Yo También Tuve Quince Años
José Luis Perales
I Also Had Fifteen Years
Listen to me
I also had fifteen years
Listen to me
They slipped through my fingers
and you see
I'm almost forty
But I've found a few minutes
for you
You can say no
that your problems don't matter to me,
but it's not true
I was also like that
rebellious like you
You have a present, live it,
You are the future and I believe in you
You are the answer and the consequence
of love
You have the fire,
Take care of it, take care
You have hands to fill,
You have a space to cover
You have a thousand questions
the answer lives only in you
You have a dream, caress it
go after it.
Listen to me
I also had fifteen years
So many dreams slipped away from me
and you see
You still have time to try
There are so many things awakening
for you
You can say no
that there is no future in effort
But it's not true
I was also like that
rebellious like you
You have so many things to learn
you have a thousand stars above you
open the window today the moon shines for you
you must believe me
tell me it's true, tell me
You have a present, live it,
You are the future and I believe in you
You are the answer
and the consequence of love
You have the fire
take care of it, take care
