Lyrics : La Oreja de Van Gogh- Rosas

Spanish	English
En un día de estos en que suelo pensar	On one of these days when I tend to think
Hoy va a ser el día menos pensado	“Today will be the day least thought about,”
Nos hemos cruzado, has decidido mirar	We passed by each other, you decided to look
A los ojitos azules que ahora van a tu lado	Into the little blue eyes now going by next to you
Desde el momento en el que te conocí	From the moment I met you
Resumiendo con prisas tiempo de silencio	To quickly sum up Time of Silence
Te juro que a nadie le he vuelto a decir	I swear to you I haven’t again said to anyone else
Que tenemos el récord del mundo en querernos	That we hold the world record for loving each other.
Por eso esperaba con la carita empapada	That’s why I waited with my little face soaked
A que llegaras con rosas, con mil rosas para mí	For you to arrive with roses, with a thousand roses for me,
Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas	Because you know I love those things
Que no importa si es muy tonto, soy así	No matter how silly; that’s how I am.
Y aún me parece mentira que se escape mi vida	And I still can’t believe that my life should escape by
Imaginando que vuelves a pasarte por aquí	Imagining you will come around here
Donde los viernes cada tarde, como siempre	Where every Friday afternoon, as always,
La esperanza dice quieta, hoy quizás sí	Hope says “be still, perhaps today is the day”
Escapando una noche de un bostezo de sol	Escaping one night from a yawn of the sun
Me pediste que te diera un beso	You asked me to give you a kiss.
Con lo baratos que salen mi amor	My love being so inexpensive,
Qué te cuesta callarme con uno de esos	What would it cost you to shut me up with one of those
Pasaron seis meses y me dijiste adiós	Six months passed and you said goodbye,
Un placer coincidir en esta vida	A pleasure coming together in this life.
Allí me quedé, en una mano el corazón	There I stood, my heart in one hand,
Y en la otra excusas que ni tú entendías	And in the other excuses that not even you could understand.
Y es que empiezo a pensar	And the thing is I am starting to think
Que el amor verdadero es tan sólo el primero	That true love happens only the first time.
Y es que empiezo a sospechar	And the thing is I am starting to suspect
Que los demás son sólo para olvidar	That the others are only to forget.
