La Vela Puerca "El viejo" lyrics

Translation to:deen

El viejo

A cabecilla despierta, orgullo de su mamáEl niño creció en su casa de adolescente quiere asomarResbalando las veredas, el barrio lo encandilóDando vueltas las esquinas tocó placeres, tocó dolor

Se enamoró de la vida todos los días todas las nochesDesayuno con las damas, la cena se la salteóVa caminando sin rumbo lleva la calma del vagabundoPero dejando la vida, donde mande la ocasión

Viejo divino ¿ dónde vas?Yo sé muy bien que no querés mirar atrásFinal amargo solo queda hoy un perro flacoY el fondo de un vino pa’ entibiar

Después de las juventudes, cansado de tropezarSe busca una buena esposa y 14 horas pa’ trabajarPero algunos pajaritos, no se pueden encerrarSe les va penando el alma de pronto ya no quieren cantar

Se desparramó la foto después de entrado a los 40Y casi sin darse cuenta, alcohólico se volvióY fue bajando escalones muchos inviernos a la derivaLas vueltas que da la vida, en la calle terminó

Viejo divino ¿dónde vas?Yo sé muy bien que no querés mirar atrásFinal amargo solo queda hoy un perro flacoY el fondo de un vino pa’ entibiar

Viejo divino ¿dónde vas?Yo sé muy bien que no querés mirar atrásFinal amargo solo queda hoy un perro flacoY el fondo de un vino pa’ entibiarY el fondo de un vino pa’ entibiar y un perro flacoY el fondo de un vino pa’ entibiar

The Old Man

The little head wakes up, his mother's prideHe grew up at home and as a teenager wants to look aroundSkateboarding the sidewalks, the neighborhood dazzled himTurning the corners he touched pleasures, and he touched pain

He fell in love with life every day and every nightBreakfasted with fine ladies, and skipped dinnerGoes walking without purpose with the calm of the vagabondLetting life set his course and each occasion direct his days

Divine old man, where are you going?I know very well that you don't want to look backBitter end, all that's left today is a scrawny dogAnd the depths of a wine bottle to lend warmth

After youth was over, weary from making misstepsHe looks for a good wife and fourteen hours' worth of workBut some birds cannot survive in a cageTheir soul is grieving and suddenly they lose the will to sing

The picture fell and shattered well into his fortiesAlmost without realizing, he became an alcoholicHe kept descending steps, many winters further adriftLife takes turn after turn and he ended up on the street

Divine old man, where are you going?I know very well that you don't want to look backBitter end, all that's left today is a scrawny dogAnd the depths of a wine bottle to lend warmth

Divine old man, where are you going?I know very well that you can't look backBitter end, all that's left today is a scrawny dogAnd the depths of a wine bottle to lend warmthAnd the depths of a wine bottle to lend warmth

A scrawny dogAnd the depths of a wine bottle to lend warmth
