Lyrics

Lo conoció cuando era joven todavía
y se caso de traje blanco y por la iglesia
y se canso a los cuatro dias de mirarlo
y se fue armando poco a poco de pasiencia.
En el espejo se preguntaba si en verdad era feliz
y se empeñaba en ensayar una sonriza para él
para tratar de conquistarle un dia más.
Estaban solos entre los dos no se cruzaba una palabra
ella tomaba su café y el se dormía en su sillón
mientras cantaba un gorrión en el jardín.
Son veinte años junto a él, quién lo diría
que se han dormido en el jardin las primaveras
pero no hay tiempo de pensar se le hizo tarde
y hay cuatro niños que regresan de la escuela.
En el espejo se preguntaba si en verdad era feliz
y se empeñaba en ensayar una sonriza para él
para tratar de conquistarle un dia mas.
Estaban solos entre los dos no se cruzaba una palabra
ella tomaba su café y el se dormía en su sillón
mientras cantaba un gorrion en el jardin.
Son veinte años junto a él quien lo diría
que se han dormido en el jardín las primaveras
pero no hay tiempo de pensarlo se le hizo tarde
y hay cuatro niños que regresan de la escuela.
Pero no hay tiempo de pensarlo se le hizo tarde
y hay cuatro niños que regresan de la escuela.

Lyrics translation

He met him when he was still young
and she got married in white suit and by the church
and he got tired after four days of looking at him
and he gradually began to arouse passion.
In the mirror he wondered if he was really happy
and tried to rehearse a smile for him
to try to win him one more day.
They were alone between the two did not cross a word
she drank his coffee and he slept on his couch
while singing a Sparrow in the garden.
It's twenty years with him, who would say
who have fallen asleep in the garden the springs
but there's no time to think it got late
and there are four kids coming back from school.
In the mirror he wondered if he was really happy
and tried to rehearse a smile for him
to try to win him one more day.
They were alone between the two did not cross a word
she drank his coffee and he slept on his couch
while singing a Sparrow in the garden.
It is twenty years with him who would say so
who have fallen asleep in the Garden Springs
but there's no time to think about it.
and there are four kids coming back from school.
But there's no time to think about it.
and there are four kids coming back from school.
