Novios Cruzados

Today I still remember the day you came to the neighborhoodHoy recuerdo todavía el día en que llegaste al barrio
And since you weren't from my world, I started looking for another pathY como no eras de mi mundo otro rumbo fui buscando
After a year, I managed to be your great friendDespués de pasar un año logré ser tu gran amigo

And since you were my confidant, I didn't want anything with youY como eras mi confidente no quería nada contigo
Then some time passedLuego pasó un rato
And you told me that in the block someone caught your eyeY me dijiste que en la cuadra alguien te gustaba
It was the new guy moving into the neighborhoodEra el muchacho nuevo que en el barrio se mudaba
I never felt jealous at any momentNo llegué a sentir celos en ningún momento

And on my sideY yo por otro lado
I was hoping you'd help me with your friendPendiente que con tu amiga me ayudaras
Even though I had other loves to keep me companyAunque tenía otros amores que me acompañaran
And today I swear I regret all of thatY hoy de todo eso te juro que me arrepiento

I also remember that my best friendTambién recuerdo que mi mejor amigo
Wanted to be your boyfriend, but you didn't want himQuería ser tu novio pero tú de él no
And I, being crazy, helped him win your heartY yo de loco le ayudé a que tu cariño
So he could have you and keep your loveFuera de él y se quedara con tu amor

And I was with your best friendY yo con tu mejor amiga
Putting up with the pain that hurt meAguantando los precios que me hería
And you doing anything to maintainY tú haciendo cualquier cosa por mantener
The love you felt for herEl amor que por ella sentía

And how life goesY como es la vida
After some time, I stopped talking to youDespués de que pasó un tiempo te dejé de hablar
Because one day I spoke to you badly over the phonePor qué un día por teléfono te hablé muy mal
We were crossed loversÉramos los novios cruzados
I mean, you with him and me with herO sea tú con él y yo con ella
We were both wrongEstábamos equivocados
I mean, you with him and me with herO sea tú con él y yo con ella
We were crossed loversÉramos novios cruzados

Several weeks passed, and things started changingPasaron varias semanas y las cosas fueron cambiando
My friend wanted your friend, and we hadn't noticedMi amigo quería tu amiga y no lo habíamos notado
After everything came to light, you started leaving himDespués que todo se supo tú lo fuiste abandonando
And I did the same; I wasn't in love anymoreY yo también hice lo mismo ya no estaba enamorado

Then you talked to meY luego tú me hablaste
You wanted to be my friend again, that’s what you decidedQuerías volver a ser mi amiga eso decidiste
And you said you wanted to be my girlfriend, you told someoneY que querías ser mi novia a alguien le dijiste
Little by little, you started falling for mePoquito a poco te fuiste enamorando
Three months passedPasaron tres meses
And we were both more than just into each otherY ya los dos andábamos más que tragados

It was the most beautiful thing that had happened to usEra los más bello que nos había pasado
And slowly, I began to forget my pastY lentamente fui olvidando mi pasado
For you, I've changed more than you can imaginePor ti he cambiado como tú no lo imaginas
I've let go of those extra loves I hadYa dejé esos amores que tenía de más

And the most beautiful thing is that you own my lifeY lo más bello es que eres dueña de mi vida
And that you love me even if they don't accept the truthY que me amas aunque no acepten la verdad
Between you and me, nothing has changedEntre tú y yo nada ha cambiado
You still are my best friendTu sigues siendo mi mejor amiga

With one difference: you give me your kissesCon una diferencia que me das tus besos
And your eyes dominate meY que tus ojos me dominan
Thank you for being by my sideGracias por estar a mi lado
And sharing your dreams with meY compartir tus sueños conmigo

For being the light that has now illuminated mePor ser la luz que ahora me ha iluminado
And because we are no longer crossed loversY porque ya no somos novios cruzados
I mean, you with him and me with herO sea tú con él y yo con ella
We were both wrongEstábamos equivocados
I mean, you with him and me with herÓsea tu con el y yo con ella
We were crossed loversÉramos novios cruzados
