These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ahorrabamos toda la semana para ir al cine
We saved the whole week to go to the movies
el regalo de cumpleaños siempre era un chocolate
The birthday present was always a chocolate
eramos mitad valientes mitad inocentes
We were half brave half innocent
eramos hombre why mujer mitad adolecentes
We were man why woman half teenagers
Conforme fue pasando el tiempo arrugabamos sabanas
As time went by we wrinkled sheets
una de tantas veces te me hiciste mujer
One of the many times you made me a woman
eramos todo aquello que se puede soñar
We were everything you can dream of
eramos todo aquello que es tan dificil lograr
We were everything that is so difficult to achieve
why como duele pensar,
Why as it hurts to think,
que todo lo que construimos no es mas que una simple why maldita
that everything we build is nothing more than a simple cursed why.
historia, historia

tan añeja como el vino del abuelo
As old as Grandpa's wine
tan absurda como un arbol sin suelo
as absurd as a tree, without soil
historia, historia
history, history
como colón why sus tres carabelas
Like Columbus why his three caravels
como cualquier historia de escuela

Hoy se me pasa la vida encendiendo cigarros
Today I spend my life lighting cigarettes
preguntandome a diario si seras feliz,
asking me daily if you will be happy,
