Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 40 Y 20 by José José from Spanish to English.
Mentiras son todas mentiras
Lies, they're all lies
Cosas que dice la gente
Things that people say
Decir que este amor es prohibido
To say that this love is forbidden
Que tengo 40 y tu 20
That I'm 40 and you're 20
Que yo soy otoño en tu vida
That I'm autumn in your life
Y tu eres dulce primavera
And you're sweet spring
No saben que guardo un verano
They don't know that I hold a summer
Que cuando te miro te quema
That burns when I look at you
Es el amor lo que importa
Love is what matters
Y no lo que diga la gente
Not what people say
Camina conmigo
Walk with me
Mirando de frente
Looking ahead
No importa que a mi no me entiendan
It doesn't matter if they don't understand me
Y que por lo bajo comenten
And if they whisper under their breath
Que existe una gran diferencia
That there's a big difference
Que tengo 40 y tu 20
That I'm 40 and you're 20
Que yo tengo muchas vivencias
That I have many experiences
Y tu tienes tanta inocencia
And you have so much innocence
No saben que nuestro secreto
They don't know that our secret
Es tu juventud y mi experiencia
Is your youth and my experience
Es el amor lo que importa
Love is what matters
Y no lo que diga la gente
Not what people say
Camino conmigo
Walk with me
Mirando de frente
Looking ahead
