Diez Años Ya (Dix Ans Plus Tôt)
Michel Sardou · Other Songs - Michel Sardou
adaptation espagnole Joaquín Sabina
Si alguna vez mis palabras te han herido
O te han hecho desesperar ideas donde esta tu dolor
Presumido esta vez te haran bailar
Recuerdas la cancion, diez años son, diez años ya
Tu te querias casar, qué loca, con quince años nada mas
Para hacerte el amor, quizas no fuera yo la eleccion ideal
Nunca me decidi, pobre de mi, bastaba con bailar
Ya no se como acababa la cancion, ni el nombre de quien la inspiro
Era el dulce tema de amor de algun viejo compositor
Amo los versos que me hacen beber sin crispacion
La melodia banal que hace bailar que habla del corazon
Entrar al cafetin donde el violin se desmayo
Viejos discos de ayer que prueban que la juventud paso
Ya no se como acababa la cancion, ni el nombre de quien la inspiro
Era el dulce tema de amor de algun viejo compositor
Recuerdas la cancion, diez años son, diez años ya
Tu te querias casar, qué loca con quince años nada mas
Para hacerte el amor, quizas no fuera yo la eleccion ideal
Nunca me decidi, pobre de mi, bastaba con bailar.
