Translation

De niño, te conocí

I knew you as a child

entre mis sueños queridos.

among my cherished dreams.

Por eso cuando te vi

That's why when I saw you

reconocí mi destino.

I recognized my destiny.

Cuando pensaba que ya no iba a ser,

When I thought it wouldn't happen,

lo que soñara de pronto, vino.

what I had dreamed suddenly came.


Tanto que yo te busqué

So much that I searched for you

y tanto que no te hallaba,

and so much that I couldn't find you,

que al cabo me acostumbré

that eventually I got used

a andar con tanto de nada.

to walking with so much of nothing.

Cuánto nos puede curar el amor,

How much love can heal us,

cuánto renace de tu mirada.

how much is reborn from your gaze.


Te conozco,

I know you,

te conozco desde siempre, desde lejos

I know you forever, from afar

Te conozco,

I know you,

te conozco como a un sueño bueno y viejo.

like a good and old dream.

Es por eso que te toco y te conozco.

That's why I touch you and know you.


El lago parece mar,

The lake seems like the sea,

el viento sirve de abrigo:

the wind serves as a shelter:

Todo se vuelve a inventar

Everything becomes new

si lo comparto contigo.

if I share it with you.

La única prisa es la del corazón

The only hurry is that of the heart,

la única ofensa, tener testigos.

the only offense, having witnesses.


Te conozco,

I know you,

te conozco desde siempre, desde lejos

I know you forever, from afar

Te conozco,

I know you,

te conozco como a un sueño bueno y viejo.

like a good and old dream.

Es por eso que te toco y te conozco.

That's why I touch you and know you.

Te conozco

I know you
