Lyrics

Cuando mi amiga de enfrente me sonrió
de reojo me preguntaste: '… te gusta?'
te contesté: '…no es gran cosa'
pero yo me puse rojo
Cuando mi amiga de enfrente se me acercó
en el kiosco, me preguntaste: '…qué quiere?'
'…qué quiere quién?', yo te dije
y al mentir me puse rojo
Perdona, perdona
son cosas que pasan
son horas de gran soledad
son días de nada
Perdona, perdona
son cosas que pasan
y no pasarían
si yo te importara
Cuando mi amiga de enfrente al verte
volvió su rostro, dijiste tú: '…qué le pasa?'
'…será que estás guapa…', dije
pero yo me puse rojo
Cuando a la noche siguiente no pude amarte
a fondo me preguntaste: '…qué ocurre?'
'se te acumula el trabajo?'
me callé y me puse rojo
Perdona, perdona
son cosas que pasan
son horas de gran soledad
son días de nada
Perdona, perdona
son cosas que pasan
y no pasarían
si yo te importara
Cuando mi amiga de enfrente te lo contó
un día todo, me preguntaste: '…la quieres?'
te respondí: '…es más joven…'
me callé y bajé los ojos…

Lyrics translation

When my friend across the street smiled at me
you asked me: '... do you like it?'
I said, " it's no big deal."
but I turned red
When my friend across the street approached me
at the newsstand, you asked me, ' what does he want?'
'... what does who want?'I told you
and when I lied I turned red
Sorry, sorry
these are things that happen
these are hours of great solitude
these are days of nothing
Sorry, sorry
these are things that happen
and they wouldn't pass
if you cared about me
When my friend across the street to see you
he turned his face, you said: '... what's wrong with him?'
'...are you beautiful... ' I said
but I turned red
When the next night I couldn't love you
you asked me: '... what is it?'
'does your job pile up?'
I shut up and turned red
Sorry, sorry
these are things that happen
these are hours of great solitude
these are days of nothing
Sorry, sorry
these are things that happen
and they wouldn't pass
if you cared about me
When my friend across the street told you
one day, you asked me, ' do you love her?'
I said,'she's younger...'
I shut up and lowered my eyes…
