Justamente ahora
Right now
Irrumpes en mi vida
You burst into my life
Con tu cuerpo exacto y ojos de asesina
With your perfect body and killer eyes
Tarde, como siempre, nos llega la fortuna
Late, as always, fortune comes to us
Tú ibas con él, yo iba con ella
You were with him, I was with her
Jugando a ser felices por desesperados
Playing at being happy out of desperation
Por no aguardar los sueños
For not waiting for dreams
Por miedo a quedar solos
For fear of being alone
Pero llegamos tarde
But we arrived too late
Te vi, me viste
I saw you, you saw me
Nos reconocimos enseguida, pero tarde
We recognized each other right away, but too late
Maldita sea la hora
Damn that hour
Que encontré lo que soñé
That I found what I dreamed of
Tarde
Too late
Tanto soñarte y extrañarte, sin tenerte
So much dreaming of you and missing you, without having you
Tanto inventarte
So much inventing you
Tanto buscarte por las calles, como un loco
So much searching for you on the streets, like a madman
Sin encontrarte
Without finding you
Iba uno de tonto, por desesperado
I was acting like a fool, out of desperation
Confundiendo amor con compañía
Confusing love with companionship
Y ese miedo idiota de verte viejo y sin pareja
And that silly fear of seeing you old and alone
Te hace escoger, con la cabeza, lo que es del corazón
Makes you choose, with your head, what's from your heart
Y no tengo nada contra ellos
And I have nothing against them
La rabia es contra el tiempo por ponerte junto a mí
The anger is against time for putting you next to me
Tarde, yeh y yeh, oh, uh, oh
Late, yeh y yeh, oh, uh, oh
Ganas de huir
Desire to flee
De no verte ni la sombra
To not even see your shadow
De pensar que esto fue un sueño o una pesadilla
To think that this was a dream or a nightmare
Que nunca apareciste, que nunca has existido
That you never showed up, that you never existed
Ganas de besarte
Desire to kiss you
De coincidir contigo
To meet with you
De acercarme un poco y amarrarte en un abrazo
To get a little closer and tie you in an embrace
De mirarte a los ojos y decirte: "bienvenida"
To look you in the eyes and say: 'welcome'
Pero llegamos tarde
But we arrived late
Te vi, me viste
I saw you, you saw me
Nos reconocimos enseguida, pero tarde
We recognized each other instantly, but too late
Quizás en otras vidas
Maybe in other lives
Quizás en otras muertes
Maybe in other deaths
Qué ganas de rozarte
How I long to brush against you
Qué ganas de tocarte
How I long to touch you
De acercarme a ti y golpearte con un beso
To come close to you and hit you with a kiss
De fugarnos para siempre
To run away together forever
Sin daños a terceros
Without harm to anyone else
