Lyrics
Quien vivio, quien vivio
en esas casas de ayer,
viejas casas que el tiempo bronceo,
patios viejos color de humedad,
con leyendas de noches de amor.
Platinadas de luna las vi,
y brillantes con oro de sol,
y hoy sumiso las veo esperar,
la sentencia que marca el adios,
y alla van sin rencor,
como va al matadero la res,
sin que nadie le diga un adios.
Se van, se van,
las casas viejas queridas,
Demas estan, han terminado sus vidas.
Llego el motor y su roncar,
ordena que hay que salir.
El tiempo cruel, con su buril,
carcome y hay que morir.
Se van, se van,
llevando a cuestas su cruz,
como las sombras,
se alejan y esfuman, ante la luz
Se van, se van,
llevando a cuestas su cruz,
como las sombras,
se alejan y esfuman, ante la luz.
Lyrics translation
Who lived, who lived
in those houses of yesterday,
old houses that time Tan,
old patios moisture color,
with legends of nights of love.
Moon Platinadas I saw them,
and shining with Sun Gold,
and today submissive I see them waiting,
the sentence that marks the adios,
and there they go without a grudge,
how the beef goes to the slaughterhouse,
without anyone saying goodbye.
They're leaving, they're leaving,
dear old houses,
Others are, they have ended their lives.
Come the engine and its snoring,
order us out.
Cruel time, with its buril,
it eats and you have to die.
They're leaving, they're leaving,
carrying his cross,
like the shadows,
they go away and vanish, before the light
They're leaving, they're leaving,
carrying his cross,
like the shadows,
they go away and disappear, before the light.
