22 Steps

If I were him,Si yo fuera él,

I'd know your birthday.Conocería tu cumpleaños.

Just what to get,Justo qué regalarte,

The colors you wear.Los colores que usas.

We'd buy old bikes,Compraríamos bicicletas viejas,

We'd ride on Sundays.Andaríamos los domingos.

You'd review the books I sent.Revisarías los libros que te envié.

And I know,Y sé,

It takes 22 steps,Que son 22 pasos,

From the walk to your door,Desde la caminata hasta tu puerta,

It takes 22 steps,Son 22 pasos,

Because I've tried it before.Porque lo intenté antes.

And one day I'll knock,Y un día tocaré,

But just not yet.Pero aún no.

If I were him,Si yo fuera él,

I'd buy the raincoat,Compraríamos el impermeable,

The orange one,El naranja,

That he forbade.Que él prohibió.

We'd wait for rain,Esperaríamos la lluvia,

We'd walk by his house.Pasearíamos por su casa.

In the front,En el frente,

Not by the lane.No por el callejón.

And I know,Y sé,

It takes 22 steps,Que son 22 pasos,

From the walk to your door,Desde la caminata hasta tu puerta,

It takes 22 steps,Son 22 pasos,

Because I've tried it before,Porque lo intenté antes,

And one day I'll knock,Y un día tocaré,

But just not yet.Pero aún no.

And I'm not so sure,Y no estoy tan seguro,

That you would not say,De que no dirías,

Get out, don't step in,Sal, no entres,

I'll never try again.{x2}Nunca lo intentaré de nuevo.{x2}

It takes 22 steps,Son 22 pasos,

From the walk to your door,Desde la caminata hasta tu puerta,

It takes 22 steps,Son 22 pasos,

Because I've tried it before,Porque lo intenté antes,

And one day I'll knock.Y un día tocaré.

But just not yet.Pero aún no.

If I were him,Si yo fuera él,

I'd know your birthday wishConocería el deseo de tu cumpleaños
