Lyrics
Español
¿Te acordás, hermano? ¡Qué tiempos aquellos! Eran otros hombres, más hombres los nuestros No se conocía cocó, ni morfina, Los muchachos de antes no usaban gomina. ¿Te acordás, hermano? ¡Qué tiempos aquellos! ¡Veinticinco abriles que no volverán! ¡Veinticinco abriles! ¡Volver a tenerlos! ¡Si cuando me acuerdo, me pongo a llorar! ¿Dónde están los muchachos de entonces? Barra antigua de ayer ¿Dónde está? Yo y vos solos quedamos, hermano, Yo y vos solos para recordar... ¿Dónde están las mujeres aquellas, minas fieles, de gran corazón, que en los bailes de Laura peleaban cada cual defendiendo su amor? ¿Te acordás, hermano, la rubia Mireya que quité en lo de Hansen, al loco Cepeda? ¡Casi me suicido una noche por ella... y hoy es una pobre mendiga harapienta! ¿Te acordás, hermano, lo linda que era? Se formaba rueda pa´ verla bailar... Cuando por la calle la veo tan vieja Doy vuelta la cara y me pongo a llorar...

Do you remember, brother? What times those were! They were other men, our men were more men There was no coconut, no morphine, The boys of yesteryear didn't use hair gel. Do you remember, brother? What times those were! Twenty-five years that will never come back! Twenty-five years! To have them again! When I remember, I start to cry! Where are the boys from back then? Yesterday's old bar, where is it? Me and you are alone, brother, Me and you alone to remember... Where are those women, faithful mines, of great heart, who at Laura's dances fought each one defending her love? Do you remember, brother, the blonde Mireya that I took away at Hansen's, from crazy Cepeda? I almost committed suicide one night for her... and today she's a poor ragged beggar! Do you remember, brother, how pretty she was? She used to form a wheel to see her dance... When I see her so old on the street I turn my face away and start to cry...
