Los Cafres - Casi que me pierdo



Los cafres from "kafir", in Arabic a word used by Moslems to describe an "unbeliever". Not to be confused with kaffir which is a pejorative term for blacks in South Africa and an old word for corn in English. Los Cafres, una banda reggae argentina, son muy popular. http://www.loscafres.net/

Casi que me voy hasta
el fin del mundo a buscarte
casi que me cuelgo, y no puedo volver
casi que me pierdo, tus ojitos de antes
siempre expectantes, siempre soña

Me gusta cantar hoy por nuestro encuentro
prefiero entregarle al mundo lo cierto
casi que me muero, sin conocerte
casi que me quedo sin bailar

Suerte que te vi, cantando
correteando por ahí
que suerte igual te vi, bailando
me di cuenta de tanto

Casi que la noche me sorprende
pero que tarde uno aprende
la suerte es amiga de la acción

Suerte que te vi, cantando
me di cuenta de tanto
que suerte igual te vi, bailando
me callo la ficha de quien sos

Claro que salpica
este charco en vano
y ya no esta tan limpia
mi condición

Pero se que te vi, bailando
correteando por ahí
que suerte igual te vi, cantando
me callo la ficha de quien sos

Que suerte que te vi...
Yo tantas ganas de amarte
que suerte igual te vi
me callo la ficha de quien sos...

Suerte es amiga de la acción
I almost went
to the end of the world to find you
Almost quitting, and I can not return
Almost lost you, before your eyes
Always expecting, always dreaming

I love to sing today for our meeting
I prefer to give the world the truth
I almost died, without knowing
I almost stayed without dancing

Luckily I saw you, singing
running around
how lucky I saw you, dancing
Both of us realized

Almost surprised me that night
but later one learned
luck is a friend of action

Luckily I saw you, singing
Both of us realized
just how lucky I saw you, dancing
I'll keep quiet the record of who you are
 

Of course splashing
in this puddle in vain
its no longer as clean
as my condition

But I saw you dancing
running around
how lucky I saw you, singing
I'll shut up the tab for who you are

How lucky I saw you ...
I wanted to earn your love
I saw you like that sort
I'll shut up the record of who you are ...

Luck is a friend of action

  1. Use the present tense in Spanish to express a past action that still continues.
