Lyrics
Percal…
¿Te acuerdas del percal?
Tenias quince abriles,
anhelos de sufrir y amar,
de ir al centro, triunfar
y olvidar el percal.
Percal…
Camino del percal,
te fuiste de tu casa…
Tal vez nos enteramos mal.
Solo se que al final
te olvidaste el percal.
La juventud se fue…
Tu casa ya no está…
Y en el ayer tirados
se han quedado
acobardados
tu percal y mi pasado.
La juventud se fue…
Yo ya no espero más…
Mejor dejar perdidos
los anhelos que no han sido
y el vestido de percal.
Llorar…
¿Por qué vas a llorar…
¿Acaso no has vivido,
acaso no aprendiste a amar,
a sufrir, a esperar,
y también a callar?
Percal…
Son cosas del percal…
Saber que estás sufriendo
saber que sufrirás aún más
y saber que al final
no olvidaste el percal.
Percal…
Tristezas del percal.
Lyrics translation
Calico…
Remember the percale?
You had fifteen abriles.,
longing to suffer and love,
to go to the center, to succeed
and forget the percale.
Calico…
Percale road,
you left your house…
Maybe we found out wrong.
I just know that in the end
you forgot the percale.
Youth is gone…
Your house is gone…
And in the yesterday thrown
they've stayed
cowards
your percale and my past.
Youth is gone…
I don't wait any longer…
Better to leave Lost
the yearnings that have not been
and the percale dress.
Cry…
Why are you going to cry…
Have you not lived,
didn't you learn to love,
to suffer, to wait,
and also to shut up?
Calico…
It's percale stuff.…
Knowing that you're suffering
knowing that you will suffer even more
and know that in the end
you didn't forget the percale.
Calico…
Percale sorrows.
