Spanish term or phrase: a medio (leer, tomar)
En otra canción, titulada "Pienso en ti":

"Sentada aquí
Viendo llover
Con un libro **a medio** leer
Y un café **a medio** tomar
Y una canción sin terminar"

La traducción la hago para una cantante quien le quiere hacer llegar el sentido de su canción a su productor quien no habla español. Por esta razón, no es indispensable la rima
