Lyrics

Español

Ayer, en un banco de la vieja plaza que adorna mi pueblo donde yo nací, comprobé con pena que la vida pasa, que la vida pasa llevándome a mí. Y he tardado tanto para comprenderlo, tuvo que alejarse la que yo adoré para darme cuenta que así sin saberlo prendida en sus labios moría mi fe. Sentado en el banco, recordé las tardes en que muy juntitos tejimos los dos el romance ardiente de un cariño sano, loco provinciano que soñó un amor. Ella era una diosa que llegó a mi pueblo a olvidar su hastío, vencida tal vez, se arrulló en mi canto, divina y tirana, y una gris mañana me besó y se fue. Y he quedado solo, con mis pensamientos, en la vieja plaza que me vio crecer, que escuchó en silencio tantos juramentos mentiras piadosas de aquella mujer. Cuántos sueños locos, forjó mi embeleso cuando en su regazo su voz me arrulló. Ave pasajera que ansiosa de besos se posó en mi boca, me besó y partió. Sentado en el banco, recordé las tardes en que muy juntitos tejimos los dos el romance ardiente de un cariño sano, loco provinciano que soñó un amor. Ella era una diosa que llegó a mi pueblo a olvidar su hastío, vencida tal vez, se arrulló en mi canto, divina y tirana, y una gris mañana me besó y se fue.

English · machine translation

Yesterday, on a bench in the old square that adorns my village where I was born, I saw with sorrow that life goes by, that life goes by taking me with it. And it took me so long to understand it, the one I adored had to move away to realize that without knowing it my faith was dying on her lips. Sitting on the bench, I remembered the afternoons when the two of us had weaved together the ardent romance of a healthy affection, provincial madman who dreamed of a love. She was a goddess who came to my village to forget her boredom, perhaps defeated, she lulled herself to sleep in my song, divine and tyrant, and one gray morning she kissed me and left. And I am left alone, with my thoughts, in the old square that saw me grow up, that listened in silence to so many oaths pious lies of that woman. How many crazy dreams, she forged my rapture when in her lap her voice lulled me. Passing bird that anxious for kisses landed on my mouth, kissed me and departed. Sitting on the bench, I remembered the afternoons when very close together we weaved the two of us the ardent romance of a healthy affection, provincial madman who dreamed of a love. She was a goddess who came to my village to forget her boredom, perhaps defeated, she lulled herself to sleep in my song, divine and tyrant, and one gray morning she kissed me and left.
