Del Dicho Al Hecho
El Chaqueño Palavecino
Lyrics
Translation
Esas palabras bonitas
Those beautiful words
que susurraba tu voz
that your voice whispered
eran castillos de arena
were sand castles
en las playas de mi amor.
on the shores of my love.
Ya no me quitan el sueño
You no longer keep me awake
tus juramentos en flor
with your flowery oaths
se han vuelto ramos de espinas
they have become thorny bouquets
las promesas de tu amor.
the promises of your love.
Porque del dicho al hecho
Because from saying to doing
hay un largo trecho, hay un largo trecho
there is a long way, there is a long way
no malgastes palabras
don't waste words
que lleva el agua, que barre el viento.
that water carries away, that the wind sweeps.
Porque del dicho al hecho
Because from saying to doing
hay un largo trecho, hay un largo trecho
there is a long way, there is a long way
a terminar contigo
to end with you
ahorita mismo tengo derecho.
right now I have the right.
Porque del dicho al hecho
Because from saying to doing
hay un largo trecho
there is a long way
todo lo que hoy me digas será mentira
everything you tell me today will be a lie
aunque sea cierto.
even if it's true.
Antes de darme tu aroma
Before giving me your scent
se deshojó tu jazmín
your jasmine withered
porque con agüita clara
because with clear water
no regaste tu jardín.
you didn't water your garden.
De la boca para afuera
From the mouth outward
todo se puede inventar
everything can be invented
pero los ojos no mienten
but the eyes don't lie
no me quieras engañar.
don't try to deceive me.
