?)
the fire in your eyes
you were in your disguise
you were haunted you were hollow
you could not see tomorrow

in the wild,
i saw you in the wild
i saw you in the wild
i knew you in the wild

in the books, in the trees
you were spreading your own needs(?)
and their hats all went off to you
they were trying to show respect for you
i was riddled with worry
you were all in a hurry
crystallized mess of things
there was a fear in it and all a great(?)

in the wild,
i saw you in the wild
i saw you in the wild
i knew you in the wild

holding onto high ideals
living incongruously
you were there among the leaves
your needs were directing you
and the wilderness, it spoke to you
they were threatened to choke you
you were always aware
you could sense that i was there

in the wild,
i saw you in the wild
i saw you in the wild
i knew you in the wild

i could tell by your look
you came from a book
and i read many times
all your funniest(?) lines
and the branches with the sages
i turned all the pages
we were two sets of eyes
two fires burning behind

in the wild,
i saw you in the wild
i saw you in the wild
i knew you in the wild

Te Vi en la Selva

Te vi en la selva
Te vi en la selva
Te vi en la selva
Te conocí en la selva

Estabas nervioso, estabas furioso
tenías mucha seguridad en tus pasos
sueños e intenciones
llenos de asombro y admiración
el fuego en tus ojos
estabas en tu disfraz
estabas atormentado, estabas vacío
no podías ver el mañana

en la selva,
te vi en la selva
Te vi en la selva
Te conocí en la selva

en los libros, en los árboles
te estabas satisfaciendo tus propias necesidades
y todos se quitaban el sombrero ante ti
intentaban mostrarte respeto
yo estaba lleno de preocupación
tú estabas siempre apurado
un enredo cristalizado de cosas
había un miedo en ello y todo un gran

en la selva,
te vi en la selva
Te vi en la selva
Te conocí en la selva

aferrándote a ideales elevados
viviendo incongruentemente
estabas allí entre las hojas
tus necesidades te dirigían
y la naturaleza salvaje, te hablaba
amenazaba con ahogarte
siempre estabas alerta
podías sentir que yo estaba allí

en la selva,
te vi en la selva
Te vi en la selva
Te conocí en la selva

podía decir por tu mirada
que venías de un libro
y leí muchas veces
todas tus líneas más divertidas
y las ramas con los sabios
pasé todas las páginas
éramos dos pares de ojos
dos fuegos ardiendo detrás

en la selva,
te vi en la selva
Te vi en la selva
Te conocí en la selva
