Perhaps

We celebrate Mexican singer/songwriter Lila Downs!

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps – Lila Downs (based on the song by Joe Davis / Oswaldo Farres)
You won’t admit you love me And so, how am I ever, to know, You always tell me: Perhaps, perhaps, quizás
Así pasan los días Y yo desesperada Y tú, tú contestando Quizás, quizás, quizás	This is how the days go by and I’m desperate And you, you answering Perhaps perhaps perhaps
Estás perdiendo el tiempo, Pensando, pensando. ¿Por lo que más tú quieres? ¿Hasta cuándo? ¿Hasta cuándo?	You are losing your time, Thinking thinking. For what you want most? Even when? Even when?
So if you really love me, say yes But if you don’t, dear – confess And please don’t tell me Perhaps, perhaps, quizás
Siempre que te preguntó que, cuándo,     cómo y dónde Y tú me respondes: Quizá, quizá, quizá, quizá, quizá, quizá, Pensando Estás perdiendo el tiempo Pensando, pensando,	Whenever he asked you what, when,     how and where And you answer me: Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, Thinking You are losing your time Thinking thinking,
Y así pasan los días Y yo desesperadamente Pensando tambien, tambien	And so the days pass and I desperately Thinking too, too
Siempre que te pregunto Qué, cuándo, cómo y dónde Tú siempre me responde Quizás, quizás, quizás	Every time I ask you What, when, how and where You always answer me Perhaps perhaps perhaps
A million times I’ve asked you And then I ask you over again You only answer Perhaps, perhaps, quizás
If you can’t make your mind up We’ll never get started. And I don’t want to wind up, Being parted, broken hearted
So if you really love me, say yes But if you don’t, dear – confess And please don’t tell me Perhaps, perhaps, quizás
Vida mia ¿Hasta cuándo? ¿Hasta cuándo?     ¿Hasta cuándo? Vida mía, no me hagas perder más el tiempo ¿Hasta cuándo? Mira que esta sopa se me está enfriando, No me hagas perder mas el tiempo, mi vida No me hagas perder mas el tiempo, ¿Hasta cuándo? ¿Hasta cuándo? Que esta sopa se me esta enfriando	My life, until when? Even when?     Even when? My life, don’t waste my time anymore Even when? Look, this soup is getting cold, Don’t make me waste any more time, my life Don’t waste my time anymore, Even when? Even when? This soup is getting cold
