Lyrics of Sólo Quería un Café - Ricardo Arjona

Sólo Quería un Café (original)

Con poca azúcar, quizá un croisant
No iba por la tertulia o el flirtreo
Solo quería un café
Quizá echarle algun vistazo
A las malas nuevas de los diarios o sacudirme
Esa pereza crónica de mis amaneceres
Juro por mi que solo fui por un café,
Pero te vi…
Y cambiaste mi vida, mi ritmo, mi espacio,
Mi tiempo, mi historia, mis sueños y todo
Y me agregaste risas, dos dudas, un duende,
Un par de fantasmas
Y este amor que te tengo.
Y juro por mi qué solo fui por un café
Pero te vi…
Quien iba a imaginar
Que esa mañana, en el café
Yo iria a coincidir con el milagro
De pisar el mismo espacio
A la misma hora que tu
Y cómo si esto fuera poco
Que tus ojos se fijaran justamente en mi
Juro por mi qué solo fui por un café
Pero te vi…
Y cambiaste mi vida, mi ritmo, mi espacio,
Mi tiempo, mi historia, mis sueños y todo
Y me agregaste risas, dos dudas, un duende,
Un par de fantasmas
Y este amor que te tengo.
Y juro por mi qué solo fui por un café.
(Gracias a Sandra Diosa por esta letra)

(translation)

With little sugar, maybe a croissant
I wasn't going for the chat or the flirtation
I just wanted a coffee
maybe take a look at it
To the bad news of the newspapers or shake me
That chronic laziness of my sunrises
I swear to myself that I only went for a coffee,
But I saw you...
And you changed my life, my rhythm, my space,
My time, my story, my dreams and everything
And you added laughter, two doubts, an elf,
a couple of ghosts
And this love that I have for you.
And I swear to myself that I only went for a coffee
But I saw you...
who would have imagined
That that morning, in the cafe
I would go to coincide with the miracle
of stepping on the same space
at the same time as you
And as if this were not enough
That your eyes were fixed precisely on me
I swear on myself that I only went for a coffee
But I saw you...
And you changed my life, my rhythm, my space,
My time, my story, my dreams and everything
And you added laughter, two doubts, an elf,
a couple of ghosts
And this love that I have for you.
And I swear to myself that I only went for a coffee.
