Lyrics

Español

Percal... ¿Te acuerdas del percal? Tenias quince abriles, anhelos de sufrir y amar, de ir al centro, triunfar y olvidar el percal. Percal... Camino del percal, te fuiste de tu casa... Tal vez nos enteramos mal. Solo se que al final te olvidaste el percal. La juventud se fue... Tu casa ya no está... Y en el ayer tirados se han quedado acobardados tu percal y mi pasado. La juventud se fue... Yo ya no espero más... Mejor dejar perdidos los anhelos que no han sido y el vestido de percal. Llorar... ¿Por qué vas a llorar?... ¿Acaso no has vivido, acaso no aprendiste a amar, a sufrir, a esperar, y también a callar? Percal... Son cosas del percal... Saber que estás sufriendo saber que sufrirás aún más y saber que al final no olvidaste el percal. Percal... Tristezas del percal.

Percale... Do you remember the percale? You were fifteen years old, longing to suffer and love, to go to the center, to triumph and forget the percale. Percale... On the way to the percal, you left home... Maybe we got it wrong. I only know that in the end you forgot the percale. Youth is gone... Your house is gone... And in yesterday's yesterday have been left and in the yesterday Your percale and my past. Youth is gone... I don't wait any longer... Better to leave lost the longings that have not been and the dress of percale. To cry... Why are you going to cry? Have you not lived, have you not learned to love, to suffer, to hope, and also to be silent? Percale... These are the things of the percale... Knowing that you are suffering knowing that you will suffer even more and to know that in the end you didn't forget the percale. Percale... Sadnesses of the percale.
