Como si fuéramos desconocidos As if we were strangers

Tía, ¿qué te pasa? Llevas toda la tarde sin decir nada.

Girl, what's wrong? You haven't said a word all afternoon.

Ayer me encontré con Diego en el mercado y me quedé de piedra.

Yesterday I ran into Diego at the market, and I was stunned.

¿Por qué? ¿Qué te dijo?

Why? What did he say to you?

Nada, ese es el problema. Me saludó como si nada y me habló del tiempo, como si fuéramos desconocidos.

Nothing, that's the problem. He said hi as if nothing happened and talked to me about the weather, as if we were strangers.

¿Del tiempo? ¡Qué fuerte! ¿Y tú qué hiciste?

The weather? No way! And what did you do?

Fingir, igual que él. Sonreí como si no me importara.

Pretending, just like him. I smiled as if I didn't care.

Pues disimulas fatal, guapa: se te nota todo en la cara.

Well, you're terrible at hiding it, girl: it's written all over your face.

Es que desde hace un mes me escribe poco y esquiva todas mis preguntas. Se está alejando de mí.

It's just that for a month now he's barely been writing to me, and he dodges all my questions. He's pulling away from me.

A lo mejor le da miedo enfrentarse al problema y hablar claro.

Maybe he's scared to face the problem and talk openly.

Puede ser. Pero me trata como si yo fuera una compañera de trabajo, como si no tuviéramos nada que contarnos.

Could be. But he treats me as if I were a coworker, as if we had nothing to tell each other (woman speaking).

Oye, ¿me estás hablando de una ruptura?

Hey, are you telling me about a breakup?

No puede haber ruptura: ni siquiera somos pareja. Pero siento que me ha dado la espalda, y duele igual.

There can't be a breakup: we're not even a couple. But I feel like he's turned his back on me, and it hurts just the same.

No hagas una tragedia, mujer. Diego no es cruel: algo le pasa y no sabe cómo decírtelo.

Don't make a tragedy out of it. Diego isn't cruel: something's going on with him, and he doesn't know how to tell you.

Pues que me lo diga. ¡Ni que fuera un adolescente!

Well then, let him tell me. You'd think he was a teenager!

Ojalá fuera tan fácil. ¿Por qué no le escribes tú?

I wish it were that easy. Why don't you write to him yourself?

Porque siempre soy yo la que escribe. Ojalá me llamara él por una vez.

Because I'm always the one who writes (woman speaking). I wish he'd call me himself for once.

Ojalá te llame. Todavía puede pasar, ya verás.

I hope he calls you. It can still happen, you'll see.

Tienes razón: ojalá me llame. Y si no, ya veré qué hago.

You're right: I hope he calls me. And if not, I'll figure out what to do.
