La Ventana (A Janela)
Roberto Carlos
The Window
Through the window, freedom
From a path I can see
My thoughts fly freely
In dreams far from where I am
At times I wonder how far
That path can lead us
So many people have regretted
And I will think, I will think
How many times I thought
About leaving my home but gave up
Because I know outside I wouldn't have
What I have now here
My father advises me
My mother talks without knowing
That I have my problems
And that sometimes I must solve them alone
Life's things, clash of opinions
Life's things, life's things
Again I think of going far away
And starting over
Walking through this world
Where there's so much to face
I think of wandering aimlessly through the streets
At night and without thinking
About what I'll say at home
To please everyone
Life's things, clash of opinions
Life's things, life's things
I reflect and convince myself
That here is my place
Outside sometimes it rains
And it's almost certain that maybe
I'll miss
The night is always cold
When you don't have a roof with love
And I have that love but sometimes
I don't give it its true value
Life's things, clash of opinions
Life's things, life's things
Everything has its time
We just have to know how to wait
And in our daily dealings with people
We must know how to tolerate them
Things that bother us many times
Are a product of love
Of that great love
That we must not forget
Life's things, clash of opinions
Life's things, life's things
