Veinte Años - Jose Luis Perales

Le conoció cuando era joven todavía

Y se casó de traje blanco y por la iglesia

Y se cansó a los cuatro días de mirarlo

Y se fue armando poco a poco de paciencia

En el espejo, se preguntaba si en verdad era feliz

Y se empeñaba en ensayar una sonrisa para él

Para tratar de conquistarle un día más

Estaban solos, entre los dos no se cruzaba una palabra

Ella tomaba su café y el se dormía en su sillón

Mientras cantaba un gorrión en el jardín

Son veinte años junto a él, quién lo diría

Y se han dormido en el jardín las primaveras

Pero no hay tiempo de pensar, se le hizo tarde

Y hay cuatro niños que regresan de la escuela

En el espejo, se preguntaba si en verdad era feliz

Y se empeñaba en ensayar una sonrisa para él

Para tratar de conquistarle un día más

Estaban solos, entre los dos no se cruzaba una palabra

Ella tomaba su café y el se dormía en su sillón

Mientras cantaba un gorrión en el jardín

Son veinte años junto a él, quién lo diría

Y se han dormido en el jardín las primaveras

Pero no hay tiempo de pensar, se le hizo tarde

Y hay cuatro niños que regresan de la escuela

Pero no hay tiempo de pensar, se le hizo tarde

Y hay cuatro niños que regresan de la escuela

met him when he was still young

And she got married in a white suit and for the church

And she got tired after four days of looking at it

And she gradually armed herself with patience

In the mirror, she wondered if she was really happy.

And she insisted on rehearsing a smile for him

To try to conquer him one more day

They were alone, between the two not a word was exchanged

She drank her coffee from him and he fell asleep in his chair

While she sang a sparrow in the garden

They are twenty years with him, who would say

And the springs have fallen asleep in the garden

But there is no time to think, she was late

And there are four children coming home from school

In the mirror, she wondered if she was really happy.

And she insisted on rehearsing a smile for him

To try to conquer him one more day

They were alone, between the two not a word was exchanged

She drank her coffee from him and he fell asleep in his chair

While she sang a sparrow in the garden

They are twenty years with him, who would say

And the springs have fallen asleep in the garden

But there is no time to think, she was late

And there are four children coming home from school

But there is no time to think, he was late

And there are four children coming home from school
