Lyrics

Ternura
Cuanto tiempo sin saber de tí
Me he echo viejo esperando el momento
De volverte a encontrar… ternura
Si supieras como te extrañé
Cuantas noches soñando despierto
Te volvía a llamar
Todo es tán distinto desde que tú no éstas
Nada me ha devuelto aquella complicidad
Hoy encuentro rápido un momento de amor
De un amor vacío y frío sín ilusión
Sí, misterío, sí, sin nervios, poco natural
Ternura, si pudieras solo imaginar
El vacío que tengo en mis manos
Y lo torpes que están
No encuentro esa música que fue tu voz
Cuando hablabas de cosas sencillas
Y no quise escuchar
Fui tan ignorante que no supe entender
El valor de un beso y lo eché todo a perder
Quise hacerme un hombre en una cama mayor
Y perdí lo único que tuvo valor
Tú, ternura, tus caricias, todo tu calor
Perdona… Yo no sé… si seguirás igual
Es posible que te hayan cambiado
El dolor y la edad… no me hables
Que quisiera… recordarte así
Yo prefiero llamarte, ternura…
Y no verte jamás.

Lyrics translation

Gentleness
How long without knowing about you
I got old waiting for the moment
To find you again... tenderness
If you knew how I missed you
How many nights dreaming awake
I was calling you back.
Everything's so different since you're not here
Nothing has returned that complicity
Today I quickly find a moment of love
Of an empty and cold love without illusion
Yes, mystery, yes, no nerves, unnatural
Tenderness, if you could just imagine
The emptiness in my hands
And how clumsy they are
I can't find that music that was your voice
When you talked about simple things
And I didn't want to hear
I was so ignorant I couldn't understand
The value of a kiss and I threw it all away
I wanted to become a man in a big bed
And I lost the only thing that had value
You, tenderness, your caresses, all your warmth
Sorry ... I don't know ... if you'll stay the same
You may have been changed
Pain and age ... don't talk to me
That I would like to ... remember you like this
I prefer to call you, tenderness…
And never see you.
