Ayer Nomás

Just Yesterday

Ayer Nomás

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
I was thinking if one dayPensaba yo si algún día
I could findPodría encontrar
Someone who could love me.Alguien que me pudiera amar.

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

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
That woman in my armsEsa mujer entre mis brazos
And I kissed her without reasonY la besé sin fundamento
Thinking that would make me happy.Pensaba que así sería feliz.

Today I woke upHoy desperté
Thinking of herPensado en ella
And I realizedY me di cuenta
That we were wrongQue estábamos equivocados
Neither of us knew how to love.Ninguno ya sabía amar.

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
I was thinking if one dayPensaba yo si algún día
I could findPodría encontrar
Someone who could love me.Alguien que me pudiera amar.

Today I woke upHoy desperté
And I saw the face and saw the people,Y vi la cara y vi la gente,
Everything is gray and meaningless,Es todo gris y sin sentido,
People live without believing.La gente vive sin creer.

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
I thought I would live happily my lifePensé vivir feliz mi vida
Today I understoodHoy comprendí
That I was happy just yesterday.Que era feliz ayer nomás.

Original lyrics:Letra original:
Just yesterday,Ayer nomás,
In school they taught me,En el colegio me enseñaron,
That this countryQue este país
Is big and has freedom.Es 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 eat.En este mes no tuve mucho que comer.

Just yesterday,Ayer nomás,
My relatives told meMis familiares me decían
That today you needQue hoy hay que tener
Money to be happy.Dinero para ser feliz.
Today I woke up,Hoy desperté,
And saw my bed and saw my room,Y vi mi cama y vi mi cuarto,
Everything is gray and meaningless,Ya todo es gris y sin sentido,
People live without believing.La gente vive sin creer.

Just yesterday,Ayer nomás,
There was a girl in my roomHabía una chica en mi cuarto
And I kissed her without reason.Y la besé sin fundamento.
Today the girl is no longer there.Hoy ya la chica ya no está.

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
I saw a girl in my arms.Vi una chica en mis brazos.
This monthEn este mes
I didn't have much to eat.No tuve mucho que comer.

Just yesterdayAyer nomás
I went out on the street and saw the peopleSalí a la calle y vi la gente
Everything is gray and meaningless,Ya todo es gris y sin sentido,
People live without believing.La gente vive sin creer.
Without believing.Sin creer.
