Ayer Nomás

Just Yesterday

Ayer Nomás

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
I was thinking if somedayPensaba yo si algún día
I could findPodría encontrar
Someone who could love meAlguien que me pudiera amar

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
A woman crossed my pathUna mujer en mi camino
Made me believeMe hizo creer
That loving her would make me happyQue amándola sería feliz

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
I held that woman in my armsEsa mujer tuve en mis brazos
And kissed her without reasonY la besé sin fundamento
Thought that’s how I’d be happyPensaba que así era feliz

Today I woke upHoy desperté
Thinking about herPensado en ella
And I realizedY me di cuenta
We were both wrongQue estábamos equivocados
Neither of us knew how to loveNinguno ya sabía amar

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
I was thinking if somedayPensaba yo si algún día
I could findPodría encontrar
Someone who could love meAlguien que me pudiera amar

Today I woke upHoy desperté
And saw the street and saw the peopleY vi la calle y vi la gente
Everything's gray and meaninglessEs todo gris y sin sentido
People live without believingLa gente vive sin creer

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
I thought I’d live my life happilyPensé vivir feliz mi vida
Today I understoodHoy comprendí
That I was happy just yesterdayQue era feliz ayer nomás

Original lyricsLetra original
Just yesterdayAyer nomás
In school they taught meEn el colegio me enseñaron
That this countryQue este país
Is big and has freedomEs grande y tiene libertad
Today I woke upHoy desperté
And saw my bed and saw my roomY vi mi cama y vi mi cuarto
This month I didn’t have much to eatEn este mes no tuve mucho que comer

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
My family told meMis familiares me decían
That today you need to haveQue hoy hay que tener
Money to be happyDinero para ser feliz
Today I woke upHoy desperté
And saw my bed and saw my roomY vi mi cama y vi mi cuarto
Everything's gray and meaninglessYa todo es gris y sin sentido
People live without believingLa gente vive sin creer

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
There was a girl in my roomHabía una chica en mi cuarto
And I kissed her without reasonY la besé sin fundamento
Today that girl is goneHoy ya la chica ya no está

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
I saw a girl in my armsVi una chica en mis brazos
This monthEn este mes
I didn’t have much to eatNo tuve mucho que comer

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
I went out to the street and saw the peopleSalí a la calle y vi la gente
Everything's gray and meaninglessYa todo es gris y sin sentido
People live without believingLa gente vive sin creer
Without believingSin creer
