El día que llegaste, no me lo esperé
The day you arrived, I didn't expect it
No estaba en busca de que aparecieras
I wasn't looking for you to appear
Pero de pronto, mientras conversamos
But suddenly, while we talked
Unos cuantos minutos me bastaron
A few minutes were enough for me
Sentí como si ya te conociera
I felt like I already knew you
De pronto resultaron cosas en común
Suddenly we found things in common
Y fuimos descubriendo las casualidades
And we were discovering the coincidences
El tiempo iba volando, se hizo tarde
Time flew by, it got late
Y las puertas del alma me tocaste
And you touched the doors of my soul
Jamás pensé volver a enamorarme
I never thought I'd fall in love again
Pero yo sé que te conozco de antes y estuve contigo
But I know I’ve known you before and I was with you
Esto no es normal
This isn’t normal
Es que yo sé que acaricié tus manos, que besé tus labios
It’s just that I know I caressed your hands, that I kissed your lips
Todo es tan real
Everything feels so real
Y es que yo siento que esto lo he vivido, tal vez de otra vida
And I feel like I've lived this before, maybe in another life
¿Cómo? No lo sé
How? I don’t know
Pero que hoy estemos juntos tiene su razón de ser
But the fact that we're together today has its reason for being
Contar con tu presencia me llena de paz
Having you here fills me with peace
Y leo tu corazón igual que un libro abierto
And I read your heart just like an open book
Hay algo que me grita desde adentro
There’s something screaming inside me
Que nuestra historia tuvo su comienzo
That our story had its beginning
Y hoy solo repetimos el momento
And today we just repeat the moment
Porque yo sé que te conozco de antes y estuve contigo
Because I know I've known you before and I've been with you
Esto no es normal
This isn't normal
Y es que yo sé que acaricié tus manos, que besé tus labios
And it's that I know I caressed your hands, that I kissed your lips
Todo es tan real
Everything is so real
Y es que yo siento que esto lo he vivido, tal vez de otra vida
And it's that I feel like I've lived this, maybe from another life
¿Cómo? No lo sé
How? I don't know
Pero que hoy estemos juntos tiene su razón
But the fact that we're together today has its reason
Es que yo sé
It's that I know
Yo sé
I know
Es que yo siento que esto lo he vivido tal vez de otra vida
It's just that I feel I've lived this, maybe in another life
¿Cómo? No lo sé
How? I don't know
Pero que hoy estemos juntos tiene su razón de ser
But the fact that we're together today has its reason to be
Que hoy estemos juntos tiene su razón de ser
That we're together today has its reason to be
