| I was looking for you
| Te estaba buscando
|
| You were buried under the sand
| Estabas enterrado bajo la arena
|
| I was so busy painting pictures
| estaba tan ocupado pintando cuadros
|
| Of the kings and queens who ruled this land
| De los reyes y reinas que gobernaron esta tierra
|
| And they tried to hang me
| Y trataron de colgarme
|
| From the gallows pole down in the yard
| Desde el poste de la horca en el patio
|
| Oh, I spent my time
| Oh, pasé mi tiempo
|
| Building a house of cards.
| Construyendo un castillo de naipes.
|
| I watched you building
| Te vi construir
|
| Your bridges again
| Tus puentes otra vez
|
| Just like a thief you never know when to stop
| Al igual que un ladrón, nunca sabes cuándo parar
|
| Or to start taking revenge
| O para empezar a vengarse
|
| Oh, I tried so hard, I tried so hard
| Oh, lo intenté tanto, lo intenté tanto
|
| I tried so hard
| Lo intenté tanto
|
| But I just built myself a house
| Pero acabo de construirme una casa
|
| Out of your regards.
| Fuera de tus saludos.
|
| I was looking for you
| Te estaba buscando
|
| You were waiting for me
| me estabas esperando
|
| Your shoes are sacred
| Tus zapatos son sagrados
|
| There’s nothing left that you haven’t seen
| No queda nada que no hayas visto
|
| And I watched you swinging
| Y te vi balancearte
|
| Watched you swinging down so far
| Te vi balancearte hacia abajo hasta ahora
|
| I was looking for you
| Te estaba buscando
|
| In my house of cards.
| En mi castillo de naipes.
|
| I saw you standing there
| Te vi parado ahí
|
| In the luggage van
| En la furgoneta de equipaje
|
| And I held you for a lifetime
| Y te sostuve toda la vida
|
| Hoping you might understand
| Esperando que puedas entender
|
| I tried to give you reasons
| Traté de darte razones
|
| Tried to tie you down to false regards
| Intenté atarte a falsos saludos
|
| But you left me on an island
| Pero me dejaste en una isla
|
| Left me in my house of cards. | Me dejó en mi castillo de naipes. |
