El Tiempo
Luis Miguel
Time
Time passes and when it passes
It takes us with it
Every second that runs
We have less to see
In its crazy march
It doesn't know who is who
It takes over the poor
And the rich as well
Cruel time, cruel time
You don't spare even the flowers
From the most beautiful garden
You turn them into beauties
And destroy them in the end
Cruel time, cruel time
When I am very happy
How fast you pass by me
And when you don't have a purpose
How slow is your passing
Time, how I admire you
For your inexorable passing
Time, how I admire you
For your inexorable law
Because you pass for slaves
The same as for a king
