Quizás [English translation]

Hello (my) old man1, how are you?

the years have passed since we've last spoken2

and I don't want you to think

that I've forgotten you.

I for one can't complain

I've been working, the same as always

although I admit my life

is filled with loneliness

Deep down you and I are almost the same

and it makes me crazy just at the thought of it.

Maybe, we're driven apart more as the days pass

maybe, life has driven us away from reality

maybe, you search for a desert and I search for a sea

maybe, I'm thankful to life; that I love you more today.

Hello (my) old man, how are you?

there's so many things I want to tell you

because one never knows

if tomorrow will come.

Sometimes we take a step back,3

and you always want to be right, 4

but I'm tired,

I don't want to argue

Deep down you and I are almost the same

and it makes me crazy just at the thought of it.

Maybe, we're driven apart more as the days pass

maybe, life has driven us away from reality

maybe, you search for a desert and I search for a sea

maybe, I'm thankful to life; that I love you more today.

1. Just to be clear, the literal translation is 'old (masculine)'. Viejo can mean something (an object) that is old. However it's said here the way a son might refer to his father and 'old man' is the equivalent. It can also be used by a wife calling her husband this too.2. lit. 'the years have passed we haven't spoken since then'.3. instead of going forward and things getting better, they go back to square one because they can't agree etc.4. lit. 'and you always want to be in the right'
