Lyrics

Yo sería farolero
Si tú te hicieras farola
Que me espera por las noches
Encendida pero sola
Yo sería barrendero
Si tú te hicieras escoba
Para tomarte en mis manos
Y barrer juntos la alcoba
En cambio tú me ves y nada
Y pasa un día y pasa un mes
Y es que la suerte estaba echada
Las cosas salen al revés
Y ya lo ves pasan los años
Dejando huellas al pasar
Nuestro amor es imposible
Yo soy pez de río
Tú eres pez de mar
Yo sería barrenero
Si tú te volvieras roca
Para abrir alguna brecha
Y llegar hasta tu boca
Yo sería relojero
Si tú te volvieras hora
Aunque tiene mal arreglo
Lo que el tiempo no perdona
En cambio tú me ves y nada
Y pasa un día y pasa un mes
Y es que la suerte estaba echada
Las cosas salen al revés
Y ya lo ves pasan los años
Dejando huellas al pasar
Nuestro amor es imposible
Yo soy pez de río
Tú eres pez de mar
Yo sería marinero
Si tú te hicieras gaviota
Pero tú no quieres alas
Y mi barca ya no flota
Yo sería curandero
Si tú te volvieras droga
Para curar éste mal
Que al pensar en ti me ahoga
En cambio tú me ves y nada
Y pasa un día y pasa un mes
Y es que la suerte estaba echada
Las cosas salen al revés
Y ya lo ves pasan los años
Dejando huellas al pasar
Nuestro amor es imposible
Yo soy pez de río
Tú eres pez de mar

Lyrics translation

I'd be a lamppost.
If you were a street lamp
Waiting for me at night
Lit but alone
I'd be a sweeper.
If you made a broom
To take you into my hands
And sweep the bedroom together
But you see me and nothing
And a day passes and a month passes
And it is that Luck was cast
Things go the other way.
And you see the years go by
Leaving footprints as we pass by
Our love is impossible
I'm a river fish.
You're a sea fish.
I'd be a sweeper.
If you turned rock
To open some loophole
And get to your mouth
I'd be a watchmaker.
If you'd come back time
Although it has a bad arrangement
What time does not forgive
But you see me and nothing
And a day passes and a month passes
And it is that Luck was cast
Things go the other way.
And you see the years go by
Leaving footprints as we pass by
Our love is impossible
I'm a river fish.
You're a sea fish.
I'd be a sailor.
If you became a seagull
But you don't want wings
And my boat no longer floats
I would be a healer
If you were to become a dope
To cure this evil
That when I think of you it drowns me
But you see me and nothing
And a day passes and a month passes
And it is that Luck was cast
Things go the other way.
And you see the years go by
Leaving footprints as we pass by
Our love is impossible
I'm a river fish.
You're a sea fish.
