Lyrics of Mientras Tanto - Bely Basarte

Mientras Tanto (original)

Se nos ha hecho tarde una tarde más
Tartamudeando dices que te vas
Me lo has dicho tantas veces y esta parece de verdad
Apostamos todo y todo no bastó
Fuimos como un lego que se desarmó
Y al juntar las piezas ya no encajan
Volvemos a ser dos
Sé que nada es como antes
Y sé que me toca olvidarte
Mientras tanto voy a imaginarme
Que esta noche vamos a cenar
Que me subo en tus zapatos pa' besarte
Y después en el sofá no me soltarás
Mientras no te olvide eres tan mío
Si respiro es gracias al dolor
Y arrancarte no va a ser sencillo
Como decirle al sol que apague su calor
Tampoco puedo yo, oh oh oh
Tampoco puedo yo, oh oh oh
Hace cuatro meses que no estás aquí
Y toda mi ropa sigue oliendo a ti
Te dejaste el disco de Bob Dylan que te recuerda a mí
Sé que nada es como antes
Y sé que me toca olvidarte
Pero mientras tanto voy a imaginarme
Que esta noche vamos a cenar
Que me subo en tus zapatos pa' besarte
Y después en el sofá no me soltarás
Mientras no te olvide eres tan mío
Si respiro es gracias al dolor
Y arrancarte no va a ser sencillo
Como decirle al sol que apague su calor
Tampoco puedo yo, oh oh oh
Tampoco puedo yo, oh oh oh
Mientras tanto voy a imaginarme
Que esta noche vamos a cenar
Que me subo en tus zapatos pa' besarte
Y después en el sofá no me soltarás
Mientras no te olvide eres tan mío
Si respiro es gracias al dolor
Y arrancarte no va a ser sencillo
Como decirle al sol que apague su calor
Tampoco puedo yo, oh oh oh
Tampoco puedo yo, oh oh oh

(translation)

We are late one more afternoon
Stuttering you say you're leaving
You've told me so many times and this one seems true
We bet everything and everything was not enough
We were like a lego that fell apart
And when you put the pieces together they don't fit anymore
We are two again
I know that nothing is like before
And I know that I have to forget you
In the meantime I'm going to imagine
That tonight we are going to have dinner
That I get into your shoes to kiss you
And later on the sofa you won't let me go
As long as I don't forget you, you are so mine
If I breathe it is thanks to the pain
And tearing you up is not going to be easy
Like telling the sun to turn off its heat
Neither can I, oh oh oh
Neither can I, oh oh oh
You haven't been here for four months
And all my clothes still smell like you
You left the Bob Dylan record that reminds you of me
I know that nothing is like before
And I know that I have to forget you
But in the meantime I'm going to imagine
That tonight we are going to have dinner
That I get into your shoes to kiss you
And later on the sofa you won't let me go
As long as I don't forget you, you are so mine
If I breathe it is thanks to the pain
And tearing you up is not going to be easy
Like telling the sun to turn off its heat
Neither can I, oh oh oh
Neither can I, oh oh oh
In the meantime I'm going to imagine
That tonight we are going to have dinner
That I get into your shoes to kiss you
And later on the sofa you won't let me go
As long as I don't forget you, you are so mine
If I breathe it is thanks to the pain
And tearing you up is not going to be easy
Like telling the sun to turn off its heat
Neither can I, oh oh oh
Neither can I, oh oh oh
