Letras de I Never Knew His Name - Linda Eder

I Never Knew His Name (original)

I never knew his name, as he called to me
Pleading with his eyes, suddenly so wise
Trying not to cry
Now he’s gone and I never knew his name
I’ve seen his kind before rising to his fall
God, he was so young like a song half sung
Interrupted by someone just as shy
Who never knew his name
The true cost of honor is suddenly too clear
It measures too full and dear
He always looks the same dressed in blue or gray
All the life he’ll miss, girls he’ll never kiss
Things he’ll never try
Unaware that I never knew his name
I never knew his name, guess it’s just as well
So I do my part, hiding from my heart
Whispering goodbye
Thanking God that I never knew his name

(traducción)

Nunca supe su nombre, como me llamaba
Suplicando con sus ojos, de repente tan sabio
tratando de no llorar
Ahora se ha ido y nunca supe su nombre
He visto a los de su clase antes de levantarse a su caída
Dios, era tan joven como una canción a medio cantar
Interrumpido por alguien igual de tímido
Quien nunca supo su nombre
El verdadero costo del honor es de repente demasiado claro
Mide demasiado lleno y caro
Siempre se ve igual vestido de azul o gris
Toda la vida que extrañará, chicas que nunca besará
Cosas que nunca intentará
Sin saber que nunca supe su nombre
Nunca supe su nombre, supongo que está bien
Así que hago mi parte, escondiéndome de mi corazón
Susurrando adiós
Agradeciendo a Dios que nunca supe su nombre
