Tiempos Viejos

Old Times

Tiempos Viejos

Do you remember, brother, those timesTe acordás, hermano, qué tiempos aquellos
They were different men, more manly our ownEran otros hombres, más hombres los nuestros
They didn't know cocaine, nor morphineNo se conocían coca, ni morfina
The boys from before didn't use hair gelLos muchachos de antes no usaban gomina

Do you remember, brother, those timesTe acordás, hermano, qué tiempos aquellos
Twenty-five years that won't come backVeinticinco abriles que no volverán
Twenty-five years, to have them backVeinticinco abriles, volver a tenerlos
If when I remember I start to crySi cuando me acuerdo me pongo a llorar

Where are the boys from back then?¿Dónde están los muchachos de entonces?
Old gang from yesterday, where are they?Barra antigua de ayer, ¿dónde están?
You and I are the only ones left, brotherYo y vos solos quedamos hermano
You and I alone to rememberYo y vos solos para recordar
Do you remember, those womenTe acordás, las mujeres aquellas
Faithful women with big heartsMinas fieles de gran corazón
Who at Laura's dances, would fightQue en los bailes de Laura, peleaban
Each one defending their loveCada cual defendiendo su amor

Do you remember, brother, the blonde Mireya?¿Te acordás, hermano, la rubia Mireya?
Who danced at Hansen's place with crazy CepedaQue quite en lo de Hansen al loco Cepeda
I almost killed myself one night for herCasi me suicido una noche por ella
Today she's a poor ragged beggarHoy es una pobre mendiga harapienta
Do you remember?, brother, how beautiful she was¿Te acordás?, hermano, lo linda que era
A circle formed to watch her danceSe formaba rueda pa' verla bailar
When I see her so old in the street todayCuando por la calle, hoy la veo tan vieja
I turn my face away, and start to cryDoy vuelta a la cara, y me pongo a llorar
