Lyrics and translation
Original
Que la vida iba en serio uno lo empieza a comprender más tarde.
Que la vida iba en serio uno lo empieza a comprender más tarde.
Como todos los jóvenes yo vine a llevarme la vida por delante.
Como todos los jóvenes yo vine a llevarme la vida por delante.
Dejar huella quería y marcharme entre aplausos.
Envejecer, morir, eran tan solo las dimensiones del teatro.
Envejecer, morir, eran tan solo las dimensiones del teatro.
Pero ha pasado el tiempo, ay, el tiempo, y la verdad desagradable asoma, desagradable asoma: envejecer, morir, ay, morir, es el único argumento de la obra, de la obra.
Envejecer, morir, es el único argumento de la obra.
Oh, oh, oh, de la obra.
Oh, oh, oh.
English translation
That life was serious one begins to understand later.
That life was serious one begins to understand later.
Like all young people, I came to take life ahead.
Like all young people, I came to take life ahead.
I wanted to leave my mark and leave with applause.
Growing old, dying, were just the dimensions of the theater.
Growing old, dying, were just the dimensions of the theater.
But time has passed, oh, time, and the unpleasant truth appears, unpleasant appears: growing old, dying, oh, dying, is the only plot of the work, of the work.
Growing old, dying, is the only plot of the work.
Oh, oh, oh, of the work.
Oh, oh, oh.
