| Every morning when I rise
| Cada mañana cuando me levanto
|
| I wipe the sleep out from my eyes
| Me limpio el sueño de mis ojos
|
| Ask myself the question why oh why
| Me hago la pregunta por qué oh por qué
|
| Was I born
| Nací
|
| I go out wandering the ripped up streets
| salgo a vagar por las calles destrozadas
|
| Bodies on the sidewalk huddling for heat
| Cuerpos en la acera acurrucados por el calor
|
| The whole world looking like some losing streak
| El mundo entero parece una racha perdedora
|
| Why was I born?
| ¿Por qué nací?
|
| I get home and you’re not there
| llego a casa y no estas
|
| But your clothes are hanging and your scent’s in the air
| Pero tu ropa está colgada y tu aroma está en el aire
|
| If it ain’t an answer I don’t care
| Si no es una respuesta, no me importa
|
| Why I was born
| por que naci
|
| I was born to love you
| Nací para amarte
|
| I was born to love you
| Nací para amarte
|
| I was born for love
| nací para el amor
|
| Last year I saw those pearly gates
| El año pasado vi esas puertas nacaradas
|
| Tried to shove my way through; | Intenté abrirme paso a empujones; |
| they said you gotta wait
| dijeron que tienes que esperar
|
| You’ve got to get some questions straight
| Tienes que aclarar algunas preguntas
|
| Like why you were born
| Como por qué naciste
|
| They said what do you think, that it was made for you
| Dijeron que te parece, que fue hecho para ti
|
| Why should anyone care what it is you do?
| ¿Por qué debería importarle a alguien lo que haces?
|
| The course gets set you got to see it through
| El curso se establece, tienes que verlo hasta el final
|
| That’s why you were born
| por eso naciste
|
| I got up; | Me levanté; |
| I saw them all
| los vi a todos
|
| All God’s creatures great and small
| Todas las criaturas de Dios grandes y pequeñas
|
| It came in clear as a local call
| Vino claro como una llamada local
|
| Why I was born
| por que naci
|
| I was born to love you
| Nací para amarte
|
| I was born to love you
| Nací para amarte
|
| I was born for love… | Nací para el amor... |
