Nos vamos poniendo viejos

We are getting old

We are getting old,
there is no remedy to this truth.
Each time it costs us less
to accept loneliness.
We are getting old
without knowing what flying is like.
Without tasting a bit of freedom
without knowing what happiness is like.
We are getting old
without truly living.
We are getting old
and this is not aging,
if I was never a child
I don't really know what growing up is like.
We are getting old
even before being born.
Without tasting a bit of freedom,
without knowing what happiness is like.
We are getting old
without truly living.
We are getting old
my dear heart,
each day brings with it
a new disappointment.
We are getting old
without truly living.
