Genius Translations
PJ Sin Suela - Pa Ti (English Translation)
[Intro]
Give me a break, my mom sent me a text

[Verse 1]
I think about our first kiss and I cry
Tears of joy rain through my pores
I remember the first time you smiled at me
And the first thousand words you said to me

Do you remember the nights we didn’t sleep?
Little hugs in your navy blue room
Kisses so beautiful no one had ever given me
For you, I’d give my life in this complicated world

Sharing an ice cream today would complete me
It’s been a while since you haven’t looked at like you did that day
You hugged me, you kissed me, and you said that you loved me
I dream of that moment every morning

You, behind another woman, me with paper photos
Here I try to remember yesterday’s paper
But time passes, and you don’t get it back
I swear to you that I’ll love you until I die

And why to you go with her if I’ve given you everything
For you I’ve almost fucked myself up, turn around like Quasimodo
You gave a ring to Frodo and you give her my nickname
Yes, mami, I want to travel the whole globe with you
So quick you change on me, like a season
You almost never answer my calls anymore
Come on, I love you, you say “don’t exaggerate”
I think that I’m a burden and I don’t matter to you at all


[Verse 2]


Mom
You’re the most beautiful woman, my only star
There aren’t 50 of them that could fill your footprints
Sorry if I’ve let you down, I’ve been a little busy
I’ll always be here for you like the Chapulín Colorado

I remember you waiting at the baseball field
Others went to the mall and you shouted, “Go on, hit it out of the park”
The ball at the park, like you did it
With that little puppy that in 9 months you gave birth to

And it’s sad to think that you think that I’ve forgotten
There’s no Alzheimers that scratches you out and no eraser that has erased you
I just had to grow up, you watered this skin
And I pray that my wife is like you woman

Because of you I love dogs and I have this smile
That straightens out my days, bent like the tower of Pisa
I barely go to mass, and I question the bible more
But I pray every night for the whole family
I move like cilia because life moves on
You say the biggest gift you don’t get
You give, so I thank you mom
For suffering for me yesterday for a better tomorrow
