Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Viejo by Los Rojos from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ya se marchó El Viejo
The old man has already left
Se fue para siempre
he's gone forever
Estaba cansado
He was tired
Ya dejó sus lentes
He already left his glasses
Sus manos temblaban
His hands trembled
Su piel se arrugó
His skin wrinkled
Sus ojos brillaban
His eyes were shining
Luego los cerró
Then he closed them
Cuantas aventuras
how many adventures
Cuantas enseñanzas
how many teachings
Pero todo dura
but everything lasts
Hasta que se acaba
Until it's over
Mi gran súper héroe
my big super hero
El que nos cuidaba
The one who took care of us
Aquel hombre fuerte
that strong man
Perdió la batalla
he lost the battle
Su vida fue nuestra
His life was ours
Nos la entregó
He gave it to us
Nadie se imagina
no one imagines
Cuanto trabajó
how much he worked
Sus manos cansadas
His tired hands
Guardaban la fuerza
They kept the strength
Para dedicarnos
to dedicate ourselves
El tiempo que fuera
as long as it was
Todos los problemas
All the problems
El los resolvía
He he solved them
Y a las amarguras
and to the bitterness
El le sonreía
he smiled at her
Su cabello negro
his hair black
Se volvió entrecano
he turned grizzled
Y al paso del tiempo
And over time
Fue acortando el paso
He was shortening the step
Cuantas aventuras
how many adventures
Cuantas enseñanzas
how many teachings
Pero todo dura
but everything lasts
Hasta que se acaba
Until it's over
Mi gran súper héroe
my big super hero
El que nos cuidaba
The one who took care of us
Aquel hombre fuerte
that strong man
Perdió la batalla
he lost the battle
Ya se marchó
he already left
