Lyrics

Español

Barrio tranquilo de mi ayer, como un triste atardecer, a tu esquina vuelvo viejo... Vuelvo más viejo, la vida me ha cambiado... en mi cabeza un poco de plata me ha dejado. Yo fui viajero del dolor y en mi andar de soñador comprendí mi mal de vida, y cada beso lo borré con una copa, las mujeres siempre son las que matan la ilusión. (en un juego de ilusión repartí mi corazón.) Vuelvo vencido a la casita de mis viejos, cada cosa es un recuerdo que se agita en mi memoria, mis veinte abriles me llevaron lejos… locuras juveniles, la falta de consejo. Hay en la casa un hondo y cruel silencio huraño, y al golpear, como un extraño, me recibe el viejo criado… Habré cambiado totalmente, que el anciano por la voz tan sólo me reconoció. Pobre viejita la encontré enfermita; yo le hablé y me miró con unos ojos… Con esos ojos nublados por el llanto como diciéndome porqué tardaste tanto… Ya nunca más he de partir y a tu lado he de sentir el calor de un gran cariño… Sólo una madre nos perdona en esta vida, es la única verdad, es mentira lo demás.

English · machine translation

Quiet neighborhood of my yesterday, like a sad sunset, to your corner I return old... I come back older, life has changed me... in my head a little silver has left me. I was a traveler of pain and in my dreamer's wanderings I understood my evil of life, and every kiss I erased with a drink, women are always the ones who kill the illusion. (in a game of illusion I divided my heart). I return defeated to my parents' house, each thing is a memory that stirs in my memory, my twenty years took me far away... youthful follies, the lack of advice. There is in the house a deep and cruel sullen silence, and when I knock, like a stranger, I am received by the old servant... I must have changed so much, that the old man by my voice only recognized me. Poor old lady, I found her sick; I spoke to her and she looked at me with eyes... With those eyes clouded with tears as if telling me why it took you so long... I will never leave again and by your side I will feel the warmth of a great affection... Only a mother forgives us in this life, is the only truth, everything else is a lie.
