| When she was home
| cuando ella estaba en casa
|
| She was a swan
| ella era un cisne
|
| When she was out she was a tiger
| Cuando ella estaba fuera era un tigre
|
| And a tiger in the wild is not tied to anyone
| Y un tigre en la naturaleza no está atado a nadie
|
| When she was lost
| cuando ella estaba perdida
|
| She was a toad
| ella era un sapo
|
| The day I found her on the road
| El día que la encontré en el camino
|
| I gave her water and a rose
| le di agua y una rosa
|
| And as she stretched
| Y mientras se estiraba
|
| The sun rose
| Salió el sol
|
| Go
| Vamos
|
| Go
| Vamos
|
| Go away
| Vete
|
| When she was young
| Cuando ella era joven
|
| She was a cow
| ella era una vaca
|
| And all day long
| y todo el dia
|
| She milked the stars
| Ella ordeñó las estrellas
|
| She taught me
| Ella me enseñó
|
| Women to survive
| Mujeres para sobrevivir
|
| Must be unfaithful to their child
| Debe ser infiel a su hijo
|
| Of all the wonders of the world
| De todas las maravillas del mundo
|
| She was a lady with a bird
| Ella era una dama con un pájaro
|
| She must have had so many lives
| Ella debe haber tenido tantas vidas
|
| Was it the first?
| ¿Fue el primero?
|
| Was it the last?
| ¿Fue el último?
|
| Go
| Vamos
|
| Go
| Vamos
|
| Go away
| Vete
|
| When she was ill
| cuando ella estaba enferma
|
| She was a whale
| ella era una ballena
|
| She was so patient she would wait
| Era tan paciente que esperaría
|
| Until I sang her by the lane
| Hasta que la canté por el carril
|
| The sweetest tunes to ease her pain
| Las melodías más dulces para aliviar su dolor.
|
| When she was old
| cuando ella era vieja
|
| She was an owl
| ella era una lechuza
|
| I saw her swaying in the sky
| La vi balanceándose en el cielo
|
| And when she died inside my arms
| Y cuando murió dentro de mis brazos
|
| I realised she was a cat
| Me di cuenta de que era un gato.
|
| Go
| Vamos
|
| Go
| Vamos
|
| Go away
| Vete
|
| Sometimes I wonder
| A veces me pregunto
|
| If my child
| si mi hijo
|
| Will have her eyes
| tendrá sus ojos
|
| To see through me
| Para ver a través de mí
|
| And when I die
| Y cuando muera
|
| And I am born again
| Y yo nazco de nuevo
|
| What will I be
| Que sere
|
| A cat?
| ¿Un gato?
|
| A stone?
| ¿Una piedra?
|
| A tree? | ¿Un árbol? |
