| On the beach I limped and held your weary hand
| En la playa cojeé y sostuve tu mano cansada
|
| That windy day we slept well past noon
| Ese día ventoso dormimos hasta bien pasado el mediodía
|
| Too busy counting every grain of sand
| Demasiado ocupado contando cada grano de arena
|
| To even have a ghost of a clue
| Incluso tener un fantasma de una pista
|
| I played in the waves like a five-year-old child
| Jugué en las olas como un niño de cinco años
|
| Timing my jumps with the rolling tide
| Cronometrando mis saltos con la marea
|
| I never looked to see you on the shore
| Nunca miré para verte en la orilla
|
| Planning your escape and drying your eyes
| Planificando tu escape y secando tus ojos
|
| Had you known for a week, a month, or a year
| ¿Lo sabías desde hace una semana, un mes o un año?
|
| Had you been trying in vain to let me know?
| ¿Habías estado tratando en vano de hacérmelo saber?
|
| Somehow I never noticed your tears
| De alguna manera nunca noté tus lágrimas
|
| And sitting there smiling I watched you go
| Y sentado allí sonriendo te vi ir
|
| I laid on back, listening to the waves
| Me recosté de espaldas, escuchando las olas
|
| Humming a song that you never knew
| Tarareando una canción que nunca supiste
|
| The water wet your feet
| El agua moja tus pies
|
| As you crossed through the sand
| Mientras cruzabas por la arena
|
| And whispered that you’d be back soon
| Y susurró que volverías pronto
|
| I never thought to ask you when
| Nunca pensé en preguntarte cuando
|
| Blind to the sorrow you were laying to rest
| Ciego al dolor que estabas dejando descansar
|
| I never thought to tell you to jump back in
| Nunca pensé en decirte que volvieras a saltar
|
| And sitting there smiling I watched you go
| Y sentado allí sonriendo te vi ir
|
| I watched you go
| Te vi ir
|
| I watched you go
| Te vi ir
|
| I watched you go | Te vi ir |
