Lyrics
Pensaba yo en estos tiempos
de incomprensiones y desencantos
y en tantas buenas razones
para so’ar sin desfallecer
y pensaba con nostalgia
de la inocencia de aquellos años
de esos primeros amores
que al recordar vuelven a nacer
Y recorro en mi memoria
aquellos tiempos de Carito
ella era una miss de Boston
que daba clase en la escuela
le gustaba el español
y aunque lo hablaba poquito
tenía esos ojos bonitos
que hablaban muy bien por ella
Carito me habla en inglés
que bonito se le ve
Carito me habla en inglés
que me dice yo no se
Carlitos don’t be like that
now listen to me you will pay attention
I need you to write in english
muy perfecto parragraph
and tell me where did you learn
donde tu aprender to be tan coqueto
remember nada de futbol
until you finish the work you have
Y me daba una sonrisa
y yo me quedaba loquito
y después en el examen
lo ponía todo al revés
Carito se fue del valle
yo la recuerdo cantando
porque me dejo muy triste
para su tierra se fue
Te llevaría para mi tierra
Carito dime que si que no me quiero morir
Carito don’t tell me no que me muero por tu amor
Que importa la raza
tampoco el idioma
si al fin lo que cuenta
es lo buena persona
si es del altiplano
o de tierra caliente
si al fin lo que vale
es que sea buena gente
Que importa su credo
si es hombre influyente
si al fin lo que cuenta
es la gente decente
no importa si es blanco
si es pobre y famoso
si al fin lo que vale
es que cante sabroso
Lyrics translation
I thought in these days
of misunderstandings and disenchantments
and in so many good reasons
to so'ar without fainting
and I was thinking with nostalgia
of the innocence of those years
of those first loves
that by remembering they are born again
And I go through my memory
those times of Carito
she was a miss from Boston
who taught at school
he liked Spanish
and even though he talked a little bit about it
she had those pretty eyes.
who spoke very well for her
Carito speaks to me in English
how beautiful it looks
Carito speaks to me in English
that tells me I don't know
Carlitos don't be like that
now listen to me you will pay attention
I need you to write in english
very perfect parragraph
and tell me where did you learn
where your learn to be so flirty
remember no football
until you finish the work you have
And he'd give me a smile
and I was going crazy
and then on the exam
it was all upside down.
Carito left the Valley
I remember her singing
because I'm so sad
to his land he went
I'd take you to my land
Dear, tell me I don't want to die.
Carito don't tell me no that I die for your love
What matters the race
neither is the language
if at last what counts
it's the good person
if it's from the altiplano
or hot earth
if at last what it's worth
is that they are good people
What does his creed matter
if he's an influential man
if at last what counts
it's decent people
it doesn't matter if it's White
if he's poor and famous
if at last what it's worth
is that it sings tasty
