Lyrics of Te Vi - Mon Laferte

Te Vi (original)

Qué bonita estás, ahí en la cocina
Un poco más lenta, con las manos partidas
Cuando me abrazaste volví a ser tu niña
Y ahora entre tus brazos hago del rencor una causa perdida
A veces gritabas, a veces golpeabas
Pero tú, mamita, estabas tan solita
Y supiste darme lo que no tenías
Yo te vi llorar porque faltaba el pan pa' mantenernos vivas
Y hoy que estoy aquí
Te vi, te vi, te vi
Tan arrepentida y tan cansada
De llevar tu cruz y en ese herido corazón
No me cabe duda que me amabas
Te vi, te vi, te vi
Y a la vez me vi en tu mirada
Y abracé esa cruz y este herido corazón
Hoy quiere decirte que te ama
Cuando yo vivía dentro de tu panza
No me conocías y ya me cantabas
Yo aprendí a entenderte todos estos años
La vida es tan corta que no merecemos hacernos más daño
Y hoy que estoy aquí
Te vi, te vi, te vi
Tan arrepentida y tan cansada
De llevar tu cruz y en ese herido corazón
No me cabe duda que me amabas
Te vi, te vi, te vi
Y a la vez me vi en tu mirada
Y abracé esa cruz y este herido corazón
Hoy quiere decir, hoy quiere decirte que te ama

(translation)

How beautiful you are, there in the kitchen
A little slower, with split hands
When you hugged me I became your girl again
And now in your arms I make rancor a lost cause
Sometimes you yelled, sometimes you hit
But you, mommy, you were so lonely
And you knew how to give me what you didn't have
I saw you cry because there was no bread to keep us alive
And today that I am here
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
so sorry and so tired
To carry your cross and in that wounded heart
I have no doubt that you loved me
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
And at the same time I saw myself in your gaze
And I embraced that cross and this wounded heart
Today he wants to tell you that he loves you
When I lived inside your belly
You didn't know me and you already sang to me
I learned to understand you all these years
Life is so short that we don't deserve to hurt ourselves anymore
And today that I am here
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
so sorry and so tired
To carry your cross and in that wounded heart
I have no doubt that you loved me
I saw you, I saw you, I saw you
And at the same time I saw myself in your gaze
And I embraced that cross and this wounded heart
Today he wants to say, today he wants to tell you that he loves you
