Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Este Lado Del Cristal by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Asomada a la ventana, veo la plaza desierta
Leaning out the window, I see the deserted square
Solo el viento que se aburre mueve algunas hojas secas
Only the bored wind moves some dry leaves
No hay canciones, luz, ni niños, solo una noche cualquiera
There are no songs, light, or children, just an ordinary night
¿A quién queremos engañar si ni parece Nochebuena?
Who are we kidding if it doesn't even look like Christmas Eve?
Miro al cielo y enfadada exijo alguna explicación
I look at the sky and angry I demand some explanation
Pero todas mis palabras se convierten en vapor
But all my words turn to steam
Tengo frío y siento rabia y cierro de golpe la ventana
I'm cold and I feel angry and I slam the window
Y es entonces cuando veo tu mirada reflejada
And that's when I see your reflected gaze
Y de pronto, qué tonta, lo comprendo
And suddenly, what a fool, I understand
A este lado del cristal está todo lo que quiero
On this side of the glass is everything I want
Si podemos abrazarnos, lo demás puede esperar
If we can hug each other, the rest can wait
¿No es acaso un buen motivo como para celebrar?
Isn't that a good reason to celebrate?
Entonces me seco los ojos
So I dry my eyes
Y me siento a tu lado en nuestro sofá
And I sit next to you on our sofa
Me apoyo despacio en tu hombro
I lean slowly on your shoulder
Y me escucho decirte en voz alta 'Feliz Navidad'
And I hear myself say out loud 'Merry Christmas'
