English translation:
She has been my girlfriend since I can remember
The good kind of love since I saw her.
I already had a space in my notebook
For painting her name and showing off
She loved me when next to the finishing line
I came second from last in the marathon.
She loves me whether insensitive or a poet
A genius, a minister or a joker
Chorus:
{
My girlfriend is getting old on me
And it is a bit difficult for her to walk.
Three months without me coming over and she
Serves another coffee on a tray for her love
My girlfriend is getting old on me
And I was just beginning to fall in love
With the weight of the things that she advises
With her universal gift of forgiving
}
She is my girlfriend and does not blackmail me
Nor set rules of fidelity.
She played cupid for me to everyone
Regardless of exclusivity
She loves me the same whether I go as a guerrilla warrior
Or win the Nobel Peace Prize.
It is the same to her whether I finish last or first
Whether I am conformist or stubborn
{Chorus}
My girlfriend always has a place set for me
In case some day I think about coming back
And she prepared a loan in the bank
In case it might be needed some day
There is no curve that would distance me from my girlfriend
Since there never was a ‘maybe’ on her lips
And although the analogy is so obvious
You will know that I am talking only about you
