Little by little you leave me

Without me being able to do anything

Time does not forgive

And it goes away like the dawn

Little by little you leave me

And I watch the time go by

And no matter how much I try

I couldn't stop it

As a child I told God that he wanted to grow up to be like you

I didn't know what he asked for

Although he really didn't want to

As a child I told God to advance the time to be with you

I have changed my mind

Although being like you is a great honor

stop

Don't walk where time runs

Give me this moment better

And wrap in your arms the child who loves daddy

stop

And together let's walk back

Give me a tender kiss on the forehead

And with my savings I can buy you time

To forever be daddy's boy

Little by little you leave me

And I can't understand it

And the people who are good

It should be eternal

As a child I told God that he wanted to grow up to be like you

Let them know that he was your son

And it will fill you with pride

As a child I told God to advance the time to be with you

I have changed my mind

Although being like you is a great honor

stop

Don't walk where time runs

Give me this moment better

And wrap in your arms the child who loves daddy

stop

And together let's walk back

Give me a tender kiss on the forehead

And with my savings I can buy you time

To forever be daddy's boy

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Alex Fernández's "El Tiempo No Perdona" is a really touching song about the bittersweet feeling of watching someone you love grow older. He sings about time slipping away "Poco a poco te me vas" [Little by little you are leaving me] and how he can't do anything to stop it. It's a universal feeling, that wish to just pause a moment with someone special.

He reflects on being a child and wanting to grow up to be like his dad, even asking God to speed up time. But now, he's changed his mind, wishing he could stop time instead. He pleads, "Detente, no camines hacia donde corre el tiempo" [Stop, don't walk where time runs], wanting to buy more time with his father, even offering his savings to do so. It's a beautiful expression of love and the desire to hold onto those precious moments.
