Translation of the song lyrics Como peces en el agua - Jarabe De Palo

Como peces en el agua (original)

Iba tan deprisa que no te vi pasar
tan deprisa que no veia nada,
tan deptrisa que me perdí el paisaje
y la belleza que me rodeaba.
Iba tan deprisa que no me di cuenta,
tan deprisa que la vida se escapaba,
tan deprisa que el presente era pasado
a cada paso que daba.
Quería parar a disfrutar de los olores
del suave vaivén del juego de los amantes,
quería parar y recrearme en la locura
cuando dos cuerpos se juntan.
Quería parar a disfrutar de los momentos
del suave vaivén de los peces en el agua,
quería parar pero iba tan deprisa
que se me escapó la vida.
Iba tan deprisa
que no cai en la cuenta
que corria y corria
y que no tenia prisa.
Iba tan deprisa
que no cai en la cuenta
que corria y corria
sin saber a donde iba.
(Gracias a Esteve González por esta letra)

(translation)

I was going so fast that I didn't see you pass
so fast that I didn't see anything,
so fast that I missed the landscape
and the beauty that surrounded me.
I was going so fast that I didn't notice
so fast that life slipped away,
so fast that the present was past
at every step he took.
I wanted to stop to enjoy the smells
of the gentle swing of the lovers' game,
I wanted to stop and recreate myself in madness
when two bodies meet.
I wanted to stop to enjoy the moments
of the gentle swaying of the fish in the water,
I wanted to stop but I was going so fast
that my life slipped away.
I was going so fast
that I did not realize
who ran and ran
and that he was in no hurry.
I was going so fast
that I did not realize
who ran and ran
without knowing where he was going.
