Translation of the song lyrics Querido Tommy - Tommy Torres

Querido Tommy (original)

Querido Tommy, te escribo esta carta
No se si tu realmente lees estas cartas
Te escribo para pedirte algo
Que para mi es de vida o muerte
No pienses que exagero es la verdad
Mi nombre es Paco y te escribo de Santiago
Hay una chica que no se sale de mi mente
Para eso eres tan elocuente
Y a ella le encanta tus canciones
Te imaginas ya por donde voy
Es que con ella no me salen las palabras, y quizás
Tu pudieras ayudarme, a decirle que yo muero aquí por ella
Y de una forma un poco mas poética
Que eso del romanticismo a mi no se me da
Dame algo tan bonito que le saque mil suspiros
Decirle que la amo y nada mas
No se si bastara
(Noo ohh)
Señor Tommy: aquí le escribo nuevamente
No me ha contestado, pensaba que era buena gente
Puede que este muy ocupado
Pero yo estoy desesperado
Ayúdeme a encontrar la forma
De decirle que yo muero aquí por ella
Pero de una forma un poco mas poética
Que eso del romanticismo a mi no se me da
Deme algo tan bonito, algo que nunca le hayan dicho
Decirle que la amo y nada mas
No se si bastara
Amigo Paco: disculpe la demora
Espero no te moleste
Que haya copiado aquí tu historia
En el amor no soy experto
No se de donde sacaste eso
Y nada puede estar mas lejos de la verdad
No confundas palabrerías con sentimientos
Las metáforas son solo pajas del intelecto
Si me preguntas que decirle a tu chica
Solo dile que te mueres por ella
No se me ocurre una mejor manera
Que eso del romanticismo
Es solo un juego de ajedrez
Cuando se trata de sentimientos
No hay nada como ser directos
Dile que la amas y nada mas
Seguro bastara

(translation)

Dear Tommy, I am writing you this letter
I don't know if you really read these letters
I am writing to ask you for something
That for me is life or death
Do not think that I'm exagerating, it's the truth
My name is Paco and I am writing to you from Santiago
There's a girl who won't get out of my mind
That's why you're so eloquent
And she loves your songs
Can you imagine where I'm going
It's just that her words don't come out with her, and maybe
You could help me, to tell her that I die here for her
And in a slightly more poetic way
That this romanticism is not given to me
Give me something so beautiful that it takes a thousand sighs
Tell her that I love her and nothing more
I don't know if it will be enough
(Noo ohh)
Mr. Tommy: here I write to you again
She has not answered me, she thought she was a good person
I may be too busy
but i'm desperate
help me find the way
To tell her that I die here for her
But in a slightly more poetic way
That this romanticism is not given to me
Give me something so nice, something you've never been told
Tell her that I love her and nothing more
I don't know if it will be enough
Friend Paco: sorry for the delay
I hope you don't mind
That I copied your story here
In love I am not an expert
I don't know where you got that
And nothing could be further from the truth
Do not confuse chatter with feelings
Metaphors are just straws of the intellect
If you ask me what to tell your girl
Just tell her that you die for her
I can not think of a better way
What about romanticism
It's just a chess game
When it comes to feelings
There is nothing like being direct
Tell her you love her and nothing else
Sure enough
