| On the museum island,
| En la isla de los museos,
|
| At the end of the day,
| Al final del día,
|
| we had travelled for miles,
| habíamos viajado por millas,
|
| We had come to escape
| habíamos venido a escapar
|
| All the space on the page
| Todo el espacio de la página
|
| That the newspapers gave
| Que los periódicos dieron
|
| Up to pictures and pictures of us.
| Hasta fotos y fotos de nosotros.
|
| As we followed the coffin
| Mientras seguíamos el ataúd
|
| Of your famous father.
| De tu famoso padre.
|
| Adjusting our skirts
| Ajustando nuestras faldas
|
| As we turned at the altar.
| Mientras nos volvíamos en el altar.
|
| And within every word
| Y dentro de cada palabra
|
| That they’d written, was spelt out
| Que habían escrito, fue explicado
|
| You’d taken your last ever bus.
| Habías tomado tu último autobús.
|
| So skimming the surface
| Así que rozando la superficie
|
| Of all your new money,
| De todo tu nuevo dinero,
|
| we skimmed the surface
| rozamos la superficie
|
| Of the air as we flew.
| Del aire mientras volamos.
|
| we were out of the rain,
| estábamos fuera de la lluvia,
|
| we were thinking that maybe
| Estábamos pensando que tal vez
|
| Berlin was the place to renew.
| Berlín era el lugar para renovarse.
|
| well you know what they say
| bueno ya sabes lo que dicen
|
| About terrible hate —
| Sobre el odio terrible—
|
| It will breed something good
| Producirá algo bueno
|
| When it’s through.
| Cuando haya terminado.
|
| At the end of the day,
| Al final del día,
|
| By the Potsdamer Place
| Por el lugar de Potsdamer
|
| And the Brandenburg Gate,
| y la puerta de Brandemburgo,
|
| It was you.
| Fuiste tu.
|
| You have hardened completely
| te has endurecido por completo
|
| By the end of this story,
| Al final de esta historia,
|
| You have learned to look clear
| Has aprendido a ver claro
|
| Through the flash of a bulb,
| A través del destello de una bombilla,
|
| When you hear your own name
| Cuando escuchas tu propio nombre
|
| From the back of a crowd,
| Desde el fondo de una multitud,
|
| You just straighten your gaze,
| Solo enderezas tu mirada,
|
| No you don’t turn around.
| No, no te das la vuelta.
|
| Oh but there was a time
| Oh, pero hubo un tiempo
|
| At the end of the day,
| Al final del día,
|
| We were both stood in line
| Ambos estábamos parados en la fila
|
| At the museum display,
| En la exhibición del museo,
|
| And you outshone the light
| Y eclipsaste la luz
|
| Under which you were bathed,
| bajo el cual te bañabas,
|
| You could outshine the sky
| Podrías eclipsar el cielo
|
| With the look that you gave,
| Con la mirada que le diste,
|
| Oh so don’t be afraid
| Oh, entonces no tengas miedo
|
| To look back and wave,
| Para mirar hacia atrás y saludar,
|
| Now that waving is all that you do.
| Ahora que agitar es todo lo que haces.
|
| At the end of the day,
| Al final del día,
|
| By the Potsdamer Place,
| Por la plaza Potsdamer,
|
| I am waving back at you.
| Te estoy saludando.
|
| So don’t be afraid
| Así que no tengas miedo
|
| To look back and wave,
| Para mirar hacia atrás y saludar,
|
| Now that waving is all that you do.
| Ahora que agitar es todo lo que haces.
|
| At the end of the day,
| Al final del día,
|
| By the Potsdamer Place,
| Por la plaza Potsdamer,
|
| I am waving back at you. | Te estoy saludando. |
