no hace falta q' te escondas puedes salir
puedes reirte hasta de mi
se q' siempre lo hiciste
me dejaste como un perro
no hace falta finjir
q' estas muy mal
nunca supiste actuar
y ahora me doy cuenta

fui un tonto siempre fue haci y ahora solo a quedado
entre los dos el recuerdo de una triste cancion y un monton de
palabras q' ya no volveran a arrancarme el corazon ooooouooooou

coro
y las palabras q'
ayer me hicieron recordar palabras
hoy solo me hacen sonreir palabras
siempre palabras nada mas
y las palabras
q' ayer me hicieron recordar palabras
hoy solo me hacen sonreir palabras
siempre palabras nada maaaaas

se q' piensas q' yo sin ti no soy
mas q' un idiota tragico
pero fue tan facil
conprender q' ya no estas aqui
se q' solo intentabas escapar
mientras jugaste una vez mas
y ahorame doy cuenta
q' fui un tonto siempre fue haci
y ahora solo a quedado entre los dos el recuerdo de una triste cancion y un
monton de palabras q' ya no volveran a arrancarme el corazon

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Verde 70's song 'Palabras' focus on a past relationship where one partner feels hurt and betrayed while the other is seemingly over it and moving on. The singer is telling their ex-partner that they don't have to hide anymore and can come out if they want to. The singer is aware that their ex often made fun of them but had left them, making them feel like a dog. The singer doesn't want their ex to pretend to be sad about it now, as they never knew how to act and the singer realises they were foolish for not seeing it earlier.

The only thing that remains between them both now is the memory of a sad song and a lot of words that can no longer break the singer's heart. The chorus of the song emphasizes that the words that yesterday made the singer remember the pain, today only make them smile, as they are just meaningless words. The singer acknowledges that their ex might think they are just a tragic idiot without them, however, it was easy for the singer to understand that their ex ran away from the relationship.
