Lyrics and translation Panteón Rococó - Cosas del Ayer (Hoy y Siempre)

Cosas del Ayer (Hoy y Siempre)

Recuerdas esos dias en que todo iba bien
Donde el odio y la maldad eran de la tv
Cuando podias comprar esos viejos long plays
Cuado podias escuchar esos viejos LP's

Todo aparentaba paz y tranquilidad
Solo las buenas notas nos debian importar
Para el meiodia a casa regresar
Sin pensar que algun dia tendrian que crecer

Ay, ay, ay son cosas del ayer
Ay, ay, ay son cosas del ayer

Nunca pensaste si habia para comer
Pues la inocencia de la edad nunca te deja ver
Que tu padre, horas extra, se tenia que joder
Para poder a casa traer algo que comer

Verdaderos milagros tu madre tenia que hacer
Pues con unos centavos debia mantener
El sustento de tu hogar y poder mantener
A flote ese barco que debia naufragar

Ay, ay, ay son cosas del ayer
Ay, ay, ay son cosas del ayer

Pero nada es eterno, tenias que despertar
Porque el paso del tiempo nos hace reaccionar
Porque para la vida no existe un manual
Y a veces en muy dura la realidad

Ya podras darte cuenta de nuestra realidad
Estamos condenados al gusto de bailar
Ya podras darte cuenta, es nuestra especialidad
Estamos condenados al gusto de bailar

Y lo unico que queda, lo unico que queda
Lo unico que queda, lo unico que queda
Lo unico que queda, es vivir con dignidad

Things of the Past (Yesterday and Forever)

Do you remember those days when everything was fine
Where hatred and evil were only on TV
When you could buy old long plays
When you could listen to those old LP's

Everything seemed peaceful and tranquil
Only good grades should matter to us
Come home by noon
Without thinking that someday they would have to grow up

Oh, oh, oh, they are things of the past
Oh, oh, oh, they are things of the past

You never thought if there was food to eat
Because the innocence of youth never lets you see
That your father had to work overtime
To be able to bring something to eat home

Your mother had to perform real miracles
Because with a few cents she had to maintain
The sustenance of their home and be able to maintain
Afloat that ship that was bound to sink

Oh, oh, oh, they are things of the past
Oh, oh, oh, they are things of the past

But nothing lasts forever, you had to wake up
Because the passage of time makes us react
Because for life there is no manual
And sometimes reality is very harsh

You will now realize our reality
We are condemned to the pleasure of dancing
You will now realize, it is our specialty
We are condemned to the pleasure of dancing

And all that remains, all that remains
All that remains, all that remains
All that remains is to live with dignity
