Entre nostalgia y nostalgia
Between nostalgia and nostalgia
Entre tu vida y la mía
Between your life and mine
Entre la noche y el alba
Between the night and the dawn
Se van pasando los días
The days keep passing by
¿Quién no recuerda esa edad
Who doesn't remember that age
Llegados los 16
Once we hit sixteen
Cuando queremos tener
When we want to have
Algunos años de más?
A few more years?
¿Y quién no quiere ocultar
And who doesn't want to hide
Un poco el tiempo de ayer
A little of yesterday's time?
Cuando se empieza a encontrar
When do you start to find
Alguna arruga en su piel?
Some wrinkles on your skin?
33 años
33 years
Nada más son media vida
Nothing more than half a lifetime
33 años
33 years
Que se van con tanta prisa
That pass by in such a hurry
33 años
33 years
De querer a quien lo pida
Of wanting whoever asks for it
33 años
33 years
Como usted, ¿quién lo diría?
Like you, who would have thought?
A veces miro hacia atrás
Sometimes I look back
Con la nostalgia que da
With the nostalgia that it brings
El recordar esa edad
Remembering that age
Cuando se juega a ganar
When we played to win
Y hoy, si quiero apostar
And today, if I want to bet
Me toca tanto perder
It hurts me so much to lose
Y es que el amor tiene edad
And love has its age
Aunque no lo quiera usted
Even if you don't want it to
33 años
33 years
Nada más son media vida
It's just half a life
33 años
33 years
Que se van con tanta prisa
That fly by in such a hurry
33 años
33 years
De querer a quien lo pida
Of loving whoever asks for it
33 años
33 years
Como yo, ¿quién lo diría?
Who would have guessed it, like me?
