El Tiempo Va

Time goes by
Towards tomorrow, like an arrow.
Who writes our story
Will tell us.
Little by little, little by little time goes by.

Engrave this truth on a stone:
Even if you don't want to, time goes by.

A shadow dances in the air, you will dance with it.
Water that escapes through your fingers
And goes away like time goes by.

Time goes by.
And the energy it gave us will not return.
An hourglass beneath your veins, that's the law.
One life is all there is.

There's no rebellion left, no freedom left.
Even if you don't want to, the day ends and time goes by.

A shadow dances in the air, you will dance with it.
Water that escapes through your fingers
And goes away like time goes by. (repeat)

Drink a drop of rain,
You will drink from it.
Water that escapes through your fingers and goes away like time goes by.

Oh, oh, the day you fall asleep, the color will fall asleep.
And even if a shadow dances in the air, you won't dance anymore.

There's no rebellion left, no freedom left.
And the screams you never shouted,
They go away like time goes by.
