Translation of the song lyrics Buena chica [Las Ventas 08] - Los Secretos, Amaral

Buena chica [Las Ventas 08] (original)

Su casa bordeando la autopista hizo que ella creciera muy deprisa.
No quise conocerla de aquel modo, si quieres comprar algo tengo todo.
Y pocas veces sonreía, pero con eso a mí me valía.
No quise acompañarla en aquel vuelo porque apenas pisábamos el suelo,
y antes que nuestro tren descarrilara en marcha me bajé sin decir nada.
En otro tiempo me gustaba cuando en su mismo barco viajaba, yo viajaba.
La ví en un bar de aquellos que frecuenta, estaba de negocios en la puerta
y comprendí que nada había cambiado, ójala nunca la hubiera encontrado.
Te juro que era buena chica, aunque con poco apego a la vida.

Buena chica [Las Ventas 08] (translation)

Her house bordering the highway made her grow up very fast.
I didn't want to meet her that way, if you want to buy something I have everything.
And she rarely smiled, but that was enough for me.
I did not want to accompany her on that flight because we barely touched the ground,
and before our train derailed in motion I got off without saying anything.
In another time I liked it when she traveled on her own ship, I traveled.
I saw her in one of those bars she frequents, she was on business at the door
and I understood that nothing had changed, I wish I had never found it.
I swear to you that she was a good girl, although with little attachment to life.
