Cuando El Tiempo Nos Castiga
When you least realise it
And you don’t pay attention
The most precious treasure
Our mother or a brother
Become memories next to the sun
When we most need
The embrace and the warmth
Of a love or of a friend
You become a witness
That we’re prisoners of the clock
I’d give anything to go back
And walk next to my father
To return for a moment
Become that boy I was yesterday
When time punishes us
When the face changes
When the heart advances
In memories and in distance
Love is sown
When time punishes us
And the skin dries up
You realise that in life
What matters is the affection
And the love you give
When time punishes us
When my soul was new
It got worn out with life
When we don’t realise
That it’s best to say I love you
That it’s better to reconcile the heart
I’d give anything to go back
But live doesn’t forgive
The new becomes history
You get old, I know
When time punishes us
When the face changes
When the heart advances
In memories and in distance
Love is sown
When time punishes us
And the skin dries up
You realise that in life
What matters is the affection
And the love you give
When time punishes us
When time punishes us
And the skin dries up
You realise that in life
What matters is the affection
And the love you give
When time punishes us
