Te Vi

I Saw You

Te Vi

How beautiful you are, there in the kitchenQué bonita estás, ahí en la cocina
A little slower, with your hands brokenUn poco más lenta, con las manos partidas
When you hugged me, I became your little girl againCuando me abrazaste volví a ser tu niña
And now in your arms, I make resentment a lost causeY ahora entre tus brazos hago del rencor una causa perdida
Sometimes you shouted, sometimes you hitA veces gritabas, a veces golpeabas
But you, mommy, were so lonelyPero tú, mamita, estabas tan solita
And you knew how to give me what you didn't haveY supiste darme lo que no tenías
I saw you cry because there was no bread to keep us aliveYo te vi llorar porque faltaba el pan pa' mantenernos vivas

And now that I'm hereY hoy que estoy aquí
I saw you, I saw you, I saw youTe vi, te vi, te vi
So repentant and so tiredTan arrepentida y tan cansada
Of carrying your cross and in that wounded heartDe llevar tu cruz y en ese herido corazón
I have no doubt that you loved meNo me cabe duda que me amabas

I saw you, I saw you, I saw youTe vi, te vi, te vi
And at the same time I saw myself in your eyesY a la vez me vi en tu mirada
And I embraced that cross and this wounded heartY abracé esa cruz y este herido corazón
Today I want to tell you that I love youHoy quiere decirte que te ama
When I lived inside your bellyCuando yo vivía dentro de tu panza
You didn't know me and you were already singing to meNo me conocías y ya me cantabas
I learned to understand you all these yearsYo aprendí a entenderte todos estos años
Life is so short that we don't deserve to hurt each other moreLa vida es tan corta que no merecemos hacernos más daño

And now that I'm hereY hoy que estoy aquí
I saw you, I saw you, I saw youTe vi, te vi, te vi
So repentant and so tiredTan arrepentida y tan cansada
Of carrying your cross and in that wounded heartDe llevar tu cruz y en ese herido corazón
I have no doubt that you loved meNo me cabe duda que me amabas

I saw you, I saw you, I saw youTe vi, te vi, te vi
And at the same time I saw myself in your eyesY a la vez me vi en tu mirada
And I embraced that cross and this wounded heartY abracé esa cruz y este herido corazón
Today wants to say, today wants to tell you that it loves youHoy quiere decir, hoy quiere decirte que te ama
