Translation of the song lyrics Un vestido y un amor - Fito Paez

Un vestido y un amor (original)

Te vi, juntabas margaritas del mantel,
ya se que te trate bastante mal,
no se si eras un angel o un rubi,
o simplemente te vi.
Te vi, saliste entre la gente a saludar,
los astros se rieron otra vez,
la llave de Mandala se quebro,
o simplemente te vi.
Todo lo que diga esta de mas,
las luces siempre encienden en el alma,
y cuando me pierdo en la ciudad,
vos ya sabs comprender,
es solo un rato, no ms;
tendra que lloraro salir a matar,
te vi…, te vi…, te vi,
yo no buscaba a nadie y te vi.
Te vi, fumabas unos chinos en Madrid,
hay cosas que te ayudan a vivir,
no hacias otra cosa que escribir
y yo simplemente te vi.
Me fui, me voy de vez en cuando a algun lugar,
ya se no te hace gracia este pais,
tenias un vestido y un amor,
y yo simplemente te vi.
Todo lo que diga esta de mas,
las luces siempre encienden en el alma,
y cuando me pierdo en la ciudad,
vos ya sabs comprender,
es solo un rato, no mas;
tendria que lloraro salir a matar,
te vi…, te vi…, te vi,
yo no buscaba a nadie y te vi.
Te vi, te vi, te vi…
yo no buscaba a nadie y te vi.

(translation)

I saw you, you gathered daisies from the tablecloth,
I know I treated you pretty bad,
I don't know if you were an angel or a ruby,
Or I just saw you.
I saw you, you went out among the people to say hello,
the stars laughed again,
Mandala's key broke,
Or I just saw you.
Everything I say is superfluous,
the lights always turn on in the soul,
and when I get lost in the city,
you already know how to understand,
it's just a while, no more;
I will have to cry or go out to kill,
I saw you..., I saw you..., I saw you,
I wasn't looking for anyone and I saw you.
I saw you, you smoked some Chinese in Madrid,
there are things that help you live,
you did nothing but write
and I just saw you.
I left, I go from time to time somewhere,
I know you don't like this country,
you had a dress and a love,
and I just saw you.
Everything I say is superfluous,
the lights always turn on in the soul,
and when I get lost in the city,
you already know how to understand,
it's just a while, no more;
I would have to cry or go out to kill,
I saw you..., I saw you..., I saw you,
I wasn't looking for anyone and I saw you.
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you...
I wasn't looking for anyone and I saw you.
