These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Eramos una vez un grupo de nueve o diez
We were once a group of nine or ten
Que coincidía cada noche
that coincided every night
Una suerte de sueños que hacían cuadrilla
A luck of dreams that made gang
Unos buenos muchachos riendo juntos
Some good boys laughing together
Érase que se era una vez
once upon a time
Por esa época se amaba tanto, qué sé yo
At that time she loved herself so much, what do I know
¡Qué época tanta de amores!
What a time of love!
Desfilábamos juntos, se hacían poemas
We paraded together, they made poems
Y las calles que buenos gustos tenían
And the streets that had good tastes
Érase que se era una vez
once upon a time
De uno en fondo pasábamos
From one in the background we passed
Por la misma canción
for the same song
Era uno, eran dos, eran tantos qué sé yo
It was one, there were two, there were so many, what do I know?
Pero era bonito mirarnos, vernos sufrir
But it was nice to look at us, to see us suffer
Érase que se era una vez
once upon a time
Era imposible pasar un sólo día sin morir
It was impossible to go a single day without dying.
Sin gritar, sin reír, sin comprender, sin amar
Without screaming, without laughing, without understanding, without loving
Qué desastre de gente que no podía estar en paz
What a mess of people who couldn't be at peace
Érase que se era una vez
once upon a time
Yo no sé si fue el tiempo que lo vuela todo
I don't know if it was the time that everything flies
O si fuimos nosotros detonando el tiempo
Or if it was us detonating time
Pero nos fragmentamos como una granada
But we fragment like a grenade
Érase que se era una vez
once upon a time
Yo no sé si ha llovido una lluvia que moje
I don't know if it has rained a wet rain
Cada esquirla en el sitio en que haya caído
Every splinter where it fell
Si hay guardada una tarde común en el tiempo
If there is a common evening saved in time
Érase que se era una vez
once upon a time
Yo no sé si ha servido de algo o de nada
I don't know if it has been useful or not at all
Que haya habido pasado y que quede recuerdo
That there has been a past and that a memory remains
Yo no sé si mañana pensaré lo que hoy vivo
I don't know if tomorrow I will think what I live today
Érase que se era una vez
once upon a time
