Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Es Caprichoso El Azar by Joan Manuel Serrat from Spanish to English.
Fue sin querer
It was without meaning to
Es caprichoso el azar
Chance is capricious
No te busqué
I didn't look for you
Ni me viniste a buscar
Nor did you come to look for me
Tú estabas donde
You were where
No tenías que estar
You didn't have to be
Pasé sin querer pasar
I passed without meaning to pass
Y me viste y te vi
And you saw me and I saw you
Entre la gente que
Among the people that
Iba y venía con
came and went in
Prisa en la tarde que
a rush in the afternoon that
Anunciaba chaparrón
announced a downpour
Tanto tiempo esperándote
So long waiting for you
Fue sin querer
It was without meaning to
Es caprichoso el azar
Chance is capricious
No te busqué
I didn't look for you
Ni me viniste a buscar
Nor did you come to look for me
Yo estaba donde
I was where
No tenía que estar
I didn't have to be
Y pasaste tú
And you went by
Como sin querer pasar
As if without meaning to pass
Pero prendió el azar
But chance lit
Semáforos carmín
crimson traffic lights
Detuvo el autobús
It stopped the bus
Y el aguacero hasta
And the downpour until
Que me miraste tú
you looked at me
Tanto tiempo esperándote
So long waiting for you
Fue sin querer
It was without meaning to
Es caprichoso el azar
Chance is capricious
No te busqué
I didn't look for you
Ni me viniste a buscar
Nor did you come to look for me
