| They can’t take it from me, if they tried
| No pueden quitármelo, si lo intentaran
|
| I lived through those early days
| Viví esos primeros días
|
| So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
| Tantas veces tuve que cambiar el dolor por risa
|
| Just to keep from getting crazed
| Solo para no enloquecer
|
| Dressed in black from head to toe
| Vestida de negro de pies a cabeza
|
| Two guitars across our backs, we would walk the city roads
| Dos guitarras en nuestras espaldas, caminábamos por las calles de la ciudad
|
| Seeking someone who would listen to the music
| Buscando a alguien que escucharía la música
|
| That we were writing down at home
| Que anotamos en casa
|
| They can’t take it from me, if they tried
| No pueden quitármelo, si lo intentaran
|
| I lived through those early days
| Viví esos primeros días
|
| So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
| Tantas veces tuve que cambiar el dolor por risa
|
| Just to keep from getting crazy
| Solo para evitar volverse loco
|
| Hair slicked back with Vaseline
| Cabello peinado hacia atrás con vaselina
|
| Like the pictures on the wall of the local record shop
| Como las imágenes en la pared de la tienda de discos local
|
| Hearing noises we were destined to remember
| Escuchar ruidos que estábamos destinados a recordar
|
| We willed the thrill to never stop
| Queríamos que la emoción nunca se detuviera
|
| May sweet memories of friends from the past
| Que dulces recuerdos de amigos del pasado
|
| Always come to you, when you look for them
| Siempre vienen a ti, cuando los buscas
|
| And your inspiration, long may it last
| Y tu inspiración, que dure mucho
|
| May it come to you, time and time again
| Que llegue a ti, una y otra vez
|
| Now everybody seems to have their own opinion
| Ahora todo el mundo parece tener su propia opinión.
|
| Who did this and who did that
| quien hizo esto y quien hizo aquello
|
| But as for me I don’t see how they can remember
| Pero en cuanto a mí, no veo cómo pueden recordar
|
| When they weren’t where it was at
| Cuando no estaban donde estaba
|
| They can’t take it from me, if they tried
| No pueden quitármelo, si lo intentaran
|
| I lived through those early days
| Viví esos primeros días
|
| So many times I had to change the pain to laughter
| Tantas veces tuve que cambiar el dolor por risa
|
| Just to keep from getting crazed
| Solo para no enloquecer
|
| I lived through those early days
| Viví esos primeros días
|
| I lived through those early days | Viví esos primeros días |
