regañosscoldings / reprimands

Regaños translates to "scoldings" or "reprimands." It's an interesting word because it highlights a less conventional, yet deeply affectionate, aspect of a long-term relationship.

In this classic song, Vicente Fernández sings about the joy of having lived so many years with his beloved, even enjoying "algunas veces tus regaños" (sometimes your scoldings). This reveals a profound intimacy and acceptance, where even minor disagreements are cherished as part of their shared life, making the word both unique and endearing in this context.

Vicente Fernández's "Parece Que Fue Ayer" is a beautiful, heartfelt look back at a long and happy marriage. He sings about how it feels like just yesterday ("Parece que fue ayer") he first saw his beloved on a spring afternoon and held her hand for the very first time. It's so sweet how he remembers her as his girlfriend, walking arm in arm, and even dreaming of her while resting his head on her lap.

What I love most is how he expresses his deep joy, saying, "Soy tan feliz" [I am so happy] for all the years they've shared. He even finds happiness in her scoldings sometimes! It's clear their love is still strong, as he says she continues to be "de mi vida la fragancia" [the fragrance of my life] and that "en nuestro amor nunca ha existido la distancia" [in our love, distance has never existed]. It's a wonderful tribute to lasting love, full of gratitude and affection.
