Era el lunes de un febrero
It was a Monday in February
De un invierno de cristal
Of a crystal winter
¿Qué le pasa, caballero?
What's wrong, sir?
¿Alguien le quedó impuntual?
Did someone leave you waiting?
Tanto verde en esos ojos
So much green in those eyes
Debería ser ilegal
It should be illegal
Tú dijiste tres mentiras
You told three lies
Yo no dije una verdad
I didn't say a single truth
El reloj se fue de gira
The clock went on a tour
Quién sabe si volverá
Who knows if it will come back
Era un bar de la 14
It was a bar on 14th Street
Con canciones de Jacques Brel
With songs of Jacques Brel
Buscando una razón para estar vivo
Searching for a reason to be alive
Se me asomó tu falda aquella tarde azul
Your skirt appeared to me that blue afternoon
Y me esmeré en contarte todo lo que no había sucedido
And I made an effort to tell you everything that hadn't happened
Por no encontrarnos un millón de años atrás
For not finding each other a million years ago
Caminamos a mi hotel
We walked to my hotel
Fue la prisa de los besos
It was the rush of the kisses
Que empezó en el ascensor
That started in the elevator
Vi tu espalda en el espejo
I saw your back in the mirror
Con mis gotas de sudor
With my drops of sweat
Entre el piso tres y cuatro
Between the third and fourth floor
Puse stop al ascensor
I stopped the elevator
Buscando una razón para estar vivo
Looking for a reason to be alive
Se me asomó tu falda aquella tarde azul
Your skirt appeared to me that blue afternoon
Y me esmeré en contarte todo lo que no había sucedido
And I made an effort to tell you everything that hadn't happened
Por no encontrarnos un millón de años atrás
For not finding each other a million years ago
Y jamás te volví a ver (eh)
And I never saw you again (eh)
Buscando una razón para estar vivo
Looking for a reason to be alive
Se me asomó tu falda aquella tarde azul
Your skirt appeared to me that blue afternoon
Y me esmeré en contarte todo lo que no había sucedido
And I poured my heart into telling you everything that hadn't happened
Por no encontrarnos un millón de años atrás
For us not to meet a million years ago
Fue un invierno de cristal
It was a winter of crystal
