Translation of the song Pudo Ser artist Gustavo Cerati
Pudo Ser
Could Have Been
El aire está cargado de suspenso
The air is loaded of suspense
Diluvia y no hay un taxi
It's flooded and there's no taxi
Temí
I feared
Pudo ser intuición
It could have been intuition
Verano de muerte y resurrección
Summer of passing and then returning
Creí oír sus pasos
I thought I heard her walk
Temí
I feared
Pudo ser sugestión
It could've been suggestion
Felinos en el parque
Felines at the park
Doy vuelta a la esquina
I turn on the corner
Desnuda se acerca
Naked, she approaches
Presencia feroz
Ferocious presence
Bien
Very well,
Pudo ser el calor
It could've been hot flashes
O bien
Very well,
Pudo ser el calor
It could've been the heat
Caemos fulminados por un rayo
We fall, struck, out of a bolt
Que viene del futuro
Coming from the future
O bien
Or, well,
Pudo ser la pasión
It could've been the passion
Mentiras se deslizan por sus labios
Lies are slipping whole through her lips
No puedo ya mirarla
Now I can't look at her
Aún desgarra cuando escucho su cuerpo
She still rips and tears when I hear her body
Dormir...
Sleep...
Dormir...
Sleep...
Pudo ser un error
It could've been a flaw
En mí
In me
Pudo ser un error
It could've been a fault
O bien
Or, well,
Pudo ser un error
It could've been a blunder
