Tiempos Viejos
Carlos Gardel
Old Times
Do you remember, brother, those times
They were different men, more manly our own
They didn't know cocaine, nor morphine
The boys from before didn't use hair gel
Do you remember, brother, those times
Twenty-five years that won't come back
Twenty-five years, to have them back
If when I remember I start to cry
Where are the boys from back then?
Old gang from yesterday, where are they?
You and I are the only ones left, brother
You and I alone to remember
Do you remember, those women
Faithful women with big hearts
Who at Laura's dances, would fight
Each one defending their love
Do you remember, brother, the blonde Mireya?
Who danced at Hansen's place with crazy Cepeda
I almost killed myself one night for her
Today she's a poor ragged beggar
Do you remember?, brother, how beautiful she was
A circle formed to watch her dance
When I see her so old in the street today
I turn my face away, and start to cry
