Lyrics

Estaba dejándome estar, oyendo el tiempo caer en los relojes de arena
Mirando un instante partir y otro llegar, pensando en tu amor
Tu amor que viene y que va, siguiendo las estaciones
Tu amor es causa y efecto de mis canciones
La vida cabe en un clic, en un abrir y cerrar, en cualquier copo de avena
Se trata de distinguir lo que vale de lo que no vale la pena
Y a mí me vale con que me des poco más que nada
A mí me basta con una de tus miradas
Pensando, estaba pensando, por la ventana de aquel bar
Mirando a la gente afuera ir y venir y juraría que te vi
Juraría que te vi
Juraría que te vi
Estaba dejándome estar, oyendo el tiempo caer en los relojes de arena
Mirando un instante partir y otro llegar, pensando en tu amor
Tu amor que viene y que va, siguiendo las estaciones
Tu amor es causa y efecto de mis canciones
Pensando, estaba pensando, por la ventana de aquel bar
Mirando a la gente afuera ir y venir y juraría que te vi
Juraría que te vi
Juraría que te vi
Pensando, estaba pensando, por la ventana de aquel bar
Mirando a la gente afuera ir y venir y juraría que te vi
Juraría que te vi
Juraría que te vi
Aunque sé que estás a un año luz de mí

Lyrics translation

I was letting myself be, hearing the time fall in the hourglasses
Looking for an instant to leave and another to arrive, thinking of your love
Your love that comes and goes, following the seasons
Your love is cause and effect of my songs
Life fits in a click, in the blink of an eye, in any Flake of oats
It's about distinguishing what's worth from what's not worth
And I'm okay with you giving me little more than nothing
One of your looks is enough for me
Thinking, I was thinking, out the window of that bar
Watching the people outside come and go and I swear I saw you
I'd swear I saw you.
I'd swear I saw you.
I was letting myself be, hearing the time fall in the hourglasses
Looking for an instant to leave and another to arrive, thinking of your love
Your love that comes and goes, following the seasons
Your love is cause and effect of my songs
Thinking, I was thinking, out the window of that bar
Watching the people outside come and go and I swear I saw you
I'd swear I saw you.
I'd swear I saw you.
Thinking, I was thinking, out the window of that bar
Watching the people outside come and go and I swear I saw you
I'd swear I saw you.
I'd swear I saw you.
Although I know you're a light year away from me
