Lies, they're all lies
Things that people say
To say that this love is forbidden
That I'm 40 and you're 20
That I'm autumn in your life
And you're sweet spring
They don't know that I hold a summer
That burns when I look at you
40 and 20
40 and 20
Love is what matters
Not what people say
40 and 20
40 and 20
Take my hand
Walk with me
Looking ahead
It doesn't matter if they don't understand me
And if they whisper under their breath
That there's a big difference
That I'm 40 and you're 20
That I have many experiences
And you have so much innocence
They don't know that our secret
Is your youth and my experience
40 and 20
40 and 20
Love is what matters
Not what people say
40 and 20
40 and 20
Take my hand
Walk with me
Looking ahead

Vivencias translates to "experiences," but it carries a deeper connotation than just everyday events. It refers to profound, personal experiences that shape who you are.

In "40 y 20," José José sings, "Que yo tengo muchas vivencias / Y tú tienes tanta inocencia." He uses this word to highlight the significant age difference and the wealth of life lessons he has accumulated, contrasting it with his partner's youthful innocence. It's a key word that encapsulates the central theme of the song.

Get ready to dive into José José's classic, "40 y 20"! This song is all about defying society's judgment when it comes to love with an age gap. The lyrics directly address the gossip and comments people make, calling them "Mentiras son todas mentiras" [Lies, they are all lies].

José José sings about how people see him as "otoño en tu vida" [autumn in your life] and his partner as "dulce primavera" [sweet spring], but he knows he still has a "verano" [summer] that "cuando te miro te quema" [when I look at you, it burns you]. He emphasizes that "Es el amor lo que importa Y no lo que diga la gente" [It's love that matters, And not what people say]. It's a powerful message about choosing love and walking "Mirando de frente" [Looking straight ahead], no matter what others think.
