Ella camina y pasa, yo me detengo y veo
She walks on by, I stop and watch
Ella en zapatos negros, yo en mis gafas de miope
She in black shoes, I in my glasses for the nearsighted
Perfil perfecto aerodinámico
A perfect aerodynamic profile
Cortando el aire en cada paso
Cutting through the air with each step
Bendito sea el milagro que hoy nos hace coincidir
Blessed be the miracle that brings us together today
Tartamudea la acera
The sidewalk stutters
Con tus tacos de aguja al caminar
With your stiletto heels as you walk
¿Cómo has podido ir y venir por tantos años?
How have you been coming and going for so many years?
Sin mi
Without me
Vuelo, al vuelo
I fly, to flight
Detrás del huracán que hay en tu pelo
Behind the hurricane that is in your hair
Vuelo, al vuelo
I fly, in flight
Si coincidir es guerra y no consuelo
If matching is war and not comfort
Ella camina y pasa, yo me incorporo
She walks and passes by, I rise up
Ella no me conoce, yo me enamoro
She doesn’t know me, I fall in love
Pretérito pluscuamperfecto
Pluperfect past
De ser infiel con el futuro
To be unfaithful with the future
Despacio tras de ti me entrego a la persecución
Slowly behind you, I surrender to the chase
De las huellas que dejas
Of the footprints you leave
De lo que quieras darme en consignación
Of what you want to give me on consignment
¿Cómo he podido ir y venir por tantos años?
How could I have gone back and forth for so many years?
Sin ti
Without you
Vuelo, al vuelo
I fly, in flight
Detrás del huracán que hay en tu pelo
Behind the hurricane that’s in your hair
Vuelo, al vuelo
I fly, in flight
Si coincidir es guerra y no consuelo
If meeting is war and not comfort
Se paró el reloj cuando te vi pasar
The clock stopped when I saw you pass by
Vi mi carta astral tatuada en tu cintura
I saw my astrological chart tattooed on your waist
Yo no sé si esto está bien o mal
I don’t know if this is right or wrong
Yo no sé qué va a pasar tan sólo
I don’t know what will happen, just
Vuelo, al vuelo
I soar, I soar
Detrás del huracán que hay en tu pelo
Behind the hurricane that’s in your hair
Vuelo, al vuelo
I soar, I soar
Si coincidir es guerra y no consuelo
If meeting is war and not solace
