Día de enero [English translation]

I met you on a January day

With the moon on my nose

And when I saw you were honest

I got lost in your eyes

What a dumb distraction

And what a sweet sensation

And now that we are travelling the world

Like Mutt and Jeff did

I have finally found some of the scars

That others have done to you

But my crazy love

Is your best doctor

I'm going to heal your grieving soul

I'm going to make you feel like new

And everything will pass

You will see the sun shining soon

You, more than anyone, deserve to be happy

You will see how your wounds

Are going to heal little by little

You will see how life itself

Will decant the excess of salt from the sea

And though you were a foreigner

Even in your own country

If I say "Could you repeat what you just said?"[1]

You still say "Come again?"

And you cry tears of happiness when you hear a bandoneon[2]

And even if you seem to be clueless

With your slow way of walking

I know the reason that makes your heart ache

That's why I wanted to write this song for you

You will see how your wounds

Are going to heal little by little

You will see how life itself

Will decant the excess of salt from the sea
