Lyrics

Translation

Estaba dejándome estar

I was letting myself be

Oyendo el tiempo caer en los relojes de arena

Listening to time fall in the hourglasses

Mirando un instante partir

Watching a moment leave

Y otro llegar

And another one arrive

Pensando en tu amor

Thinking about your love

Tu amor que viene y que va

Your love that comes and goes

Siguiendo las estaciones

Following the seasons

Tu amor es causa y efecto de mis canciones

Your love is the cause and effect of my songs


La vida cabe en un clic

Life fits in a click

En un abrir y cerrar

In the blink of an eye

En cualquier copo de avena

In any oatmeal flake

Se trata de distinguir

It's about distinguishing

Lo que vale de lo que no vale la pena

What's worth it from what's not worth it

Y a mí me vale con que me des

And for me, it's enough if you give me

Poco más que nada

Little more than nothing

A mí me basta con una de tus miradas

For me, it's enough with one of your glances

(Pensando, estaba pensando

(Thinking, I was thinking

Por la ventana de aquel bar

Through the window of that bar

Mirando a la gente afuera

Watching people outside

Ir y venir

Come and go

Y juraría que te vi)

And I would swear I saw you)


Estaba dejándome estar

I was letting myself be

Oyendo el tiempo caer en los relojes de arena

Listening to time fall in the hourglasses

Mirando un instante partir

Watching a moment leave

Y otro llegar

And another one arrive

Pensando en tu amor

Thinking about your love

Tu amor que viene y que va

Your love that comes and goes

Siguiendo las estaciones

Following the seasons

Tu amor es causa y efecto de mis canciones

Your love is the cause and effect of my songs


(Pensando, estaba pensando

(Thinking, I was thinking

Por la ventana de aquel bar

Through the window of that bar

Mirando a la gente afuera

Watching people outside

Ir y venir

Come and go

Y juraría que te vi

And I would swear I saw you

Aunque sé que estás

Even though I know you're

A un año luz de mí

Light-years away from me
