Someone like you

I heard that you're settled down


That you found a girl and you're married now

I heard that your dreams came true

Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?


Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it

I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded

That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you two

Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies

Only yesterday was the time of our lives


We were born and raised in a summer haze

Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it


I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded

That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you…

Nothing compares, no worries or cares

Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made

Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you…

Never mind, I'll find someone like you…

10 SIGNS YOU WERE BORN AND RAISED IN ARGENTINA

 BY LAURA BERNHEIN

1. You talk to everyone as if they’re part of your family.

You’d use the informal “vos” even with the Pope, who’d appreciate it, of course, because he’s Argentine.

2. You’re not afraid to kiss.

Greeting everyone with a kiss — the teachers, the waiters, etc. – is normal for you. And you send virtual kisses in every email written for work, love, or a fight: “Te mando un beso grande.”

3. If you see a car with a plastic bottle on its hood/roof, you know that…

It’s for sale! Nobody knows exactly where this custom came from, but it’s as universal as having asado on Sunday.

4. You know exactly what a bidet is for.

And you’d like to find them everywhere! Unfortunately, it seems like other countries are not interested in this convenient way to keep their “pudendas” clean.

5. You’ve pushed a broken-down car…more than once.

A friend’s, a neighbour’s, some stranger is in the middle of the highway. You ended up all sweaty and covered in grease/dirt, but with your new friends you had the satisfaction of having done your part to help, which is simply part of our culture.

6. You still have nightmares about dying after mixing wine and watermelon.

Considered a deadly and lethal combination, wine and watermelon are never found on the same table. What’s the science, exactly, behind this folk wisdom?

7. You begin each phrase with a long “Cheeee.”

“Che” is accompanied by any other appropriate word: the always effective “boludo/a” (or “asshole”) or the milder “¿viste?” (see?). And depending on context, you need the universally qualifying adjective “re.” So it’s like: “Cheeee, estoy re feliz. Me vi con Fulano el finde, ¿viste?”

8. You don’t believe that sharing a mate is sharing germs with your friends.

Or maybe you believe it but you don’t care. And you’d never (EVER) think of using your own mate in a group. Mate is for sharing.

9. Friends are…

People we love. Even if we grow up punching each other. We just eat dinner together and then like new we’re family again, because there’s no friend like an Argentine.

10. You’re born knowing that life is simple pleasures.

You cry easily and you laugh really hard at any phrase mentioned by your friends. You go from being furious to being the happiest person living on the planet. There’s always room for one more person at the table. There’s always a reason to make a toast, a joke, to discuss, to complain. You’re Argentine; you have an incomparable capacity to enjoy the simple things in life.
