Lyrics
Cuando era más joven viajé en sucios trenes
Que iban hacia el norte
Y dormí con 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 andaba del brazo de un tipo que nunca era yo
Pasaron los años terminé la mili
Me metí en un piso
Hice algunos discos, senté la cabeza
Me instalé en Madrid
Tuve dos mujeres pero quise más
A la que más me quiso
Una vez le dije «¿te vienes conmigo?»
Y contestó que 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 toda
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 andaba del brazo de un tipo que nunca era yo
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 andaba del brazo de un tipo que nunca era yo
Lyrics translation
When I was younger I traveled on dirty trains
That they were going north
And I slept with girls who did.
With men for the first time
I bought sausages and then forgot
Pay the amount
When I was younger I saw myself handcuffed
Before the judge
When I was younger I changed my name
At each customs office
I changed my house, I changed my trade.
I changed my love
Tomorrow was never and never came
Day after tomorrow
When I was younger I sought pleasure
Deceiving the 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.
That I was on the arm of a guy who was never me
Years passed I finished the military
I got into a flat.
I made some records, I sat my head down
I settled in Madrid
I had two women but I wanted more
The one who loved me the most
I once said ,"Will you come with me?»
And he said yes
Today as 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
That they were going north
When I was younger life was all
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.
That I was on the arm of a guy who was never me
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.
That I was on the arm of a guy who was never me
