Ayer nomás [English translation]

Just yesterday,

They taught me in school,

That this country

Is large and free.

Today I woke up

And saw my bed and my room

This month

I didn't have much to eat.

Just yesterday,

My family told me

Today you have to have

Money to be happy.

Today I woke up,

And saw my bed and my room

Now everything is grey and meaningless,

People live without believing.

Just yesterday,

there was a girl in my room

I kissed her without reason.

Today the girl has already gone.

Just yesterday,

I saw a girl in my arms.

This month

I didn't have much to eat.

Just yesterday

I went outside and I saw the people

Now everything is grey and meaningless,

People live without believing.

Without believing.
