Lyrics
A veces esperando las oportunidades
No se ven y se tira todo a la marchanta
Y vos tan orgullosa que nunca me avisaste
Que también fuiste mía aquel verano…
Mirando las golondrinas en el cielo
No se ven otras golondrinas al alcance de la mano
Es cuando la estupidez gana por afano
A la suerte que nunca llega si la estamos esperando
¿Cómo? ,¿cuándo? y ¿Por qué?
Son demasiadas preguntas para hacerle al destino
A veces estamos finos y otras veces nada que ver
Pues hay que caminar antes de empezar a correr
La culpa es un invento muy poco generoso
Y el tiempo tremendo invento sabandija
Será que será suficiente con que uno elija
Porque si no la buena fortuna pasa de largo
Y vos tan orgullosa que nunca me avisaste
Que tal vez, fuiste mía un verano…
Y vos tan orgullosa que nunca me avisaste
Que tal vez, fuiste mía un verano…
Lyrics translation
Sometimes waiting for opportunities
They don't see each other and they throw everything at the marchanta
And you were so proud that you never told me
That you were mine that summer too…
Looking at the Swallows in the sky
You don't see other Swallows at your fingertips
That's when stupidity wins by heart
To luck that never comes if we're waiting for her
How? when? and why?
That's too many questions to ask fate.
Sometimes we are thin and sometimes nothing to see
Well, you have to walk before you start running.
Guilt is a very ungenerous invention
And the tremendous time I invent scoundrel
Will it be enough for one to choose
Because if not good fortune passes by
And you were so proud that you never told me
That maybe, you were mine one summer…
And you were so proud that you never told me
That maybe, you were mine one summer…
