Paroles et traduction Fernando Delgadillo - El Abordaje

El Abordaje

Y uno, y dos ... y uno, dos, tres,
Cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve y diez

Disculpe usted, sientese aquí en este lugar
Sabe, me he estado preguntando como se podría llamar
Hasta la edad que tiene y uno que otro dato más
Seguro, es a usted a la que le hablo, verá

Es un momento que he esperado largo tiempo atras
Siempre me estuve repitiendo: espera chico, ya vendrá
Más de una vez negué mi asiento para los demás
Niños, ancianos o señoras, esperandola encontrar

Y hoy por fin es el gran día
Algo me dice que usted no viaja en tranvía
Usted me encuentra o yo la encuentro, hey
Tras de interesarse un poco me concedería un momento
Yo me sentaría a su lado, por ejemplo
Porque es más cómodo viajar los dos sentados
Además de la ventaja de ir más juntos, sabe no?
Disculpe todavía no acabo, no se pare

Sepa que la imagine
Tan linda y delicada como usted
Viernes propicio, coincidencia y si
Es justo el tipo de chiquita que esperaba para mi

Lo ha visto? estoy de suerte, me ha pasado otravez
Ya se ha desocupado un sitio justo junto a usted
Ya se lo he dicho hace un momento, estoy feliz de ver
Que todo viene y va pasando como debe ser

Diga algo porfavor
Déjeme oir su voz, vamos
Tal vez será que la emoción le ha impedido decir
Era una broma no se enoje, no me mire así

Hablando enserio, encantado de conocerla
Como me gusta usted
Mire, de veras me interesa, caramba
No es solo un modo de dolerme la cabeza
Pero falta este de acuerdo la invito a almorzar
Una comida, una merienda, un café nadamas

Porque prefiero casi todo menos escapar
Porque por fin me la he encontrado y he empezado a hablar
De que se rie? que dije hablar
Bueno, suponga que hablo un poco más que los demas
No siga riendo, es un problema serio y soledad
Que dice de la historia? le falta el final

Venga con migo, la ayudo a parar
Deme ese pesado, yo lo llevo, vamos por acá
Deme su mano y no se olvide de tomar con la otra el barandal

Seguro me la imagine
Tan linda y delicada como usted
Viernes propicio, coincidencia y si
Es justo el tipo de chiquita que esperaba para mi

The Approach

And one, and two ... and one, two, three,
Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten

Excuse me, please have a seat here in this place
You know, I've been wondering what your name might be
And your age, and a few other details, you see
I'm sure I'm speaking to you, you'll agree

This is a moment I've waited for, long time past
I kept telling myself: wait, boy, it will come at last
More than once I denied my seat for the rest
Children, elders, or ladies, hoping to find you, the best

And today, finally, the great day has arrived
Something tells me you don't usually travel by tram, I surmised
You find me or I find you, hey
After showing some interest, would you grant me a moment, I pray?
I would sit beside you, for example, it's okay
Because it's more comfortable to travel both seated this way
Besides the advantage of being closer, you know, right?
Excuse me, I'm not finished yet, please don't take flight

Know that I imagined you
As beautiful and delicate as you truly are, it's true
Propitious Friday, coincidence, and yes, it's you
You're just the kind of girl I was hoping for, through and through

Have you seen? I'm in luck, it's happened again
A seat has just become available right next to you, my friend
I told you a moment ago, I'm happy to see
That everything comes and goes as it should be

Say something, please, I implore
Let me hear your voice, come on, say more
Perhaps the emotion has prevented you from speaking so far
It was a joke, don't be angry, don't look at me like that, you are a star

Seriously speaking, delighted to meet you, my dear
How I like you, it's quite clear
Look, I'm truly interested, gosh, it's true
It's not just a way to hurt my head, boo hoo
But if you agree, I invite you to lunch, it's a date
A meal, a snack, just a coffee, it's not too late

Because I prefer almost anything but to escape
Because I've finally found you and I've started to talk, it's great
What are you laughing at? Did I say talk?
Well, suppose I talk a little more than the rest of the flock
Don't keep laughing, it's a serious problem and solitude
What do you say about the story? It's missing the end, it's crude

Come with me, I'll help you to stop
Give me that heavy thing, I'll carry it, let's hop
Give me your hand and don't forget to hold the handrail with the other, don't flop

I'm sure I imagined you
As beautiful and delicate as you truly are, it's true
Propitious Friday, coincidence, and yes, it's you
You're just the kind of girl I was hoping for, through and through
