Translation of the song Cuento artist Ximena Sariñana

Cuánto se puede, quiero saber

I want to know how much is possible...

quien tiene menos para comer,

Who between us has the less food to eat?

y te convido y pido que no tenga sed..

And I invite you to partake, and I ask for you to not be thirsty

la emoción mece, crece y te quiero ver

This emotion swings, grows, and I want to see you

Puede que te quiera secuestrar y

Maybe I want to kidnap you, and

después te vaya a torturar no sé,

Later on I might torture you, I don't know

pero solo quiero contemplar

But I only want to contemplate

cuántas de tus pecas puedo yo entender

How many of your freckles can I understand?

porque ya no puedo esperar

For I can wait no longer

quiero que te vengas a tomar un té

I want you to come over and have a cup of tea

y entre todo este bienestar

And amidst all of this well-being

me acuerdo que ya despegué los pies...

I remember that my feet are already off the ground...

Me encimo, afino, termino y descubro

I put myself on top, tune up, reach the end, and discover

que el cuento, que cuento, no siento

That this tale I tell, I do not sense that

que quiera ser...

Whether it wants to happen....

y el humo consumo que imaginé...

And I consume the smoke, and I imagined that...

enciendo y entiendo que no te conozco bien...

I switched myself on, and I understand that I do not know you well...

Puede que te quiera secuestrar y después te vaya a torturar no sé

Maybe I want to kidnap you; later on I might torture you, I don't know

pero solo quiero contemplar cuántas de

But I only want to contemplate - how many of your freckles

tus pecas puedo yo entender...

Can I understand...?

Porque ya no puedo esperar, quiero que

For I can wait no longer I want you to come over for

te vengas a tomar café....

Coffee...

y entre todo este bienestar me acuerdo

And amidst all of this well-being I remember

que ya despegué los pies...

That my feet are already off the ground...
