Translation in Spanish

verse

If I told you things I did before, told you how I used to be
Si te dijera las cosas que hice, te dijera cómo solía ser
Would you go along with someone like me?
¿Podrías salir con alguien como yo?
If you knew my story word for word, had all of my history
Si tú supieras mi historia palabra por palabra ,
Would you go along with someone like me?
¿Podrías salir con alguien como yo?
I did before and had my share, it didn′t lead nowhere
Lo hice antes y salí con alguien , eso no me llevo a ningún lado
I would go along with someone like you
Podría salir con alguien como tú
It doesn't matter what you did, who you were hanging with
Y no importa lo que hiciste, con quien saliste
We could stick around and see this night through
Podemos salir a dar la vuelta y ver a dónde nos lleva esta noche

chorus

And we don′t care about the young folks
Y no importa lo que digan los jóvenes
Talking 'bout the young style
Hablando del estilo joven
And we don't care about the old folks
Y no importara lo que digan los mayores
Talking ′bout the old style too
Hablando del estilo viejo
And we don′t care about our own folks
Y no nos preocupa nuestra propia gente
Talking 'bout our own style
Hablando de nuestro estilo
All we care ′bout is talking
Todo lo que nos importa es estar hablando
Talking only me and you
Hablando solo tú y yo

verse

Usually when things has gone this far people tend to disappear
Usualmente cuando las cosas van lejos la gente desaparece
No one will surprise me unless you do
Nadie se sorprendería si me dejas
I can tell there's something goin′ on, hours seems to disappear
Puedo decir que algo esta pasando, las horas parecen desaparecer
Everyone is leaving, I'm still with you
Todos se están yendo , yo me quedare contigo
It doesn′t matter what we do, where we are going to
No importa lo que hagamos, donde vayamos
We can stick around and see this night through
Podemos quedarnos y ver qué tal esta noche

chorus

And we don't care about the young folks
Y no importa lo que digan los jóvenes
Talking 'bout the young style
Hablando del estilo joven
And we don′t care about the old folks
Y no importara lo que digan los mayores
Talking ′bout the old style too
Hablando del estilo viejo
And we don't care about our own folks
Y no nos preocupa nuestra propia gente
Talking ′bout our own style
Hablando de nuestro estilo
All we care 'bout is talking
Todo lo que nos importa es estar hablando
Talking only me and you
Hablando solo tú y yo
And we don′t care about the young folks
Y no importa lo que digan los jóvenes

Hablando del estilo joven
