Percal - Astor Piazzolla

Percal…

¿Te acuerdas del percal?

Tenias quince abriles,

anhelos de sufrir y amar,

de ir al centro, triunfar

y olvidar el percal.

Percal…

Camino del percal,

te fuiste de tu casa…

Tal vez nos enteramos mal.

Solo se que al final

te olvidaste el percal.

La juventud se fue…

Tu casa ya no está…

Y en el ayer tirados

se han quedado

acobardados

tu percal y mi pasado.

La juventud se fue…

Yo ya no espero más…

Mejor dejar perdidos

los anhelos que no han sido

y el vestido de percal.

Llorar…

¿Por qué vas a llorar…

¿Acaso no has vivido,

acaso no aprendiste a amar,

a sufrir, a esperar,

y también a callar?

Percal…

Son cosas del percal…

Saber que estás sufriendo

saber que sufrirás aún más

y saber que al final

no olvidaste el percal.

Percal…

Tristezas del percal.

Percale…

Do you remember percale?

You were fifteen years old,

longing to suffer and love,

to go to the center, succeed

and forget the percale.

Percale…

calico road,

you left home...

Maybe we got it wrong.

I only know that in the end

you forgot the percale.

Youth is gone...

Your house is no longer…

And in yesterday thrown away

they have stayed

chickened out

your percale and my past.

Youth is gone...

I don't wait anymore...

Better to leave lost

the longings that have not been

and the percale dress.

Mourn…

Why are you going to cry...

Haven't you lived

Didn't you learn to love,

to suffer, to wait,

and also to shut up?

Percale…

They are percale things...

Know that you are suffering

knowing that you will suffer even more

and knowing that in the end

you did not forget the percale.

Percale…

Percale sadness.
