cimorene

i always wait for you sitting down on the corner,
and even more dressed up than for a friday night,
with no date made in advance
but with the simple intuition that i'll see you.

my eyes can't stop looking and looking
for the dark flint to strike sparks of ideas,
searching out more hollownesses inside of hollownesses,
looking for a light in the midst of this great sky.

oh, my sky, my poor sky.

i'm hiding my hands because i'm cold
and they feel odd inside of my purse.
now more than an hour and a half have passed
and you haven't appeared; my instinct has failed me,
but it's just that my instinct doesn't know the ins and outs of loves,
my instinct doesn't know that

living life without you is something like dying
is walking blindly, is singing and not hearing,
is speaking without breath, is eating and never being full--

because i've discovered you're the perfect form,
the exactly perfect remedy for all my ills,
and this is true.

letra/lyrics:Shakira Mebarak,Luis F. Ochoa

te espero sentada en
la esquina de siempre,
y más arreglada que
si fuera un viernes
sin ninguna cita hecha
previamente
pero con la plena
intuición de verte
mis ojos no paran
de mirar y mirar
el oscuro pedernal
de las ideas
buscando mas huecos
dentro de este hueco,
buscando una luz
en medio de este cielo
mi cielo mi cielo
pobre de mi cielo
mis manos las guardo
porque tengo frio
y se sienten raras
dentro del bolsillo
ha pasado ya mas
de una hora y media
no has aparecido,
me falló mi instinto
pero es que mi instinto
no sabe de amores,
pero es que mi instinto
no sabe que...

coro/chorus:

vivir la vida sin ti
es algo como morir
es caminar sin mirar
es como cantar sin oír
es hablar sin respirar
es comer sin digerir
porque yo descubrí
que eres la forma perfecta
la medida exacta
justa para mi y es así...
