These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo sería farolero
I would be a lamplighter
Si tú te hicieras farola
If you made yourself a street lamp
Que me espera por las noches
What awaits me at night
Encendida pero sola
On but alone
Yo sería barrendero
I would be a street sweeper
Si tú te hicieras escoba
If you made a broom
Para tomarte en mis manos
To take you into my hands
Y barrer juntos la alcoba
And sweep the bedroom together
En cambio tú me ves y nada
Instead you see me and nothing
Y pasa un día y pasa un mes
And a day passes and a month passes.
Y es que la suerte estaba echada
And the die was cast
Las cosas salen al revés
Things go the other way around
Y ya lo ves pasan los años dejando huellas al pasar
And you see it, the years go by leaving traces as they pass
Nuestro amor es imposible
Our love is impossible
Yo soy pez de río tú eres pez de mar
I am river fish you are sea fish
Yo sería barrendero
I would be a street sweeper
Si tú te volvieras roca para abrir alguna brecha
If you turned rock to open a breach
Y llegar hasta tu boca
And reach your mouth
Yo sería relojero
I would be a watchmaker
Si tú te volvieras hora
If you would become time
Aunque tiene mal arreglo
Although it has a bad arrangement
Lo que el tiempo no perdona
What time does not forgive
En cambio tú me ves y nada
Instead you see me and nothing
Y pasa un día y pasa un mes
And a day passes and a month passes.
Y es que la suerte estaba echada
And the die was cast
Las cosas salen al revés
Things go the other way around
Y ya lo ves pasan los años dejando huellas al pasar
And you see it, the years go by leaving traces as they pass
Nuestro amor es imposible
Our love is impossible
Yo soy pez de río tú eres pez de mar
I am river fish you are sea fish
Yo seria marinero
I would be a sailor
Si tú te hicieras gaviota
If you became a seagull
Pero tú no tienes alas y mi barca ya no flota
But you have no wings and my boat no longer floats
Yo seria curandero
I would be a healer
Si tú te volvieras droga
If you became a drug
Para curar este mal que al pensar en ti me ahoga
To cure this evil that drowns me when thinking of you
En cambio tú me ves y nada
Instead you see me and nothing
Y pasa un día y pasa un mes
And a day passes and a month passes.
Y es que la suerte estaba echada
And the die was cast
Las cosas salen al revés
Things go the other way around
Y ya lo ves pasan los años dejando huellas al pasar
And you see it, the years go by leaving traces as they pass
Nuestro amor es imposible
Our love is impossible
Yo soy pez de río tú eres pez de mar
I am river fish you are sea fish
