Lyrics

Ayer nomás
Pensaba yo si algún día
Podría encontrar
Alguien que me pudiera amar
Ayer nomás
Una mujer en mi camino
Me hizo creer
Que amándola sería feliz
Ayer nomás
Esa mujer entre mis brazos
Y la besé sin fundamento
Pensaba que así sería feliz
Hoy desperté
Pensado en ella
Y me di cuenta
Que estábamos equivocados
Ninguno ya sabía amar
Ayer nomás
Pensaba yo si algún día
Podría encontrar
Alguien que me pudiera amar
Hoy desperté
Y vi la cara y vi la gente
Es todo gris y sin sentido
La gente vive sin creer
Ayer nomás
Pensé vivir feliz mi vida
Hoy comprendí
Que era feliz ayer nomás
Letra original:
Ayer nomás
En el colegio me enseñaron
Que este país
Es grande y tiene libertad
Hoy desperté
Y vi mi cama y vi mi cuarto
En este mes no tuve mucho que comer
Ayer nomás
Mis familiares me decían
Que hoy hay que tener
Dinero para ser feliz
Hoy desperté
Y vi mi cama y vi mi cuarto
Ya todo es gris y sin sentido
La gente vive sin creer
Ayer nomás
Había una chica en mi cuarto
Y la besé sin fundamento
Hoy ya la chica ya no está
Ayer nomás
Vi una chica en mis brazos
En este mes
No tuve mucho que comer
Ayer nomás
Salí a la calle y vi la gente
Ya todo es gris y sin sentido
La gente vive sin creer
Sin creer

Lyrics translation

Just yesterday
I thought if one day
I could find
Someone who could love me
Just yesterday
A woman in my way
He made me believe
That loving her would be happy
Just yesterday
That woman in my arms
And I kissed her without foundation
I thought I'd be happy.
I woke up today.
Thought of it
And I realized
That we were wrong
No one ever knew how to love
Just yesterday
I thought if one day
I could find
Someone who could love me
I woke up today.
And I saw the face and I saw the people
It's all gray and meaningless
People live without believing
Just yesterday
I thought I'd live my life happily
Today I understood
That I was just happy yesterday
Original letter:
Just yesterday
At school they taught me
That this country
It's big and it's got freedom
I woke up today.
And I saw my bed and I saw my room
This month I didn't have much to eat
Just yesterday
My relatives used to tell me
That today we must have
Money to be happy
I woke up today.
And I saw my bed and I saw my room
Everything is gray and meaningless
People live without believing
Just yesterday
There was a girl in my room.
And I kissed her without foundation
Today the girl is gone
Just yesterday
I saw a girl in my arms
In this month
I didn't have much to eat.
Just yesterday
I went out into the street and saw people
Everything is gray and meaningless
People live without believing
Without believing
