Verse 1
Cuando crecí me marché del barrio
When I grew up I left the neighborhood
Y apenas bajo ya por Madrid
And I barely go down to Madrid
A cambio vivo sin sobresaltos
In return I live smoothly
Con un hombre bueno que conocí
With a good man that I knew
En todas las fotos me verás sonreír
In all the photos you will see me smile
Chorus 1
La juventud se me fue pasando
Youth passed me by
Y me rendí ante la sensatez
And I gave in to good sense
Vendí mi piano, compré un buen traje
I sold my piano, I bought a good suit
Y cada domingo salgo a correr
And every Sunday I go for a run
Podría decirse que todo va bien
You could say that everything is fine
Y entonces de repente te veo entre la gente
And then suddenly I see you among the people
Durante una mirada el universo se detiene
During one look the universe stops
Volvemos a estar juntos, el alma se nos prende
We get back together, our soul turns on us
De pronto comprendemos que lo nuestro es para siempre
Suddenly we understand that ours is forever
Pero no hacemos nada y seguimos caminando
But we do nothing and we keep walking
Seguimos con la vida que a los dos nos recetaron
We continue with the life that they prescribed for both of us
Cada uno por su lado, muriendo por girarnos
Each one by his side, dying to turn us
Parpadeando rápido para disimular que estamos llorando
Blinking fast to hide that we are crying
Verse 2
Después de ti prometí cuidarme
After you I promised to take care of myself
Cerré con llave mi corazón
I locked my heart
Y aunque confieso que ya no río
And although I confess that I no longer laugh
Tampoco siento ningún dolor
I don't feel any pain either
Aprendí a conformarme
I learned to conform
Y así está mejor
And that's better
Chorus 2
Y entonces de repente te veo entre la gente
And then suddenly I see you among the people
Durante una mirada el universo se detiene
During one look the universe stops
Volvemos a estar juntos, el alma se nos prende
We get back together, our soul turns on us
De pronto comprendemos que lo nuestro es para siempre
Suddenly we understand that ours is forever
Pero no hacemos nada y seguimos caminando
But we do nothing and we keep walking
Seguimos con la vida que a los dos nos recetaron
We continue with the life that they prescribed for both of us
Cada uno por su lado, muriendo por girarnos
Each one by his side, dying to turn us
Parpadeando rápido para disimular
Blinking fast to disguise
Bridge
Que a veces no puedo dormir
That sometimes I can't sleep
Y mirando hacia el techo me quedo pensando
And looking up at the ceiling I keep thinking
Qué lentas que pasan las horas
How slow the hours go by
Qué rápido pasan los años
How quickly the years go by
Chorus 3
Nunca nos prepararon para un viento tan fuerte
They never prepared us for such a strong wind
Que nos despeine el alma y nos revuelva los papeles
That ruffles our soul and shuffles our papers
Y aunque mi corazón ya tenga su camino
And although my heart already has its way
No sé cómo impedir que sea tuyo este latido
I don't know how to prevent this beat from being yours
Pero no, no haremos nada, seguiremos caminando
But no, we won't do anything, we'll keep walking
Seguiremos con la vida que a los dos nos recetaron
We will continue with the life that they prescribed for both of us
Cada uno por su lado, muriendo por girarnos
Each one by his side, dying to turn us
Parpadeando rápido para disimular que estamos llorando
Blinking fast to hide that we are crying
