You And I (When We Were Young) (original)

I sometimes sit and think about our evenings in the firelight
You and I when we were young
Laughing at the crazy-patterned shadows that were dancing on the wall
Without a care, with time to spend
Hardly speaking for hours on end
That was you and I when we were young
Walking hand in hand beside the river at the weekends
You and I when we were young
Children with their fishing nets were laughing as they took their catches home
Caterpillars in paper bags
Knees tied up with dirty rags
That was you and I when we were young
Brushing through the fallen leaves together in the autumn
You and I when we were young
Planning for the future without knowing what it held for us at all
The road to nowhere never climbs
We changed direction a dozen times
That was you and I when we were young

(traducción)

A veces me siento y pienso en nuestras tardes a la luz del fuego
tú y yo cuando éramos jóvenes
Riéndose de las sombras con dibujos locos que bailaban en la pared
Sin un cuidado, con tiempo para gastar
Apenas hablando durante horas y horas
Éramos tú y yo cuando éramos jóvenes
Caminar de la mano junto al río los fines de semana
tú y yo cuando éramos jóvenes
Los niños con sus redes de pesca se reían mientras se llevaban sus capturas a casa.
Orugas en bolsas de papel
Rodillas atadas con trapos sucios
Éramos tú y yo cuando éramos jóvenes
Cepillando juntos las hojas caídas en el otoño
tú y yo cuando éramos jóvenes
Planificar para el futuro sin saber lo que nos depara en absoluto
El camino a ninguna parte nunca sube
Cambiamos de dirección una docena de veces
Éramos tú y yo cuando éramos jóvenes
