Verse 1 When I was young, the nights were louder Streets were warmer under my feet We didn’t know about tomorrow Only rhythm, only heat Guitars crying through the windows Summer dancing in our bones Every corner held a promise Every road felt like home ⸻ Pre-Chorus No maps, no fear, just moving faster Chasing light until it’s gone If I could steal one moment back It’s where the music pulled me on ⸻ Chorus When I was young, the fire was easy Every heartbeat knew the drum We didn’t ask, we just believed In what the night would become When I was young, the world was closer Hands in the air, lost in the sound I still hear it when I close my eyes That rhythm never lets me down ⸻ Verse 2 Shadows moving on the plaza Voices calling from the bar A bouzouki crying stories While the flamenco cut the dark We were spinning through the hours Sweat and laughter, skin and light Every song a small rebellion Every kiss a spark at night ⸻ Pre-Chorus Time was just another dancer Turning circles in the street If I lose myself again It’s to that reckless beat ⸻ Chorus When I was young, the fire was easy Every heartbeat knew the drum We didn’t ask, we just believed In what the night would become When I was young, the world was closer Hands in the air, lost in the sound I still hear it when I close my eyes That rhythm never lets me down ⸻ Bridge (half breakdown → build-up) Olas y fuego, luna y vino Bodies moving side by side From the islands to the border Same old hunger, different skies Let the guitar start the trouble Let the strings pull us inside If we’re older, let us dance like There’s no place left to hide ⸻ Final Chorus (extra energy) When I was young, the fire was easy Every heartbeat knew the drum Tonight we burn just like before Like the night is never done When I was young — and even now I feel it rising from the ground Turn it up, don’t slow it down That rhythm still runs wild and loud ⸻ Outro When I was young… I still am, when the music comes around.
