Translation

Te vi, juntabas margaritas del mantel

I saw you, picking daisies from the tablecloth

Ya sé que te traté bastante mal

I know I treated you quite badly

No sé si eras un ángel o un rubí

I don't know if you were an angel or a ruby

O simplemente te vi

Or if I simply saw you


Te vi, saliste entre la gente a saludar

I saw you, emerging from the crowd to wave

Los astros se rieron otra vez

The stars laughed once again

La llave de mandala se quebró

The key to the mandala broke

O simplemente te vi

Or if I simply saw you


Todo lo que diga está de más

Anything I say is unnecessary

Las luces siempre encienden en el alma

The lights always illuminate the soul

Y cuando me pierdo en la ciudad

And when I get lost in the city

Vos ya sabés comprender

You already know how to understand


Es solo un rato, no más

It's just a while, nothing more

Tendría que llorar o salir a matar

I would have to cry or go out to kill

Te vi, te vi, te vi

I saw you, I saw you, I saw you

Yo no buscaba nadie y te vi

I wasn't looking for anyone, and I saw you


Te vi, fumabas unos chinos en Madrid

I saw you, smoking some Chinese in Madrid

Hay cosas que te ayudan a vivir

There are things that help you live

No hacías otra cosa que escribir

You did nothing but write

Y yo simplemente te vi

And I simply saw you


Me fui, me voy, de vez en cuando, a algún lugar

I left, I go, from time to time, to some place

Ya sé, no te hace gracia este país

I know, you don't like this country

Tenías un vestido y un amor

You had a dress and a love

Yo simplemente te vi

I simply saw you


Todo lo que diga está de más

Anything I say is unnecessary

Las luces siempre encienden en el alma

The lights always illuminate the soul

Y cuando me pierdo en la ciudad

And when I get lost in the city

Vos ya sabés comprender

You already know how to understand


Es solo un rato, no más

It's just a while, nothing more

Tendría que llorar o salir a matar

I would have to cry or go out to kill

Te vi, te vi, te vi

I saw you, I saw you, I saw you

Yo no buscaba nadie y te vi

I wasn't looking for anyone, and I saw you


Te vi, te vi, te vi

I saw you, I saw you, I saw you

Yo no buscaba nadie y te vi

I wasn't looking for anyone, and I saw you
