Just Yesterday

Ayer Nomás

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 relatives told meMis familiares me decían
That today you needQue 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 is 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 the girl is no longer thereHoy 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 on the street and saw the peopleSalí a la calle y vi la gente
Everything is gray and meaninglessYa todo es gris y sin sentido
People live without believingLa gente vive sin creer
Without believing, without believingSin creer, sin creer
