Victima Del Tiempo
Vladimir Atencio
Victim of Time
I look in the mirror
And I find myself thinking far away
And it doesn't matter what life is and how time flies
Yesterday, I was just a kid with goals and dreams
Eager to move forward and reach so far
Yesterday, I was just a kid with goals and dreams
Eager to move forward and reach so far
But the years don’t forgive
We know that well
We can’t cover the sun
With just one finger
Today my white hair is a victim of time
That doesn’t stop for anything, not even for a moment
Today my white hair is a victim of time
That doesn’t stop for anything, not even for a moment
I wish I could tell time to stop moving
To halt and let the clock stop spinning
To understand me, because I know well that the time that passes, doesn’t come back
Life is the wonderful gift that God has given me
So I’m going to live it happily, putting aside
The sorrows that only make me suffer and hurt me
Life is for enjoying, folks, because everything comes to an end
We know that time doesn’t forgive and that in life, we won’t be eternal
So to grow old, I want to give you this advice
Learn to value life, because you won’t always be young
