Lyrics
Podria ahora contarte y sentir
que se me caía el mundo,
y pensé en quedarme descalza
en la cama esperando a que vuelvas,
sin salir del portal.
Podría ahora contarte que pasaba tardes
mirando al espejo estudiando los gestos,
por si te cruzabas, poder disimular.
Podría ahora contarte que me concentraba,
para poder mirarte a la cara mientras respiraba.
Y sin saber perdí poco a poco las ganas de verme.
y mientras a mí la vida se me fue,
y ya no supe casi por donde volver,
el mundo en cambio fue girando y yo,
tratando de esquivarlo hasta que hubo que despegar,
costó, tanto como para no girarme y mirar atrás,
pensar que lo que fue ya nunca volverá,
y lo que vendrá viene tan despacio.
Y luego decirte que después, cuando ya pasó el tiempo,
y tras escuchar centenas de consejos
que alguna vez yo también pronuncié.
Aquello tan grande se volvió pequeño,
y que pena daba ver que se acababa,
aquello que para siempre iba a durar.
Podría ahora contarte que me concentraba,
para poder mirarte a la cara mientras respiraba.
Y sin saber perdí poco a poco las ganas de verme
Y ahora que la vida se ha vuelto más grande,
y en medio del mundo ya no eres gigante,
ahora que he logrado ver el mundo desde otro lado,
te puedo contar que recuerdo a diario,
tu cara, tu cuerpo y el mundo cantando,
pero ahora soy yo quien prefiere agarrarse a mi mano
Y mientras a mí la vida se me fue,
y ya no supe casi por dónde volver,
el mundo en cambio fue girando y yo,
tratando de esquivarlo hasta que hubo que despegar,
costó, tanto como para no girarme y mirar atrás,
pensar que lo que fue ya nunca volverá,
y lo que vendrá viene tan despacio
Y lo que vendrá viene tan despacio
Tan despacio
Tan despacio
(Gracias a Francisco por esta letra)
Lyrics translation
I could tell you now and feel
that I was dropping the world,
and I thought I'd stay barefoot
in bed waiting for you to come back,
without leaving the portal.
I could tell you now that I was late.
looking in the mirror studying gestures,
in case you came across, you could cover it up.
I could tell you now that I was concentrating,
so I could look you in the face while I was breathing.
And without knowing it, I gradually lost the desire to see myself.
and while life was gone for me,
and I almost didn't know where to go,
the world was turning instead and I,
trying to dodge it until it had to take off,
it cost so much that I didn't turn around and look back,
to think that what it was will never come back,
and what will come comes so slowly.
And then tell you that later, when the time has already passed,
and after listening to hundreds of tips
that I once pronounced, too.
That big thing became small,
and what a pity to see that it was over,
that which would last forever.
I could tell you now that I was concentrating,
so I could look you in the face while I was breathing.
And without knowing I gradually lost the desire to see myself
And now that life has become bigger,
and in the middle of the world you're not giant anymore,
now that I've managed to see the world from the other side,
I can tell you what I remember every day,
your face, your body and the world singing,
but now it's me who prefers to hold on to my hand
And while life was gone for me,
and I almost didn't know where to go,
the world was turning instead and I,
trying to dodge it until it had to take off,
it cost so much that I didn't turn around and look back,
to think that what it was will never come back,
and what will come comes so slowly
And what will come comes so slowly
So slowly
So slowly
