Singer: Julio Iglesias
De noche, nos pasábamos las horas
Hablando de mil cosas por hacer
Y a veces, en pequeñas discusiones, llegaba a amanecer
At night, we passed hours
Talking about countless things to do
And sometimes, in small disagreements, it would dawn
Y siempre amanecía con un beso y tú
Después me preparabas un café
Y yo me despedía cada día soñando con volver
And every morning started with your kiss
Then you made me coffee
And I would leave every day dreaming of coming back
Parábamos el tiempo día a día
Quería descubrirte cada vez
Prendido de tu vida y tú prendida de la mía
El mundo parecía a nuestros pies
We stopped time day by day
I wanted to discover you more every time
Attached to your life and you attached to mine
The world seemed under our control
Ya ves que todo pasa, ¿quién diría?
Ya ves qué poco queda del ayer
Apenas los recuerdos, momentos que no vuelven otra vez
You see, everything moves on, who would’ve thought?
You see, how little is left of yesterday
Just memories, moments that won’t come back again
¿Te acuerdas de las veces que dijimos
Que nada nos podría separar?
El viento que escuchaba tus palabras cantaba tu cantar
Do you remember the times we said
That nothing could separate us?
The wind that heard to your words sang your song
Y yo me cobijaba por tu cuerpo
Y tú echabas los sentidos a volar
Perdidos en la noche y el silencio soñábamos soñar
And I would shelter myself in your body
And you would let your senses fly
Lost in the night and silence, we dreamed of dreaming
La vida se hace siempre de momentos
De cosas que no sueles valorar
Y luego, cuando pierdes, cuando al fin te has dado cuenta
El tiempo no te deja regresar
Life is always made of moments
Things you don’t value
And then, when you lose them, when you finally realize
Time doesn’t let you go back
Ya ves que todo pasa, ¿quién diría?
Ya ves qué poco queda por contar
Apenas los recuerdos, momentos que no vuelven nunca más
You see, everything moves on, who would’ve thought?
You see how little remains to be told
Just memories, moments that will never return
