Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Tiempo, El Implacable, El Que Pasó by Pablo Milanés from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
El tiempo, el implacable, el que pasó
Time, the relentless, the one that passed
Siempre una huella triste nos dejó
Always a sad mark left us
Qué violento cimiento se forjó
What a violent foundation was forged
Llevaremos sus marcas imborrables
We will bear their indelible marks
Aferrarse a las cosas detenidas
Hold on to things that are stopped
Es ausentarse un poco de la vida
It's a little absent from life
La vida que es tan corta al parecer
The life that is so short it seems
Cuando se han hecho cosas sin querer
When things have been done unintentionally
En este breve ciclo en que pasamos
In this brief cycle in which we spend
Cada paso se dá porque se sienta
Each step is taken because it feels
Al hacer un recuento ya nos vamos
When we count, we're leaving
Y la vida pasó sin darnos cuenta
And life passed without realizing it
Cada paso anterior deja una huella
Each previous step leaves a mark
Que lejos de borrarse se incorpora
Far from being erased, it is incorporated
A tu saco tan lleno de recuerdos
To your bag so full of memories
Que cuando menos se imagina afloran
That when you least imagine they emerge
Porque el tiempo, el implacable, el que pasó
Because time, the relentless, the one that passed
Siempre una huella triste nos dejó
Always a sad mark left us
