Cover art for Ayer lyrics by Gloria Estefan

Yesterday  Yesterday I found the flower that you gave me An image of the love that you offered me It still faithfully keeps its scent, that tender carnation Yesterday I found the flower that you gave me

I still keep that letter that you wrote to me In a passionate red, it had a mark Your signature next to the carnation made me sad I still keep that letter that you wrote to me

Come back, please, since life is very short Let's work out the doubt and the rancour. "Very well" says the singer, the past is not important Of all, our pride is the worst. Let's renew the passion since life is very short Let's fill our hearts with warmth

Our being longs for the scent of forgiveness The perfume of the hopes of a new dawn The freshness of spring for all eternity Our being longs for the scent of forgiveness

{Verses 3,1}

Get up and have a good time because life is short Cheer up, in the end nothing else matters (lit: the rest is not important) Listen well, without fear, to what life teaches, gentlemen Do not get hurt again (lit: look for another wound) by the same mistake, listen well

Get up and have a good time because life is short Cheer up, in the end nothing else matters Throw away all troubles now and look for the good life With affection and harmony like water and sand, how good!

Get up get up and have a good time because life is short Cheer up cheer up yes sir for in the end, nothing else matters Liven up, shake, get closer without a problem, family Racatacatá, cun, cun, prá Now the cueros* are calling you, they are calling you
