Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Tiempo Nos Cambió by Eslabón Armado from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

I'm remembering our past, you'd see that I miss you, I'm feeling so lonely

How've you been? you haven't changed, I saw in your photos that you're already with another guy

Time changed us and I know that I'm not better

Nights I've drunk so much liquor, I'm lost

If I'm calling it's because I can't stand the urge to hear your lovely voice

I walked such a long road and in the end you didn't want my love

What was it that happened? what did I do to you? what was my mistake? everything's the opposite

I go crying, you cause pain

Chorus 1

Look me in the eyes, see the pain that I have

I'd never felt this, honestly it feels awful

I hear you and I start remembering the old times when we were happy

I'll never forget that

I know that maybe I wasn't perfect for you

And now my heart is going far from here

Verse 2

Why did you leave with another guy? tell me, what's he got that lets him win you over?

I'll be honest, just by seeing him, he'll make you suffer, but if you want, keep him

Because that's how love is, very confusing, so much pain

Babe, you'll see, soon you won't find what we had

Chorus 2

Look me in the eyes, see the pain that I have

I'd never felt this, honestly it feels awful

I hear you and I start remembering the old times when we were happy

I'll never forget that

I know that maybe I wasn't perfect for you

And now my heart is going far from here

SONG MEANING

El Tiempo Nos Cambió is a heartfelt corrido urbano by Mexican-American group Eslabón Armado that dives head-first into the raw ache of post-breakup nostalgia. The singer looks back on happier days, scrolling through photos and realizing his ex has already moved on. Time may have marched forward, yet he feels stuck in the same lonely place, drowning sleepless nights in liquor while replaying old memories like a worn-out cassette. Every line oozes remorse: ¿Qué fue lo que pasó?—What went wrong? He questions his own flaws, wonders what her new partner offers, and openly admits the pain is unlike anything he has felt before.

At its core, the song captures the bittersweet truth that love can be confusing, unfair, and fiercely memorable. Between ringing guitars and sighing requintos, the narrator vacillates between regret and a bittersweet warning: he believes the new guy will hurt her, yet he still longs to hear her “linda voz.” It is a vulnerable confession that reminds listeners how time can transform people, but it cannot easily erase genuine emotion. By blending regional Mexican instrumentation with modern storytelling, El Tiempo Nos Cambió becomes an anthem for anyone who has watched an old flame drift away while their own heart stays stubbornly in the past.
