| Well I was thinking
| Bueno, estaba pensando
|
| I was thinking about the time we crossed the border
| Estaba pensando en la vez que cruzamos la frontera
|
| The stars in my ears
| Las estrellas en mis oídos
|
| the moon beating down on the water
| la luna golpeando el agua
|
| Said I was thinking
| Dije que estaba pensando
|
| I was thinking
| Yo estaba pensando
|
| about how young we were and fearless
| sobre lo jóvenes que éramos y sin miedo
|
| to have and to hold that moment
| tener y sostener ese momento
|
| so old in the time left
| tan viejo en el tiempo que queda
|
| Oh I had it once in the palm of my hand
| Oh, lo tuve una vez en la palma de mi mano
|
| just like quicksilver
| como el mercurio
|
| Yeah I had it once
| Sí, lo tuve una vez
|
| when I looked by the shores with your daughter
| cuando miré por las orillas con tu hija
|
| And your mother, and your father, and your sister, and your brother
| Y tu madre, y tu padre, y tu hermana, y tu hermano
|
| Now everybody is calling
| Ahora todo el mundo está llamando
|
| and why did we go across the Rio Grande
| y por qué cruzamos el Río Grande
|
| Said I was thinking
| Dije que estaba pensando
|
| I was trying to catch the way it was between us
| Estaba tratando de captar la forma en que estaba entre nosotros
|
| Seems like all that is calm
| Parece que todo eso es calma
|
| went down like a stone in the water
| cayó como una piedra en el agua
|
| Oh I had it once like a light in my life will last forever
| Oh, lo tuve una vez como una luz en mi vida que durará para siempre
|
| Oh I had it once
| Oh, lo tuve una vez
|
| when I looked by the shore’s with your daughter
| cuando miraba por la orilla con tu hija
|
| And your mother, and your father, and your sister, and your brother
| Y tu madre, y tu padre, y tu hermana, y tu hermano
|
| Now everybody is calling why did we go across the Rio Grande
| Ahora todo el mundo está llamando por qué cruzamos el Río Grande
|
| And your mother, and your father, and your sister, and your brother
| Y tu madre, y tu padre, y tu hermana, y tu hermano
|
| And your mother, and your father, and your sister, and your brother | Y tu madre, y tu padre, y tu hermana, y tu hermano |
