Traducción de la letra de la canción We Wrote Letters Everyday - The Fiery Furnaces

We Wrote Letters Everyday (original)

Well, no one was too upset.
You know we were married in the war,
and I went with him to Pennsylvania and California.
But he went out the Pacific,
and I came back to Chicago to work on the railroad.
And we wrote letters every day,
which were later thrown away.
And God knows what we wrote or what they said,
but this is probably how they read.
I left the letters behind,
in the basement of the apartment building when we moved,
for the mice to nibble on.
I wonder how long they lasted.
And we wrote letters every day,
which were later thrown away.
And God knows what we wrote or what they said,
but this is probably how they read.
Now, at my wedding, my husband didn’t have his close family there,
as I indicated.
He came from a family of priests,
at least, there were a lot of priests in his family.
And so, 8 priests presided over our wedding.
8 priests!
It looked impressive.
But it didn’t sound very good.
A gaggle of priests.
Or they were like crows around an overly ornate park bench up there.
They all had fine voices,
but — and I mean this respectfully —
they didn’t match pitch.
Thinking that each one of them was the one in the right.
So they made some strange note choices.
Listen…

We Wrote Letters Everyday (traducción)

Bueno, nadie estaba demasiado molesto.
Sabes que nos casamos en la guerra,
y fui con él a Pensilvania y California.
Pero salió al Pacífico,
y volví a Chicago para trabajar en el ferrocarril.
Y escribimos cartas todos los días,
que luego fueron desechados.
Y Dios sabe lo que escribimos o lo que dijeron,
pero así es probablemente como leen.
Dejé las cartas atrás,
en el sótano del edificio de apartamentos cuando nos mudamos,
para que los ratones la mordisqueen.
Me pregunto cuánto duraron.
Y escribimos cartas todos los días,
que luego fueron desechados.
Y Dios sabe lo que escribimos o lo que dijeron,
pero así es probablemente como leen.
Ahora, en mi boda, mi esposo no tenía a su familia cercana allí,
como te indico.
Provenía de una familia de sacerdotes,
al menos, había muchos sacerdotes en su familia.
Y así, 8 sacerdotes presidieron nuestra boda.
8 sacerdotes!
Se veía impresionante.
Pero no sonaba muy bien.
Una pandilla de sacerdotes.
O eran como cuervos alrededor de un banco de parque demasiado ornamentado allí arriba.
Todos tenían buenas voces,
pero, y lo digo con respeto,
no coincidían con el tono.
Pensando que cada uno de ellos era el de la derecha.
Entonces hicieron algunas elecciones de notas extrañas.
Escucha…
