Lyrics
Cuando Pedro salió a su ventana
No sabia, mi amor, no sabia
Que la luz de esa clara mañana
Era luz de su ultimo día
Y las causas lo fueron cercando
Cotidianas, invisibles
Y el azar se le iba enredando
Poderoso, invencible
Cuando Juan regresaba a su lecho
No sabia, oh!, alma querida
Que en la noche lluviosa y sin techo
Le esperaba el amor de su vida
Y las causas lo fueron cercando
Cotidianas, invisibles
Y el azar se le iba enredando
Poderoso, invencible
Cuando acabe este verso que canto
Yo no se, yo no se, madre mía
Si me espera la paz o el espanto
Si el ahora, o si el todavía
Pues las causas me andan cercando
Cotidianas, invisibles
Y el azar se me viene enredando
Poderoso, invencible
Lyrics translation
When Peter went out to his window
I didn't know, my love, I didn't know
Let the light of that clear morning
It was the light of his last day
And the causes were surrounding him
Everyday, invisible
And Chance was getting in his way
Powerful, invincible
When John returned to his bed
I didn't know, oh! dear soul
That in the rainy night and homeless
The love of his life was waiting for him
And the causes were surrounding him
Everyday, invisible
And Chance was getting in his way
Powerful, invincible
When I finish this verse I sing
I don't know, I don't know, Mother
If peace or horror awaits me
If the now, or if the still
Because the causes surround me
Everyday, invisible
And I'm getting tangled up by chance
Powerful, invincible
