Ella y Él
Pedro Suárez-Vértiz
She and He
She has his look, his nose, and his knees
All the features of her parent
And, although she looks very much like him, she thinks he didn't love her
Because, according to her, he abandoned her
Suddenly he left, he left, he left
To never return, he left
When he told her: Your parents won't be together anymore
She ran aimlessly, her soul shattered
He never said I love you again, she was never a child again
Until that day, the world was just the two of them
Alone, she and he, she and he, she and he
Alone, she and he, she and he
She sleeps with her mother since that day
When her father left with another love
Now she feels that men's love is a lie
Because he loved her and then walked away
Since that time, everything is upside down
Who can understand yesterday?
When she was already grown, she surrendered on a hill
Watching stars with someone who truly loved her
For a moment, she owned her life
But the memory never faded
Of when she went swimming with her father at the pool
And he watched her until the sun went down
Or when they listened to Mecano parked on the corner
And she sang with all her heart
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Time has passed, she works, she has made her life
We met and she told me all this
At that moment, her father called, the one who gave and took her life
Come, my daughter, come, for I am leaving
The doctors have spoken to me, I want you to tell me something
She silently shed a tear
Then she whispered I love you and he said I knew
I just wanted to hear it from your voice
She is with him, she and he, like yesterday
Nothing is upside down this time
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
