I Remember Clifford (Live At The Montreux Pavilion, Montreux, Switzerland/1972)

Que ironica es la vida, que yo nunca comprendia
Esos dichos que mi abuelo me decia
Pero al pasar el tiempo
Poco a poco fui entendiendo sus palabras llenas de sabiduria
Por mas que madrugaba, nunca amanecia temprano
La corriente muchas veces me dormia
Y sabia con quien andaba, pero no me imaginaba
Que una piedra con su mano tiraria
Por mas que me advertia que yo sufriria por ti
No quise ver lo que estaba pasando
Aunque el amor es ciego, todo se va pagando

Y COMO DICE EL DICHO no hay mal que dure cien años
Mucho mejor estar solo que mal acompañado
Y COMO DICE EL DICHO no hay mal que por bien no venga
Amor con amor se paga y hoy tu estas pagando

Despues de la tormenta puse tu amor a la venta
Y nuestro fuego se quedo en cenizas
Pero al pasar los años los refranes de mi abuelo
Me enseñaron que no hay que ir de prisa
Amor sin interes es lo que yo tenia por ti
Y tu interes le gano al sentimiento
Pero es que no te tengo y ya me siento mas tranquilo
Y de amarte ya hasta me arrepiento
Brillaste por tu ausencia aunque nunca fuiste oro
En mi vida fuiste un trago amargo
Hoy tengo santo nuevo
Ya tu no haces milagro

Y COMO DICE EL DICHO la vida te da sorpresas
Arbol que nace torcido, nunca su rama endereza
COMO DICE EL DICHO echando a perder se aprende
No sabes bien lo que tienes, COMO DICE EL DICHO

(Y camaron que se duerme se lo lleva la corriente)
(No por mucho madrugar amanece mas temprano)
(Que el que este libre de pecado que tire la primera piedra... yee)

Y COMO DICE EL DICHO la vida te da sorpresas
Arbol que nace torcido, nunca su rama endereza
COMO DICE EL DICHO echando a perder se aprende
No sabes bien lo que tienes, COMO DICE EL DICHO

COMO DICE EL DICHO

I Remember Clifford (Live At The Montreux Pavilion, Montreux, Switzerland/1972)

How ironic life is, that I never understood
Those sayings that my grandfather would tell me
But as time passed,
Little by little I began to understand his words full of wisdom
No matter how early I woke up, it would never get light early
Many times the current would put me to sleep
And I knew who I was with, but I couldn't imagine
That he would throw a stone with his hand
Even though he warned me that I would suffer because of you
I didn't want to see what was happening
Although love is blind, everything gets paid

AND AS THE SAYING GOES, there is no evil that lasts a hundred years
Much better to be alone than in bad company
AND AS THE SAYING GOES, there is no evil that does not come for good
Love is paid back with love, and today you are paying

After the storm, I put your love up for sale
And our fire turned to ashes
But as the years passed, my grandfather's sayings
Taught me that there is no need to rush
Love without interest is what I had for you
And your interest won out over feeling
But now that I don't have you, I feel much more at peace
And I even regret loving you
You shone by your absence, although you were never gold
In my life you were a bitter drink
Today I have a new saint
You no longer perform miracles

AND AS THE SAYING GOES, life gives you surprises
A tree that is born crooked, never straightens its branch
AS THE SAYING GOES, you learn by spoiling
You don't know what you have until you lose it, AS THE SAYING GOES

(And a shrimp that falls asleep is carried away by the current)
(No matter how early you get up, it doesn't get light any sooner)
(Let he who is without sin cast the first stone... yee)

AND AS THE SAYING GOES, life gives you surprises
A tree that is born crooked, never straightens its branch
AS THE SAYING GOES, you learn by spoiling
You don't know what you have until you lose it, AS THE SAYING GOES

AS THE SAYING GOES
