Jovanotti — Tiempo song lyrics and translation

The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Tiempo" by Jovanotti.

Lyrics

Tiempo es una palabra
que empieza y que se acaba
que se bebe y se termina
que corre despacio y que pasa deprisa.
Tiempo es una palabra
que se enciende y que se apaga
ni se tiene ni se atrapa
no se gira ni se para.
El tiempo no se detiene
ni se compra ni se vende
no se coge ni se agarra
se le odia o se le quiere.
Al tiempo no se le habla
ni se escucha ni se calla
pasa y nunca se repite
ni se duerme y nunca engaña.
Tiempo para entender, para jugar, para querer
tiempo para aprender, para pensar, para saber.
Un beso dura lo que dura un beso
un sueño dura lo que dura un sueño
el tiempo dura lo que dura el tiempo
curioso elemento el tiempo.
El tiempo sopla cuando sopla el viento
el tiempo ladra cuando ladra el perro
el tiempo rie si tu estás riendo
curioso elemento el tiempo

Lyrics translation

Time is a word
that begins and ends
that is drunk and finished
running slow and passing fast.
Time is a word
that turns on and off
neither is it held nor is it caught
it doesn't turn or stop.
Time does not stand still
neither bought nor sold
it doesn't catch or grab
you hate him or you love him.
At the time you don't talk to him
you don't listen, you don't shut up.
it happens and never happens again
he doesn't even sleep and never cheats.
Time to understand, to play, to want
time to learn, to think, to know.
A kiss lasts what a kiss lasts
a dream lasts what a dream lasts
time lasts what time lasts
curious element time.
Time blows when the wind blows
time barks when the dog barks
time laughs if you're laughing
curious element the time
