Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Con el pasar de los años
He aprendido en la vida
Que se vive intensamente
Porque si no, se termina
Con el pasar de los años
El cariño es más bueno
Se aprecia lo que se tiene
Y se respeta lo ajeno
With the passing the years
I have learned in life
That one must live intensely
Because if not, it ends
With the passing of the years
Affection grows stronger
You appreciate what you have
And respect what belongs to others
Agua dulce, agua salá
Por agua viene, por agua se va
Agua dulce, agua salá
Bendita la vida, te quita y te da
Sweet water, salty water
By water it comes, by water it goes
Sweet water, salty water
Blessed life, it takes and it gives
Agua que caes del cielo
Sobre las olas del mar
Yo te quiero beber dulce
Y tú te pones salá
Yo te quiero beber dulce
Y tú te pones salá
Water that falls from the sky
Over the waves of the sea
I want to drink you sweet
But you turn salty
I want to drink you sweet
But you turn salty
Agua dulce, agua salá
Agua dulce, agua salá
Sweet water, salty water
Sweet water, salty water
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
Con el pasar de los años
Hay que dar bien los pasos
Tomar el mejor camino
Aunque se te haga el más largo
Con el pasar de los años
De las penas se aprende
El corazón se hace duro
Y el sentimiento más fuerte
With the passing of the years
You must tread carefully
Take the best path
Even if it seems the longest
With the passing of the years
You learn from sorrows
The heart grows tough
And feelings become stronger
Agua dulce, agua salá
Por agua viene, por agua se va
Agua dulce, agua salá
Bendita la vida, te quita y te da
Sweet water, salty water
By water it comes, by water it goes
Sweet water, salty water
Blessed life, it takes and it gives
Agua que caes del cielo
Sobre las olas del mar
Yo te quiero beber dulce
Y tú te pones salá
Yo te quiero beber dulce
Y tú te pones salá
Water that falls from the sky
Over the waves of the sea
I want to drink you sweet
But you turn salty
I want to drink you sweet
But you turn salty
Agua dulce, agua salá
Agua dulce, agua salá
Agua dulce, agua salá
Agua dulce, agua salá
Sweet water, salty water
Sweet water, salty water
Sweet water, salty water
