Lyrics
Español
¿Quién vivió, quién vivió en estas casas de ayer? ¡Viejas casas que el tiempo bronceó! Patios viejos, color de humedad, con leyendas de noches de amor... Platinados de luna los vi y brillantes con oro de sol... Y hoy, sumisos, los veo esperar la sentencia que marca el avión... Y allá van, sin rencor, como va al matadero la res ¡sin que nadie le diga un adiós! Se van, se van... Las casas viejas queridas. demás están... Han terminado sus vidas. ¡Llegó el motor y su roncar ordena y hay que salir! El tiempo cruel con su buril carcome y hay que morir... Se van, se van... ¡Llevando a cuestas su cruz! ¡Como las sombras se alejan y esfuman ante la luz! El amor... El amor coronado de luz, esos patios también conoció Sus paredes guardaron la fe y el secreto sagrado de dos. Las caricias vivieron aquí... ¡Los suspiros cantaron pasión!... ¿Dónde fueron los besos de ayer? ¿Dónde están las palabras de amor? ¿Donde están ella y él? ¡Como todo, pasaron, igual que estas casas que no han de volver!...

Who lived, who lived in these houses of yesterday? Old houses that time has bronzed! Old courtyards, color of humidity, with legends of nights of love... Silvered with moonlight I saw them and shining with the gold of the sun... And today, submissive, I see them awaiting the sentence that marks the plane... And there they go, without rancor, as the cattle goes to the slaughterhouse without anyone saying goodbye! They go, they go... The dear old houses. others are... They have ended their lives. The engine has arrived and its roar orders and it is necessary to leave! The cruel time with its burin Eats away and we must die... They leave, they leave... Carrying their cross on their shoulders! As the shadows move away and vanish before the light! Love... Love crowned with light, those courtyards also knew Its walls guarded the faith and the sacred secret of two. Caresses lived here... Sighs sang passion!.... Where were the kisses of yesterday? Where are the words of love? Where are she and he? Like everything else, they passed away, just like these houses that will not return!...
