Lyrics

Se ocultaba en los pilares
De los viejos pasadizos
Para esconder el hijo
Que pronto le iba a llegar
Fue difícil esconder
En un pobre delantal
Los tres meses de más
Y salía del colegio
Con un siete en la libreta
Y en el vientre una cometa
Que pronto querrá volar
Y se iba a caminar
Y se iba a preguntar
Por las calles, sin final
Y se fue donde un cura
Quien le dijo era pecado
Y muy pronto un abogado
Le habló de lo legal
Y fue el profesor de ciencias
Quien le habló de la inconsciencia
De la juventud actual…
De la juventud actual…
Los que juzgan
No han sentido
El amor, el dolor
Y en el vientre
Unos latidos…
Y se enredan en prejuicios
Y el amor, se quedó
En unos cuantos latidos…
Y sobraron los consejos
Que le hablaban de pastillas
De una vieja mujercilla
Que el trabajo lo hace bien
No faltó la buena amiga
Esa amiga entre comillas
Que le dio una dirección
Y salió desde el colegio
En una fría mañana
Cuando la vieja campana
Aún no daba su talán
Mientras el profe de ciencias
Hablaba de la inconsciencia
De la juventud actual…
Cuando Agosto era 21
La encontraron boca arriba
Con la mirada perdida
Y su viejo delantal
Y en el bolso de colegio
Dibujado un corazón
Que decía tú y yo…
Que decía tú y yo…
Los que juzgan
No han sentido…

Lyrics translation

It was hidden in the pillars
Of the old passageways
To hide the son
That soon it would come to him
It was hard to hide
In a poor Apron
The three more months
And I was leaving school
With a seven in the book
And in the belly a kite
Who will soon want to fly
And he was going to walk
And he was going to wonder
Through the streets, no end
And went to a priest
Who told him it was sin
And very soon a lawyer
He told her about the legal thing.
And he was the science teacher
Who told you about unconsciousness
Of today's youth…
Of today's youth…
Those who judge
They haven't felt
Love, pain
And in the belly
Heartbeat…
And they become entangled in prejudice
And Love, stayed
In a few beats…
And there was plenty of advice
They talked about pills
Of an old woman
That the job does well
There was no shortage of the good friend
That friend in quotes
That gave him an address
And he left school
On a cold morning
When the old Bell
He wasn't giving his Talan yet.
While the science teacher
I was talking about unconsciousness.
Of today's youth…
When August was 21
They found her on her back.
With the lost look
And his old Apron
And in the school bag
Drawn a heart
What you and I were saying…
What you and I were saying…
Those who judge
They haven't felt…
