Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Caro Es El Tiempo by El Canto del Loco from Spanish to English.

Today I look at your faces

I see that life goes by

Memories that in words

that accompany, that trap us

It was like our home

So many afternoons in that square

We went through a thousand stories

Always together and up to now

And how costly time is

that puts me against the wall

And if I say that I'm lying

I'll be hiding again

Sorry

if I say that I want to keep being what I was yesterday

A kid

Without fear that gives his love away, he doesn't know why

I remember those faces

Everything comes, everything goes

And I see those photos

A summer on the beach

Secrets that one keeps

That girl that you still love

Songs that trap you

that remind, that accompany

And how costly time is

that puts me against the wall

And if I say that I'm lying

I'll be hiding again

Sorry

if I say that I want to keep being what I was yesterday

A kid

Without fear that gives his love away, he doesn't know why

He doesn't know why

Sorry

if I say that I want to keep being what I was yesterday

A kid

Without fear that gives his love away, he doesn't know why

He gives his love away, he doesn't know why

SONG MEANING

Que Caro Es El Tiempo feels like opening an old photo album while your favorite summer anthem plays in the background. El Canto del Loco sings about staring at familiar faces, reliving evenings in the neighborhood plaza, secret beach romances and the songs that glued everyone together. Each memory comes with a bittersweet price tag because, as the chorus repeats, time is expensive and never stops pushing us forward.

At its heart, the track is a playful plea to stay young at soul. The narrator apologizes for wanting to keep being “un niño sin miedo” – a fearless kid who gives love freely without overthinking. It is a reminder that nostalgia can light us up rather than weigh us down: we can carry the friendship, innocence and music of yesterday into today, even while acknowledging that every second we keep is precious.
