| While you were sleeping, they pushed upon your door
| Mientras dormías empujaron tu puerta
|
| While you were sleeping, they crept along your floor
| Mientras dormías, se arrastraron por tu suelo
|
| You counted sheep and fantasised
| Contaste ovejas y fantaseaste
|
| This dreamless sleep would ever stop the cries
| Este sueño sin sueños alguna vez detendría los gritos
|
| Of a world that spins on selfishness and lies
| De un mundo que gira sobre el egoísmo y la mentira
|
| Such and awful sight, you close your eyes
| Tal y horrible vista, cierras los ojos
|
| While you were sleeping they all passed through
| Mientras dormías todos pasaron
|
| You entertained fair-weather friends and pretenders
| Entretuviste a amigos y pretendientes de buen tiempo
|
| While you were sleeping they all left you
| Mientras dormías todos te dejaron
|
| Without a penny for services rendered
| Sin un centavo por los servicios prestados
|
| While you were sleeping, they rifled through your draws. | Mientras dormías, rebuscaron en tus sorteos. |
| While you were
| mientras estabas
|
| sleeping it was no concern of yours
| dormir no era asunto tuyo
|
| In a world that spins on selfishness and lies
| En un mundo que gira sobre el egoísmo y la mentira
|
| Such an awful sight, you close your eyes
| Una vista tan horrible, cierras los ojos
|
| While you were sleeping they all passed through
| Mientras dormías todos pasaron
|
| You entertained fair-weather friends and pretenders
| Entretuviste a amigos y pretendientes de buen tiempo
|
| While you were sleeping they all left you
| Mientras dormías todos te dejaron
|
| Without a penny for services rendered
| Sin un centavo por los servicios prestados
|
| Wake up!
| ¡Despierta!
|
| The dawn will come today
| El amanecer llegará hoy
|
| You’ll be climbing out that bed to nothing
| Saldrás de esa cama a la nada
|
| Just because you turn away from everything
| Solo porque te alejas de todo
|
| Doesn’t mean to say it isn’t happening
| No significa decir que no está sucediendo
|
| While you were sleeping they torched your home
| Mientras dormías incendiaron tu casa
|
| Tore the clothes from off the body you surrendered
| Arrancó la ropa del cuerpo que entregaste
|
| While you were sleeping they all left you
| Mientras dormías todos te dejaron
|
| Without a penny for services rendered
| Sin un centavo por los servicios prestados
|
| They tore the clothes from off the body you surrendered
| Arrancaron la ropa del cuerpo que entregaste
|
| They took your life away and nobody remembered
| Te quitaron la vida y nadie se acordaba
|
| Just because you turn away from everything
| Solo porque te alejas de todo
|
| Doesn’t mean to say it isn’t happening | No significa decir que no está sucediendo |
