Quién iba a decirme que una sola mirada,
Who was going to tell me that a single glance,
en un noviembre cualquiera, cambiaría mi vida.
on any November day, would change my life.
Que entre tantos caminos, entre tanta distancia,
That among so many paths, among so much distance,
había un corazón que esperaba por el mío.
there was a heart waiting for mine.
Fue noviembre del veinticinco, en Estepa nos cruzó el destino, tú con tu mundo, yo con el mío, sin imaginar lo que había escondido.
It was November twenty-fifth, in Estepa destiny crossed our paths, you with your world, I with mine, without imagining what was hidden.
Tú desde Cáceres, yo desde Málaga, dos vidas tan lejos, una historia tan mágica. Y aunque aquel día nos vimos tan poco, algo en mi pecho se quedó contigo.
You from Cáceres, I from Málaga, two lives so far apart, such a magical story. And although that day we saw each other so little, something in my chest stayed with you.
Pasaron los meses, siguió cada uno su camino, pero hay encuentros que no se lleva el olvido. Y aunque no sabía cuándo volvería a verte, algo de mí seguía queriendo encontrarte.
Months passed, each went their own way, but there are encounters that oblivion doesn't take away. And although I didn't know when I would see you again, something in me kept wanting to find you.
Y llegó septiembre, volvió a latir el tiempo, te tuve delante y entendí lo que siento. No sé cómo explicarlo, no sé qué nos pasó, pero al tenerte cerca, mi mundo se paró.
And September arrived, time beat again, I had you in front of me and I understood what I feel. I don't know how to explain it, I don't know what happened to us, but having you close, my world stopped.
Y si tengo que cruzar mil kilómetros por ti, si hay mil noches esperando, yo te espero hasta el fin. Porque cuando estoy contigo todo encuentra su lugar, eres calma entre mis guerras, eres ganas de soñar.
And if I have to cross a thousand kilometers for you, if there are a thousand nights waiting, I will wait for you until the end. Because when I'm with you everything finds its place, you are calm amidst my wars, you are the desire to dream.
Y ya no quiero despedidas, ni un abrazo con final, quiero despertarme contigo y que sea algo normal. De aquel noviembre a septiembre, de encontrarnos a entender que si la vida nos dio otra oportunidad, yo no te quiero perder.
And I no longer want goodbyes, nor a hug with an end, I want to wake up with you and for it to be normal. From that November to September, from meeting to understanding that if life gave us another chance, I don't want to lose you.
Me gustan nuestras risas, tu manera de mirarme, esa paz tan bonita que me das sin intentarlo. Y esas horas que se escapan cuando estamos juntos, como si el mundo entero se olvidara de nosotros.
I like our laughs, your way of looking at me, that beautiful peace you give me without trying. And those hours that escape when we are together, as if the whole world forgot about us.
Hacemos mil planes, nos sobra la ilusión, ponemos un futuro donde antes hubo distancia. Y aunque a veces duela no poderte abrazar, cada día que te quiero me da fuerzas para esperar.
We make a thousand plans, we have plenty of enthusiasm, we put a future where there was once distance. And although sometimes it hurts not to be able to hug you, every day that I love you gives me strength to wait.
No quiero que lo nuestro viva solo en los viajes, ni contar los días para volver a besarte. Quiero compartir contigo lo sencillo y lo importante, los lunes por la mañana y las noches por delante.
I don't want our relationship to live only in trips, nor to count the days to kiss you again. I want to share with you the simple and the important things, Monday mornings and the nights ahead.
Porque ahora sé que no era casualidad, que hay personas que te encuentran y te enseñan a respirar. Y después de tanto tiempo, de no poderte tener, cuando volví a estar contigo, supe que te quería escoger
Because now I know it wasn't a coincidence, that there are people who find you and teach you to breathe. And after so much time, of not being able to have you, when I was with you again, I knew I wanted to choose you.
Y si tengo que cruzar mil kilómetros por ti, si hay mil noches esperando, yo te espero hasta el fin. Porque cuando estoy contigo todo encuentra su lugar, eres calma entre mis guerras, eres ganas de soñar.
And if I have to cross a thousand kilometers for you, if there are a thousand nights waiting, I will wait for you until the end. Because when I'm with you everything finds its place, you are calm amidst my wars, you are the desire to dream.
Y ya no quiero despedidas, ni un abrazo con final, quiero despertarme contigo y que sea algo normal. De aquel noviembre a septiembre, de encontrarnos a ente
And I no longer want goodbyes, nor a hug with an end, I want to wake up with you and for it to be normal. From that November to September, from meeting to understanding
