Te Ví Pasar

I Saw You Pass By

Te Ví Pasar

I saw you pass by and once again time stood stillTe vi pasar y otra vez el tiempo se detuvo
It was that blush that changed my moodFue aquel rubor que me cambió el humor
It left me speechlessMe dejó mudo
While naked, I close my eyes to your eyesMientras desnudo tu ojos cierro los míos
And with an imperfect sigh, I think that you are the perfection I aspire toY con un imperfecto suspiro pienso que tú eres la perfección a la que aspiro
And I still rave and lose my composure every time you comeY aun deliro y pierdo los papeles cada vez que vienes
And you get closer, although never close enough to smell how you smellY te acercas, aunque nunca tanto como para sentir como hueles
And your taste, your taste is the greatest utopiaY tu sabor, tu sabor es la mayor utopía
I remain in oblivion thinking that somedayMe quedo en la inopia pensando que algún día
I could conquer you with my poetryTe podría conquistar con mi poesía
I haven't seen you smile yet, I would inventAun no te he visto sonreír, inventaría
A comedy with a golden curtainUna comedia con telón de oro
I haven't heard you speak yet, how much I would giveAun no te he oído hablar, cuanto daría
For just a whisper, poor foolPor un susurro tan solo, pobre bobo
Deluded by illusionIluso que de ilusión de desvive
Begging silently for you to turn aroundQue pide a gritos silenciosos que te gires
To look at me and know that I'm hereQue me mires y que sepas que aquí estoy
Like an eternal after, waiting for a gesture from youComo un eterno después, esperando un gesto tuyo
To put myself at your feetPara ponerme a tus pies
And upon seeing you pass byY es que al verte pasar
The sweetness in my palate tells me you're going to stopEl dulce en mi paladar me dices que vas a parar
But I end up swallowing bitterness when, however, you continuePero acabo tragando amargo, cuando sin embargo sigues
And pass byY pasas de largo
I saw you pass byTe vi pasar
I want to know, what do you dream about?Quiero saber ¿con que sueñas?
What excites you?¿Que te excita?
What torments you? What irritates you?¿Que te atormenta? ¿Que te irrita?
What does life give you? I want to know, what takes from you?¿Que te regala la vida? Quiero saber ¿que te quita?
How is it possible that so much crying leaves my pillow so dry?¿Como es posible que tanto llanto deje tan seca mi almohada?
How is it possible to love so much? Barely knowing anything about you¿Como es posible amar tanto? Sin apenas saber nada, de tí
How is it possible for me to forget to think just to feel?¿Como es posible que me olvide de pensar para solo sentir?
How is it possible that something as beautiful as you can exist?¿Como es posible que algo tan bello como tú, pueda existir?
And as I blindly follow you, I know your light feeds meY mientras te sigo a tientas sé que tu luz me alimenta
That your mere presence is a mix of absence and growthQue tu sola presencia es una mezcla de ausencia y aumenta
That your memory turns me into a master of origamiQue tu recuerdo me hace un mago de la papiroflexia
Trying to define how you light upIntentando definir como te iluminas
How you blur the rest of the galaxy and numb itComo difuminas al resto de la galaxia y la anestesias
And there's only youY solo estas tú
You, elegant and absentTú, elegante y ausente
Unaware of having revived every corner of my mindSin ser consciente de haber reverdecido cada rincón de mi mente
You, walking indifferentlyTú, andando indiferente
Causing people to be like inert statuesHaciendo que la gente sea como estatuas inertes
In the face of the life you emitAnte la vida que desprendes
And I've never had you and if you're not here, I miss youY es que nunca te he tenido y si no estás te hecho de menos
It's this blessed poisonEs este veneno bendito
It's the madness I inhabitEs la locura que habito
It makes me want to be good, I would be more so between your breastsMe hace querer ser bueno lo sería mas entre tus senos
Impossible like the skyImposibles como el cielo
Unattainable like the pastInalcanzables como el pasado
Distant like death when I dream of you by my sideLejanos como la muerte cuando te sueño a mi lado
I saw you pass byTe vi pasar
