Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Del Pasado Efímero , by - Joan Manuel Serrat. Del Pasado Efímero(original) |
| Este hombre del casino provinciano |
| que vió a Carancha recibir un día, |
| tiene mustia la piel, el pelo cano |
| ojos velados por melancolía |
| bajo el bigote gris, labios de hastío, |
| y una triste expresión que no es tristeza, |
| sino algo más y menos: el vacío |
| del mundo en la orquendad de su cabeza. |
| Aún luce de corintio terciopelo |
| chaqueta y pantalón abotinado, |
| y un cordobés color de caramelo |
| pulido y torneado. |
| Tres veces heredó y tres ha perdido |
| al monte su caudal; |
| dos ha enviudado. |
| Sólo se anima ante el azar prohibido |
| sobre el verde tapete reclinado, |
| o al evocar la tarde de un torero |
| la suerte de un tahúr o si alguien cuenta |
| la hazaña de un gallardo bandolero, |
| o la proeza de un matón, sangrienta. |
| Bosteza de políticas banales |
| dicterios al gobierno reaccionario |
| y augura que vendrán los liberales |
| cual torna la cigüeña al campanario. |
| Un poco labrador, de cielo aguarda |
| y al cielo teme; |
| alguna vez suspira |
| pensando en su olivar, al cielo mira |
| con ojos inquietos si la lluvia tarda. |
| Lo demás, taciturno, hipocondríaco |
| prisionero de la Arcadia del presente |
| le aburre; |
| sólo el humo del tabaco |
| simula algunas sombras en su frente. |
| Este hombre no es de ayer, ni es de mañana |
| sino de nunca; |
| de la cepa hispana. |
| No es el fruto maduro, ni podrido, |
| es una fruta vana |
| de aquella España que pasó y no ha sido |
| esa que hoy tiene la cabeza cana. |
| (translation) |
| This country casino man |
| who saw Carancha receive one day, |
| he has withered skin, gray hair |
| eyes veiled by melancholy |
| under the gray mustache, lips of boredom, |
| and a sad expression that is not sadness, |
| but something more and less: the void |
| of the world in the orbit of his head of it. |
| He still wears corinthian velvet |
| jacket and buttoned trousers, |
| and a caramel-colored cordovan |
| polished and turned. |
| He three times he inherited and three times he has lost |
| to the mount his flow from him; |
| two have been widowed. |
| He is only encouraged by the forbidden chance |
| reclining on the green rug, |
| or by evoking the afternoon of a bullfighter |
| the luck of a gambler or if someone tells |
| the feat of a gallant bandit, |
| or the feat of a thug, bloody. |
| Yawning of banal politics |
| dictates to the reactionary government |
| and predicts that the liberals will come |
| which returns the stork to the bell tower. |
| A little farmer, from heaven awaits |
| and he fears heaven; |
| he ever sighs |
| thinking of his olive grove, he looks to the sky |
| with restless eyes if the rain lasts. |
| The rest, taciturn, hypochondriac |
| prisoner of present day arcadia |
| he bores her; |
| just tobacco smoke |
| simulates some shadows on his forehead from him. |
| This man is not from yesterday, nor is he from tomorrow |
| but of never; |
| of the Hispanic strain. |
| He is not the ripe fruit, nor rotten, |
| it is a vain fruit |
| of that Spain that passed and has not been |
| the one that today has gray hair. |
