Allá afuera, seis contra seis en la contienda futbolera del barrio
Out there, six against six in the neighborhood soccer clash
Aquí adentro un insecto se posa sin complejos en el ropero
In here, an insect lands without shame on the wardrobe
Un voceador con objetivos de venta anuncia la peor noticia
A vendor with sales goals announces the worst news
Y la viuda de enfrente vio a un muchacho de 20 con malicia
And the widow across the street saw a boy of twenty with malice
Y el sol que se apaga y la luna se enciende (la luna se enciende)
And the sun that fades while the moon ignites (the moon ignites)
Y al vecino filósofo nadie lo entiende
And the philosopher neighbor, no one understands him
Y advertí que el reloj no avanzaba
And I noticed that the clock wasn't moving
Presumí que era un defecto mecánico
I assumed it was a mechanical flaw
No entendí que era por mí que no pasaba el tiempo
I didn't understand it was me that time wasn't passing for
Porque siempre, siempre he pensado en ti
Because always, always I've thought of you
Pensar en ti, pensar en ti
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Es como abrirle un agujero al tiempo, pensar en ti
It's like opening a hole in time, thinking of you
Pensar en ti, pensar en ti
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Es un derroche de masoquismo pensar en ti, sin mí
It's a waste of masochism to think of you, without me
Allá afuera cuatro contra tres fue el resultado final
Out there, four against three was the final score
Y el estornudo que di fue para aquel insecto un huracán
And the sneeze I let out was a hurricane for that insect
Y aquel voceador ha cambiado de noticia pues nada ha vendido
And that town crier has changed the news since he hasn't sold anything
Y la viuda de enfrente resolvió su problema como ha podido
And the widow across the street solved her problem as best she could
Y la luna se apaga y es el sol que se enciende (es el sol que se enciende)
And the moon fades and it's the sun that ignites (it's the sun that ignites)
Y el filósofo vuela en su cometa de humo
And the philosopher flies in his kite of smoke
Ya advertí que el reloj no avanzaba
I already noticed that the clock wasn't moving
Presumí que era un defecto mecánico
I assumed it was a mechanical flaw
No entendí que era por mí que no pasaba el tiempo
I didn't understand that it was because of me that time stood still
Porque siempre, siempre he pensado en ti
Because I've always, always thought of you
Pensar en ti, pensar en ti
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Es como abrirle un agujero al tiempo, pensar en ti
It's like opening a hole in time, thinking of you
Pensar en ti, pensar en ti
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Es un derroche de masoquismo, pensar en ti, sin mí
It's a waste of masochism, thinking of you, without me
