Traducción de la letra de la canción Walking With the Beggar Boys (features Vic Chesnutt on vocals) - Elf Power

Walking With the Beggar Boys (features Vic Chesnutt on vocals) (original)

Well, I walked along and I felt like pretending
The earth stopped moving and nothing was ending
I saw the beggar boys in different places
They wore dirty rags and filthy faces
I told them 'hello' and they came and they followed
I gave them my bread and they chewed and the swallowed
And they picked me up and took my hand
And I never felt like a better man
Well, love was just a dream
You know I never got no sleep
Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street
Well, we talked all night and I felt very tired
So I laid down and I looked at the fire
And I thought about nothing at all
And then in the morning I was up at dawn
We talked to the people who wanted to hide us
Nothing they said then could ever divide us
And I pulled out everything I know
And I never ever went back home
Well, love was just a dream
You know I never got no sleep
Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street
Take me
I was you (you were me)
He was she (she was he)
They were us (we were they)
It was real (we were free)
I was God (God is cool)
God is you (God is me)
I was one (we were two)
They were three (three is three)
I was me (you were you)
Love was us (we were love)
I was gone (you were there)
You were here (I was everywhere)
I was this (this is me)
I was young (you were old)
I was hot (you were cold)
I was all (You were everything)
Love was just a dream
You know I never got no sleep
Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street
Yeah, love was just a dream
You know I never got no sleep
Walking hand in hand with the beggar boys down the street

(traducción)

Bueno, caminé y tuve ganas de fingir
La tierra dejo de moverse y nada terminaba
Vi a los niños mendigos en diferentes lugares
Llevaban trapos sucios y caras sucias
Les dije 'hola' y vinieron y me siguieron
Les di mi pan y ellos masticaron y tragaron
Y me levantaron y tomaron mi mano
Y nunca me sentí como un mejor hombre
Bueno, el amor fue solo un sueño
Sabes que nunca dormí
Caminando de la mano con los niños mendigos por la calle
Bueno, hablamos toda la noche y me sentía muy cansada.
Así que me acosté y miré el fuego
Y no pensé en nada en absoluto
Y luego en la mañana me levanté al amanecer
Hablamos con las personas que querían escondernos
Nada de lo que dijeron entonces podría dividirnos
Y saqué todo lo que sé
Y nunca jamás volví a casa
Bueno, el amor fue solo un sueño
Sabes que nunca dormí
Caminando de la mano con los niños mendigos por la calle
Tómame
yo era tu (tú eras yo)
Él era ella (ella era él)
Ellos eran nosotros (nosotros éramos ellos)
Fue real (éramos libres)
Yo era Dios (Dios es genial)
Dios eres tú (Dios soy yo)
Yo era uno (éramos dos)
Eran tres (tres es tres)
yo era yo (tú eras tú)
El amor éramos nosotros (éramos amor)
Yo me había ido (tú estabas allí)
Tú estabas aquí (yo estaba en todas partes)
Yo era esto (este soy yo)
yo era joven (tú eras viejo)
Yo tenía calor (tú tenías frío)
yo era todo (tú eras todo)
El amor era solo un sueño
Sabes que nunca dormí
Caminando de la mano con los niños mendigos por la calle
Sí, el amor era solo un sueño
Sabes que nunca dormí
Caminando de la mano con los niños mendigos por la calle
