Es Sábado en la noche
It's Saturday night
y como siempre
and as always
llegue a la discoteca
I arrived at the club
a eso de la diez
around ten
a donde nos sentábamos a veces
to where we sometimes sat
habían dos amantes de primera vez
there were two lovers for the first time
el como yo bebía un trago fuerte
he, like me, was drinking a strong drink
ella era luna igual que tu
she was like the moon, just like you
era una escena repetida
it was a familiar scene
era una toma conocida
it was a well-known shot
era una foto sin nosotros
it was a photo without us
como ayer
like yesterday
La tanda de baladas como siempre
The set of ballads, as always
hizo bajar la luz de intensidad
dimmed the light's intensity
sus sombras se perdieron en la gente
their shadows got lost in the crowd
sus cuerpos empezaron a soñar
their bodies began to dream
(a soñar)
(to dream)
como ayer
like yesterday
(como ayer)
(like yesterday)
a soñar
to dream
(a soñar)
(to dream)
como ayer
like yesterday
como ayer
like yesterday
mi alma se encendió como un neón
my soul ignited like a neon light
mis ojos se perdieron como luz
my eyes got lost like light
tu boca era una luna rota en dos
your mouth was a moon broken in two
tu cuerpo una guitarra de pasión
your body a guitar of passion
como ayer
like yesterday
como ayer
like yesterday
como ayer
like yesterday
tu frente era una estrella que atrape
your forehead was a star that I caught
la luz de tu cintura me envolvió
the light of your waist wrapped around me
tu mano es una red donde caí
your hand is a net where I fell
tus besos desnudaban a mi piel
your kisses stripped my skin bare
como ayer
like yesterday
como ayer
like yesterday
como ayer
like yesterday
como ayer
like yesterday
(Era una foto sin nosotros como ayer
(It was a photo without us like yesterday
ay como ayer)
oh, like yesterday)
donde nos sentábamos a veces
where we used to sit sometimes
hoy hay dos amantes de primera vez /
today there are two lovers for the first time /
(Era una foto sin nosotros como ayer)
(It was a picture without us like yesterday)
y me recuerda a ti
and it reminds me of you
(ay como ayer)
(oh like yesterday)
como se reia como se miraban
how they laughed, how they looked at each other
cuanto se adoraban en cada beso /
how much they adored each other in every kiss /
(Era una foto sin nosotros como ayer
(It was a picture without us like yesterday
ay como ayer)
oh like yesterday)
nuestra escena como ayer

hoy la siento cerca de mi
today I feel her close to me
me recuerda que quiero olvidarte
