Cuando Se Pasa de Los 60
Noel Nicola
When You Pass 60
Why do you live when you pass 60?
I don't know, I would have to get there.
Do you think about death being near
or about what was left undone one day?
Does death come to be a friend
that one jokes and plays with?
I would have to get there.
It takes courage to live without fear
after 60 years,
and it also takes more than courage:
it takes living something like that of 20.
A man who passes 60
and works and fights for the future,
for the present,
head held high like that of 20,
who said he was already old?
