Lyrics and translation Mercedes Sosa con Joan Manuel Serrat - Aquellas pequeñas cosas




Aquellas pequeñas cosas
Small things
Uno se cree
One thinks
Que las mató
That he killed them
El tiempo y la ausencia.
Time and distance.
Pero su tren
But his train
Vendió boleto
Sold tickets
De ida y vuelta.
There and back.
Son aquellas pequeñas cosas,
There are those small things,
Que nos dejó un tiempo de rosas
Which a time like a rose has left us
En un rincón,
In a corner,
En un papel
On a piece of paper
O en un cajón.
Or in a drawer.
Como un ladrón
Like a robber
Te acechan detrás de la puerta.
They lie in wait for you behind the door.
Te tienen tan
They have you so
A su merced
At their mercy
Como hojas muertas
Like dead leaves
Que el viento arrastra allá o aquí,
That the wind drifts this way and that,
Que te sonríen tristes y
That smile at you sadly and
Nos hacen que
Make us
Lloremos cuando
Cry when
Nadie nos ve.
No one can see us.





Writer(s): Juan Manuel Serrat Teresa
