Translation of the song lyrics Dulces Momentos de Ayer - Juan Gabriel

Dulces Momentos de Ayer (original)

Dulces momentos de ayer, 1963,
dias que no volveran,
noches que nunca olvidare.
Aquel tiempo era el noa noa sensacion
los prisioneros del ritmo,
los reyes del rock,
tocaban sin parar,
cantaban sin cesar, pero hoy…
Pensar que jamas
los dulces dias del ayer
ya no volveran
mis dulces años dieciseis.
Yo bailando en el noa noa era feliz
y cantando en el noa noa conoci
a mi primer amor,
era tan joven yo para amar.
Ame, como no!
he vuelto a amar, jamas igual
ya todo acabo y ella y yo nos vemos mas.
Aquel tiempo era el noa noa sensacion
los prisioneros del ritmo, los reyes del rock
tocaban sin parar, cantaban sin cesar pero hoy…
(mmmhhh)
Aquel tiempo era el noa noa sensacion
los prisioneros del ritmo, los reyes del rock,
yo bailando en el noa noa era feliz
y cantando en el noa noa conoci
a mi primer amor, a mi primer amor…

Dulces Momentos de Ayer (translation)

Sweet Moments From Yesterday, 1963,
days that will not return,
nights I will never forget.
That time was the noa noa sensation
the prisoners of rhythm,
the kings of rock,
They played nonstop
They sang endlessly, but today...
to think that never
the sweet days of yesterday
they won't come back
my sweet sixteen.
I was happy dancing in the noa noa
and singing in the noa noa I met
to my first love,
I was too young to love.
Love, of course!
I have loved again, never the same
everything is over and she and I see each other more.
That time was the noa noa sensation
the prisoners of rhythm, the kings of rock
They played nonstop, sang nonstop, but today...
(mmhhh)
That time was the noa noa sensation
the prisoners of rhythm, the kings of rock,
me dancing in the noa noa was happy
and singing in the noa noa I met
to my first love, to my first love...
