Lyrics and translation Leon Gieco - Del Mismo Barro




Del Mismo Barro
From the Same Clay
Cuando tenía
When I was
Solo 18
Only 18
Llegaba a Buenos Aires
I arrived in Buenos Aires
Era marzo
It was March
De neblinas
With mist
Del tren bajé temblando
I got off the train trembling
Parecíamos
We seemed
Todos del mismo barro
All from the same clay
Los almendros
The almond trees
Saludaban
Greeted
Al último gran verano
The last great summer
Lamentaban
Lamenting
No hacer más sombra
Not making more shade
A unos gatos naufragando
For some shipwrecked cats
Parecíamos
We seemed
Esperanzas caminando
Hopes walking
Dónde quedó
Where is that
Esa canción
Song
Quizás adentro
Perhaps inside
Del corazón
The heart
Todavía
There was still
Quedaba algo
Something
Del libro de primer grado
From the first grade book
Se saludaban
They greeted
Los pelos largos
The long hairs
Cuando las calles se cruzaban
When the streets crossed
Parecíamos
We seemed
Todos del mismo barro
All from the same clay
Lucy, traía
Lucy, brought
Unos diamantes
Some diamonds
De un mundo inesperado
From an unexpected world
Francia en colores
France in colors
Del día domingo
Of Sunday
Marcha de los estudiantes
March of the students
Parecíamos
We seemed
Esperanzas caminando
Hopes walking
Dónde quedó
Where is that
Esa canción
Song
Quizás adentro
Perhaps inside
Del corazón
The heart
Nunca creímos
We never believed
Todo lo que nos pasó
All that happened to us
