Traducción de la letra de la canción When You Were Mine - Frank Duval

When You Were Mine (original)

When you were mine, some memories
Of days gone by, just memories
I close my eyes and you are here again
And I feel once more the pain
When you were mine…
When you were mine, I was too young
To understand, so much too young
When you were mine, I rushed at life
Head over heels just like a (chance?)
When you were mine, there were (no matter?)
To live our life, my dreams could grow
And carry me into your heart
When you were mine, When you were mine…
And then one day I turned aside
Just to play and so much (tired?)
And I began to understand:
I’ve lost your love, I’ve lost love
And days gone by, when you were mine
When you were mine, we were too young
To understand, so much too young
When you were mine, life seemed to be
A flight into eternity
When you were mine, I reached the sky
I had your love and wings to fly
Life seemed to be an exciting game
When you were mine, When you were mine…
And then one day you turned aside
Just to play and so much (tired?)
You gave the love for a moment stream
When you were mine, When you were mine
When you were mine (and?) days gone by When you were mine, some memories
Of days gone by, just memories
And till today life seems to be alive
('Cos the memory all died?)
When you were mine
When you were mine, we were too young
To understand, so much too young
When you were mine, life seemed to be
A flight into eternity
When you were mine, I reached the skies
I had your love and wings to fly
Life seemed to be an exciting game
When you were mine, When you were mine

When You Were Mine (traducción)

Cuando fuiste mía, brotan recuerdos,
De días idos — ecos y reflejos,
Cierro los párpados: de nuevo habitas
Y arde el dolor, como brasa encendida,
Cuando fuiste mía…
Cuando fuiste mía, era yo tan joven,
Para comprender — tan joven, tan torpe.
Cuando fuiste mía, irrumpí en la vida
Como un cometa ciego, en su caída,
Cuando fuiste mía, nada importaba,
Vivíamos el pulso y mis sueños alzaban
Y me llevaban, raudos, hasta tu alma,
Cuando fuiste mía, cuando fuiste mía…
Y un día desvié mi senda,
Por jugar, cargado de fatiga incierta,
Y comencé a atisbar el sentido:
Perdí tu amor, y el amor perdido,
Y aquellos días, cuando fuiste mía,
Cuando fuiste mía, éramos tan tiernos,
Para comprender — tan jóvenes, tan lejos.
Cuando fuiste mía, la vida era
Un alud sin fin hacia la esfera eterna,
Cuando fuiste mía, rocé el firmamento,
Tu amor me dio alas, y vuelo sin tiempo.
La vida era un juego de asombro y llama,
Cuando fuiste mía, cuando fuiste mía…
Y un día tú volviste la mirada,
Por jugar, tan cansada del alba,
Entregaste el amor como agua en la fuente,
Cuando fuiste mía, cuando fuiste mía.
Cuando fuiste mía — y días marchitos — cuando fuiste mía, surgen memorias,
De días pasados — sólo las sombras,
Y aún hoy la vida parece encendida,
(¿Porque la memoria, al fin, se extinguía?)
Cuando fuiste mía
Cuando fuiste mía, éramos tan tiernos,
Para comprender — tan jóvenes, tan lejos.
Cuando fuiste mía, la vida era
Un alud sin fin hacia la esfera eterna,
Cuando fuiste mía, toqué los cielos,
Tu amor y mis alas cruzaron el tiempo.
La vida era un juego de asombro y llama,
Cuando fuiste mía, cuando fuiste mía
