El Tiempo Pasa

I wish I had a time machine
To travel directly to the past
And enjoy one by one those moments
Because I can't forgive myself for ignoring them

I remember that afternoon at my grandmother's house
Eating pork chop and rice with beans
Joking around with friends at school
I close my eyes and my mind flies

Because time passes and I
Keep wondering how to stop the clock
Why does life have to end
Why won't the wounds heal
There are so many things we neglect
There are people we never forget
Just like there are moments that don't turn back

I wish to go back to the neighborhood and run down the street again
Barefoot like a kid when playing hide and seek
Friends who are no longer here but, my G, nothing can be done
That's life and we must accept it as it is

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
This is my destiny and it wasn't by luck
Problems make me stronger
And they were hits to wake me up

Time has gone by, by, but I don't forget, forget
The things I've experienced with my people
I've been more than blessed, thanks to God who has fulfilled
Everything I've asked for, I live more than grateful

Forever grateful

Because time passes and I
Keep wondering how to stop the clock
Why does life have to end
Why won't the wounds heal
There are so many things we neglect
There are people we never forget
Just like there are moments that don't turn back

I wish I had a time machine
To travel directly to the past
And enjoy one by one those moments
Because I can't forgive myself for ignoring them
