| I walked across the bridge to the island
| Crucé el puente hacia la isla
|
| And sat down in the grass by the old homestead
| Y se sentó en la hierba junto a la antigua granja
|
| I listened to the song of the cicadas
| Escuché el canto de las cigarras
|
| And thought about the one whose hair was red
| Y pensé en el que tenía el pelo rojo
|
| This is where she gave birth to my father
| Aquí es donde ella dio a luz a mi padre.
|
| Back when she was just a newlywed
| Cuando ella era solo una recién casada
|
| You wouldn’t know it looking at this picture
| No lo sabrías mirando esta imagen
|
| That her eyes were blue, her hair was red
| Que sus ojos eran azules, su cabello era rojo
|
| You wouldn’t know she traveled far and wide
| No sabrías que ella viajó a lo largo y ancho
|
| You wouldn’t know she lived here all her life
| No sabrías que ella vivió aquí toda su vida.
|
| There’s so much you’ll never know about her
| Hay tanto que nunca sabrás sobre ella
|
| So much left to say that’s left unsaid
| Tanto queda por decir que no se ha dicho
|
| But I had this picture in my memory
| Pero tenía esta imagen en mi memoria
|
| And her eyes were blue, her hair was red
| Y sus ojos eran azules, su cabello era rojo
|
| Yes, her eyes were baby blue and her hair was red | Sí, sus ojos eran azul bebé y su cabello era rojo. |
