A Lo-Fi Tapestry

Lyrics that Whisper Longing
The lyrics of “Casi Algo” are a poetic exploration of a blossoming, yet hesitant, connection. Lines like “Decime que hago con el chat si lo archivamos / O como la historia de insta nos destacamos” (Tell me what to do with the chat if we archive it / Or how do we stand out on each other’s Instagram stories) and “Me la paso pensando en tu boca / Es que yo ya lo intenté con otras pero no son como vos” (I spend my time thinking about your mouth / It’s that I’ve tried with others, but they’re not like you) hint at a yearning for something more, a desire that remains unspoken.

LETRA:
Decime que hago con el chat si lo archivamos
o como la historia de insta nos destacamos
decime si la seguimos o nos bloqueamos
o mandame la ubi que nos reencontramos
Me la paso mirando tu foto
twitteando corazones rotos
quiero saber que pasa con nosotros
Estoy a nada de decirte esto
yo te propongo algo directo
tomamos de mas hasta desconocernos
busquemos una excusa para vernos (x2)
Pero..
Con vos me quede loco, pasame una carita que estoy roto
Me la paso mirando tu foto, esto no lo vas a sentir con otro
Beba ya no quiero a otra
Me la paso pensando en tu boca
es que yo ya lo intente con otras, pero no son como vos. (x2)
Estoy a nada de decirte esto
yo te propongo algo directo
tomamos de mas hasta desconocernos
busquemos una excusa para vernos (x2)
Me la paso mirando tu foto
twitteando corazones rotos
quiero saber que pasa con nosotros
Desde que te vi me quede loco, pasame una curita que estoy roto.
Ian Lucas, dielo suena, milthon.
Y para vos también amor..
