| Yesterday I was a young man with a future hemmed with gold
| Ayer yo era un joven con un futuro bordeado de oro
|
| And today I’m just a soldier with no home to call my own
| Y hoy solo soy un soldado sin hogar al que llamar mío
|
| Sittin' by myself, playin' my guitar
| Sentado solo, tocando mi guitarra
|
| Tryin' to pass the time away
| Tratando de pasar el tiempo
|
| If tomorrow’s goin' to be like this
| Si mañana va a ser así
|
| I might as well die today
| Bien podría morir hoy
|
| I’m just a person who has never had a home
| Solo soy una persona que nunca ha tenido un hogar
|
| Had to fight all my life just to keep the things I own
| Tuve que luchar toda mi vida solo para conservar las cosas que poseo
|
| And some people they look down at me
| Y algunas personas me miran desde arriba
|
| As a man without a name
| Como un hombre sin nombre
|
| And tend to forget
| Y tienden a olvidar
|
| That they came from the same place that I came
| Que vienen del mismo lugar que yo vine
|
| All my friends they have forsaken me
| Todos mis amigos me han abandonado
|
| I guess that’s how life goes
| Supongo que así es como va la vida
|
| When you’re not in big demand
| Cuando no tienes una gran demanda
|
| Then you can’t buy fancy clothes
| Entonces no puedes comprar ropa elegante.
|
| And life’s backhand, one more time
| Y el revés de la vida, una vez más
|
| Has closed the gates for me
| Me ha cerrado las puertas
|
| And destroyed two years of hard work
| Y destruyó dos años de duro trabajo
|
| And set my prestige free
| Y liberar mi prestigio
|
| I’m just a person who has never had a home
| Solo soy una persona que nunca ha tenido un hogar
|
| Had to fight all my life just to keep the things I own
| Tuve que luchar toda mi vida solo para conservar las cosas que poseo
|
| And some people they look down at me
| Y algunas personas me miran desde arriba
|
| As a man without a name
| Como un hombre sin nombre
|
| They tend to forget
| Tienden a olvidar
|
| That they came from the same place that I came
| Que vienen del mismo lugar que yo vine
|
| I’m just a person who has never had a home

|
| Sittin' by myself, playin' my guitar
