Lyrics
Cuando era más joven viajéen sucios trenes que iban hacia el norte
Y dormícon chicas que lo hacían con hombres por primera vez,
Compraba salchichas y olvidaba luego pagar el importe.
Cuando era más joven me he visto esposado delante del juez.
Cuando era más joven cambiaba de nombre en cada aduana,
Cambiaba de casa, cambiaba de oficio, cambiaba de amor,
Mañana era nunca y nunca llegaba pasado mañana,
Cuando era más joven buscaba el placer engañando al dolor.
Dormía de un tirón cada vez que encontraba una cama,
Había días que tocaba comer, había noches que no,
Fumaba de gorra y sacaba la lengua a las damas
Que andaban del brazo de un tipo que nunca era yo.
Pasaron los años, terminéla mili, me metíen un piso,
Hice algunos discos, sentéla cabeza, me instaléen Madrid,
Tuve dos mujeres, pero quise más a la que más me quiso,
Una vez le dije: ???¿Te vienes conmigo??? Y contestóque sí.
Hoy como caliente, pago mis impuestos, tengo pasaporte,
Pero algunas veces pierdo el apetito y no puedo dormir
Y sueño que viajo en uno de esos trenes que iban hacia el norte.
Cuando era más joven la vida era dura, distinta y feliz.
Dormía de un tirón cada vez que encontraba una cama,
Había días que tocaba comer, había noches que no,
Fumaba de gorra y sacaba la lengua a las damas
Que andaban del brazo de un tipo que nunca era yo.
Lyrics translation
When I was younger, I used to travel on dirty trains going north.
And sleeping with girls who did it with men for the first time,
He would buy sausages and then forget to pay the amount.
When I was younger, I was handcuffed in front of the judge.
When I was younger I changed my name at every customs office,
I changed my house, I changed my trade, I changed my love,
Tomorrow was never and never came the day after tomorrow,
When I was younger I sought pleasure by deceiving pain.
I'd fall asleep every time I found a bed,
There were days I ate, there were nights I didn't,
He smoked in his hat, and he stuck out his tongue to the ladies.
They were on the arm of a guy who was never me.
Years passed, I finished it mili, they put me a flat,
I made some records, I sat her head, I settled in Madrid,
I had two women, but I loved the one who loved me the most,
I once said:???Will you come with me??? And he said yes.
Today I'm hot, I pay my taxes, I have a passport,
But sometimes I lose my appetite and I can't sleep
And I dream I'm traveling on one of those trains going north.
When I was younger, life was tough, different and happy.
I'd fall asleep every time I found a bed,
There were days I ate, there were nights I didn't,
He smoked in his hat, and he stuck out his tongue to the ladies.
They were on the arm of a guy who was never me.
