Mi querido amigo, proveniente de Atlanta, Estados Unidos, ha llegado a Medellín. Lo conocí mientras yo estaba en una sesión de jam musical y rápidamente nos volvimos muy amigos.

My dear friend from Atlanta, United States, has arrived in Medellín. I met him while I was at a musical jam session and we quickly became very close friends.

Desde entonces, hemos hecho varias canciones juntos, construyendo una hermosa sociedad creativa que cruza fronteras y culturas.

Since then, we have made several songs together, building a beautiful creative partnership that crosses borders and cultures.

Pero antes de empezar a producir con él, esta canción que él ya traía desarrollada desde Atlanta me encantó desde el primer momento en que la escuché.

But before we started producing together, this song that he had already developed from Atlanta captivated me from the very first moment I heard it.

Tuvimos la oportunidad de tocar esta pieza llamada "I Know We're Just Friends But", un tema que aborda una situación más común de lo que uno podría creer.

We had the opportunity to play this piece called "I Know We're Just Friends But", a song that addresses a situation more common than one might think.

No importa cuán diferente sea tu cultura, siempre existe ese amigo o esa amiga de quien terminamos enamorándonos sin haberlo planeado.

No matter how different your culture is, there is always that friend, male or female, whom we end up falling in love with without having planned it.

El dilema es real y universal: no queremos perder esa relación tan valiosa dando el siguiente paso arriesgado hacia el amor romántico.

The dilemma is real and universal: we don't want to lose that precious relationship by taking the risky next step toward romantic love.

Preferimos quedarnos en la zona segura de la amistad, aunque por dentro sintamos algo mucho más profundo que nos quema en silencio.

We prefer to stay in the safe zone of friendship, even though deep inside we feel something much deeper that silently burns within us.

Pero llega un momento en el cual esta situación se nos vuelve emocionalmente insostenible, cuando guardar el secreto duele más que arriesgarlo todo.

But there comes a moment when this situation becomes emotionally unsustainable for us, when keeping the secret hurts more than risking everything.

Entonces terminamos, como decimos en Venezuela, "soltando toda la sopa": confesando lo que sentimos sin filtros, sin medias tintas, con el corazón en la mano.

Then we end up, as we say in Venezuela, "soltando toda la sopa" (spilling all the soup): confessing what we feel without filters, without half measures, with our heart in our hand.

Esta canción captura perfectamente esa tensión entre el miedo a perder la amistad y la necesidad imperiosa de ser honestos con nuestros sentimientos más profundos.

This song perfectly captures that tension between the fear of losing the friendship and the imperative need to be honest with our deepest feelings.

Espero que disfruten esta interpretación que hicimos mi amigo y yo, dos culturas unidas por la música para contar una historia que nos pertenece a todos.

I hope you enjoy this interpretation that my friend and I made, two cultures united by music to tell a story that belongs to all of us.

¡No olviden comentar, rebloguear y votar si alguna vez han tenido que "soltar la sopa" con esa persona especial que comenzó siendo solo un amigo o amiga!

Don't forget to comment, reblog and vote if you've ever had to "spill the soup" with that special person who started out as just a friend!

Letra | Lyrics

My dirty mind is always playing tricks on me
I held your hand one time, and now you’re all I need
You’re like the car alarm that's blaring from the streets
You ring throughout my head when I should be asleep (but let me ask you)
When you’re up late at night, are you lonely?
Do you wish that I was there, or for anyone?
And I know we’re just friends, but I’m dreaming
That one day you’ll be ready for me, baby

[Chorus]
Love doesn’t seem so far away, does it?
I wish you were in love, and I wasn’t
The other way around is much harder to stomach
And I know you like to dance—
I’ll take you out tomorrow
Wе don’t need elaborate plans
Just me and you’s a start
All wе have is what we say
And we didn’t say it all
Just give me one more chance before no becomes never, uh uh uhhh
(la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la)

[Verse 2]
I wish we started this a few months down the line
When there’d be space between myself and your last guy
You complain about all that it took from you—
Was it being in a relationship? Or maybe it was just that dude (And let me tell you something)
I’ve been going on dates to not think about you
And obviously, that’s working well (so well, so well)
And I know we’re just friends, but I’m scheming—
I know one day, you’ll be ready for me, baby

[Chorus]
Love doesn’t seem so far away, does it?
I wish you were in love, and I wasn’t
The other way around is much harder to stomach
And I know you like to dance—
I’ll take you out tomorrow
We don’t need elaborate plans
Just me and you’s a start
All we have is what we say
And we didn’t say it all
Just give me one more chance before no becomes never

[Bridge]
And you wanna know the worst part?
Right when I finally showed you
I went together with you, (oh, no)
You heard me out and consoled me
But in the same breath as when you told me, you didn’t want me, it couldn’t wait until the morn'

[Chorus]
Baby
Love doesn’t seem so far away, does it?
I wish you were in love, and I wasn’t
The other way around is much harder to stomach
And I know you like to dance—
I’ll take you out tomorrow
We don’t need elaborate plans
Just me and you’s a start
All we have is what we say
And we didn’t say it all
Just give me one more chance before no becomes never
