[English]

Come, come, come, come, come, come, come

The boys with the girls

must be together

The girls with the boys

should live

And being all together

they must sing

The old folks will stop

imitating me

They’ll modernize

They'll find it hard to laugh

The stone age is over

at least around here

And with you

I have to live

I want to be happy

(Come) come live

Come, come live

Come, come live

Then we’ll be very happy

(Come) come live

Come, come live

Come, and I’ll make you happy

Things have changed

I am happy

The boys with the girls

can live

We’ve finally won

We must laugh

Nobody will stop us

from

walking out at dusk

dancing and even running

People won’t stare at us

There’s nothing to hide

And even the old folks

will understand

that you have to live

(Come) come live

Come, come live

Come, come live

and then we’ll be very happy

(Come) come live

Come, come live

Come, and I’ll make you happy

The boys with the girls

must be together

The girls with the boys

should live

And being all together

they must sing

...

[Spanish]

Ven, ven, ven, ven, ven, ven, ven

Los chicos con las chicas

tienen que estar

Las chicas con los chicos

han de vivir

Y estando todos juntos

deben cantar

Los viejos pararán

me imitarán a mí

Se modernizarán

les costará reír

La edad de piedra ya pasó

al menos por aquí

Y yo contigo

tengo que vivir

quiero ser feliz

(Ven) ven a vivir

Ven, ven a vivir

Ven, ven a vivir

así seremos muy felices

(Ven) ven a vivir

Ven, ven a vivir

Ven, y yo te haré feliz

Las cosas han cambiado

yo soy feliz

Los chicos con las chicas

pueden vivir

Por fin hemos ganado

hay que reír

No nos impedirán

que al anochecer

Podamos pasear

bailar y hasta correr

La gente no nos mirará

no hay nada que esconder

Y hasta los viejos

van a comprender

que tú has de vivir

(Ven) ven a vivir

Ven, ven a vivir

Ven, ven a vivir

y así seremos muy felices

(Ven) ven a vivir

Ven, ven a vivir

Ven, y yo te haré feliz

Los chicos con las chicas

tienen que estar

Las chicas con los chicos

han de vivir

Y estando todos juntos

deben cantar
