Traducción de la letra de la canción Where Were You - Maria Mena

Where Were You (original)

I was a backing track
Saving my green voices back
Disguising the obvious
That I had no-one to sing for
I lived in a paper bin
which I lived curled up and forgotten in With an unfinished lovers hymn
Tattooed on my forehead
Oh, Oh, Oh,
Where were you?
Had I known you then
The outcome would have been better
I got used to the treadmill love
Where no matter how fast you run
You’re stuck at the starting point
Only exhausted
I was the anonymous author
Of songs I’d not dared to share
Lacking the audience of a lover’s ear
Oh, Oh, Oh,
Oh, Oh, Oh,
Where were you?
Had I know you then
The outcome would have been better
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented
Oh, Oh, Oh,
Where were you?
Had you known me then
The outcome would have been better

(traducción)

Yo era una pista de acompañamiento
Guardando mis voces verdes de vuelta
Disfrazar lo obvio
Que no tenía a nadie para cantar
Viví en una papelera
en la que viví acurrucada y olvidada con un himno de enamorados inacabado
Tatuado en mi frente
Ay, ay, ay,
¿Dónde estabas?
Si te hubiera conocido entonces
el resultado hubiera sido mejor
Me acostumbré a la caminadora amor
Donde no importa lo rápido que corras
Estás atascado en el punto de partida
solo agotado
yo era el autor anonimo
De canciones que no me atrevía a compartir
Sin la audiencia del oído de un amante
Ay, ay, ay,
Ay, ay, ay,
¿Dónde estabas?
Si te hubiera conocido entonces
el resultado hubiera sido mejor
Podrías haber evitado esto
Podrías haber evitado esto
Podrías haber evitado esto
Podrías haber evitado esto
Podrías haber evitado esto
Podrías haber evitado esto
Podrías haber evitado esto
Podrías haber prevenido
Ay, ay, ay,
¿Dónde estabas?
¿Me hubieras conocido entonces?
el resultado hubiera sido mejor
