Vieja Yo?

Old Me?

Vieja Yo?

I met her in an unexpected wayLa conocí de una manera inesperada
Life gives plenty of surprisesYa que la vida da bastantes sorpresas
A very experienced womanUna mujer bien experimentada
Who has me spinning in my headQue me tiene dando vueltas a la cabeza
I know with the years she became interestingSe que con los años se puso interesante

God, I wish the ones nowadays were like the ones beforeDios mio ojala las de ahora fueran como las de antes
They still fix themselves, put on makeup, get comfortableIgual se arreglan, se maquillan se acomodan
They look beautiful regardless of fashionSe ven bellas sin importarles la moda

She seems like she's stuck in timeEsa que parece que se ha quedado en el tiempo
She was a young girl who also had her momentFue una jovencita que tambien tuvo su momento
OhhhhhhOhhhhhh
And now it shows on her faceY ahora se le ve en la cara
That wear and tear got to herQue el desglose le pudo
She has a few gray hairsTiene alguna que otra cana
And the same look of achieving what she couldn'tY la misma cara de lograr lo que no pudo
She has her hopeElla tiene su esperanza
She has followed her pathHa seguido su camino
Trying to recover what one dayIntentar recuperar lo que un día
Changed her destiny when she was youngDe joven le cambió el destino

Everyone criticizes herTodos la critican
But I admire her beautyPero yo admiro su belleza
They call her that old ladyLa llaman la vieja esa

Everyone criticizes herTodos la critican
But I admire her beautyPero yo admiro su belleza
They call her that old ladyLa llaman la vieja esa

She's an actress livingEs una actriz que esta viviendo
The theater of such a normal worldEl teatro de un mundo tan normal
She's very happy, spent her yearsEs muy feliz paso sus años
Thinking of othersPensando en los demás

If it's true that years weigh on youSi es cierto que los años pesen
I feel like it's never too late if happiness comesYo siento que nunca es tarde si la dicha llega
But she has realizedPero ha caido en cuenta
She remembers that sayingSe acuerda de aquel refrán
Everyone who falls asleepTodo el que se queda dormido
By the riverbankA la orilla de un río
Gets eaten by an alligator...Se lo come un caimán...
