Lyrics of Viejo Corazón - Mercedes Sosa

Viejo Corazón (original)

Eras joven, fuerte, tierno
Noble corazon
Sin reservas para darte en el amor
Lo mismo que yo
Yo era amigo del camino
Con luna o con sol
Peregrino de mil sueños y en amor
Lo mismo que vos
Juntos nos vieron pasar
Cerros, valles, piedras, luna y sol
Siempre juntos por la huella
Ibamos tu y yo
Cajoneandome en el pecho
Me dabas valor
Si el cansancio me empezaba a doblegar
Viejo corazon
Ya te estas poniendo viejo
Pobre corazon
Te presiento ya sin ganas de seguir
Lo mismo que yo
Me ha cansado la huella larga
Sola y sin amor
Hoy ansio estarme quieto y descansar
Lo mismo que vos
Ya no nos veran pasar
Cerros, valles, piedra luna y sol
Somos dos viejos vencidos
Pobre corazon
Andaremos lo que falta
Juntitos los dos
Queda muy poco camino por andar
Viejo corazon

(translation)

You were young, strong, tender
Noble heart
Without reservations to give you in love
the same as me
I was a friend of the way
With moon or with sun
Pilgrim of a thousand dreams and in love
The same as you
Together they saw us pass
Hills, valleys, stones, moon and sun
Always together by the mark
We were you and me
cajoneandome in the chest
you gave me value
If the tiredness began to bend me
old heart
you're already getting old
Poor heart
I already feel you without wanting to continue
the same as me
The long footprint has tired me
alone and without love
Today I long to be still and rest
The same as you
They will no longer see us pass
Hills, valleys, moonstone and sun
We are two defeated old men
Poor heart
We will walk what is missing
Together the two
There is very little way to go
old heart
