Por Si Vinieras

In Case You Come By

Por Si Vinieras

In case you come by to see mePor si vinieras a verme
I shave earlyMe afeito temprano
I put on that perfumeMe pongo ese perfume
That smells like summersQue huele a los veranos
When I held you in my armsCuando en brazos te cargué

In case you come by to see mePor si vinieras a verme
I wear that shirtMe pongo esa camisa
That you gave meQue tú me regalaste
When there were no rushesCuando no había prisas
No before or afterNi un antes ni un después

I put on that tieMe pongo esa corbata
That’s already out of styleQue ya pasó de moda
Just like me tooComo yo también

And if you don’t comeY si no vienes
I’m kept company at homeMe acompañan en mi casa
By those books and those storiesEsos libros y esos cuentos
That I read to you so muchQue tanto te leí
And if you don’t comeY si no vienes
I arrange on the shelfAcomodo en la repisa
The toys I gave youLos juguetes que te daba
That made you so happyY te hacían tan feliz
In case you come byPor si vinieras

In case you come by to see mePor si vinieras a verme
I wait for you in the living roomTe espero en la sala
And I listen to the songsY escucho las canciones
That you loved so muchQue tanto te gustaban
When you were a babyCuando eras un bebé

In case you come by to see mePor si vinieras a verme
And even though I know it’s not the sameY aunque sé que no es lo mismo
I picture you as a childTe imagino como un niño
Who enjoys my affectionQue disfruta mi cariño
And who will never grow upY que nunca va a crecer

I put on that tieMe pongo esa corbata
That’s already out of styleQue ya pasó de moda
Just like me tooComo yo también

And if you don’t comeY si no vienes
I’m kept company at homeMe acompañan en mi casa
By those books and those storiesEsos libros y esos cuentos
That I read to you so muchQue tanto te leí
And if you don’t comeY si no vienes
I arrange on the shelfAcomodo en la repisa
The toys I gave youLos juguetes que te daba
That made you so happyY te hacían tan feliz

And don’t feel badY no te sientas mal
It’s not to blame youNo es para reprocharte
It’s to tell you that I’m always readyEs para decirte que siempre estoy listo
In case you come byPor si vinieras

And if you don’t comeY si no vienes
I’m kept company at homeMe acompañan en mi casa
By those books and those storiesEsos libros y esos cuentos
That I read to you so muchQue tanto te leí
And if you don’t comeY si no vienes
I arrange on the shelfAcomodo en la repisa
The toys I gave youLos juguetes que te daba
That made you so happyY te hacían tan feliz
In case you come byPor si vinieras
In case you come byPor si vinieras
