Traducción de la letra de la canción When I Was a Man and You Were a Woman - John Foxx

When I Was a Man and You Were a Woman (original)

When I was a man and you were a woman
We practiced ourselves every day
Every night
A man with no outline
Walking in the shadows
A girl with a blurred face
Leaning in the windows
Living our lives on the tides of this city
Moving me to you
Moving me through you
Moving you to me
Moving you through me
When I was a man and you were a woman
When I was a man and you were a woman
We met in the arcades
Where the people were meeting
We danced down the avenues
While the people were sleeping
Living our lives on the tides of this city
Moving me to you
Moving me through you
Moving you to me
Moving you through me
I was a swimmer in a foggy bar
I was trying to find some sea
I was the sound of the furniture
I was a silhouette for years
She had some blossom on the tip of her tongue
She was the surface of a trade
She was a model for an echo dress
Oh she looked so gold against the grey
When I was a man and you were a woman
When I was a man and you were a woman

When I Was a Man and You Were a Woman (traducción)

Cuando yo era hombre y tu eras mujer
Practicamos todos los días
Cada noche
Un hombre sin contorno
Caminando en las sombras
Una chica con la cara borrosa
Apoyado en las ventanas
Viviendo nuestras vidas en las mareas de esta ciudad
Moviendome a ti
Moviéndome a través de ti
Moviéndote hacia mí
Moviéndote a través de mí
Cuando yo era hombre y tu eras mujer
Cuando yo era hombre y tu eras mujer
Nos conocimos en las arcadas
Donde la gente se reunía
Bailamos por las avenidas
Mientras la gente dormía
Viviendo nuestras vidas en las mareas de esta ciudad
Moviendome a ti
Moviéndome a través de ti
Moviéndote hacia mí
Moviéndote a través de mí
Yo era un nadador en un bar con niebla
Estaba tratando de encontrar algo de mar
yo era el sonido de los muebles
Fui una silueta durante años
Tenía una flor en la punta de la lengua
Ella era la superficie de un comercio
Ella fue modelo para un vestido echo
Oh, se veía tan dorada contra el gris
Cuando yo era hombre y tu eras mujer
Cuando yo era hombre y tu eras mujer
