Como Peces En El Agua
Jarabe de Palo
Like Fish in Water
I was going so fast that I didn't see you pass by
So fast that I couldn't see anything,
So fast that I missed the landscape
And the beauty surrounding me.
I was going so fast that I didn't realize,
So fast that life was slipping away,
So fast that the present was the past
With every step I took.
I wanted to stop to enjoy the scents
The gentle sway of lovers' play,
I wanted to stop and revel in the madness
When two bodies come together.
I wanted to stop to enjoy the moments
The gentle sway of fish in the water,
I wanted to stop but I was going so fast
That life slipped away from me.
I was going so fast
That I didn't realize
That I was running and running
And that I wasn't in a hurry.
I was going so fast
That I didn't realize
That I was running and running
Without knowing where I was going.
