Tiempos Viejos
Julio Sosa
Old Times
Do you remember, brother, those times back then!
They were different men, more manly our own,
Cocaine and morphine were unknown,
The boys of old didn't use hair gel.
Do you remember, brother, those times back then!
Twenty-five years that won't return,
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, fought
Each one defending their love?
(Recited)
Do you remember, brother, the blonde Mireya?
That I took from Hansen's place from the tough Rivera?
To think that I almost got into a fight one night for her
And today, 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.
