| When I was a boy I knew the lady of the lake
| Cuando era niño conocí a la dama del lago
|
| And I was her favorite child
| Y yo era su hijo favorito
|
| She wore a white gown her yellow hair hanging down
| Llevaba un vestido blanco, su cabello amarillo colgaba
|
| And her voice like a shadow, was gentle and kind
| Y su voz como una sombra, era suave y amable
|
| Everyday to the sea we would go hand in hand
| Todos los días al mar iríamos de la mano
|
| And build great white castles, civilizations in sand
| Y construir grandes castillos blancos, civilizaciones en la arena
|
| And I would paint her pictures with a seaweed brush
| Y pintaría sus cuadros con un pincel de algas
|
| And gather seashell jewels for her, as stars watched over us
| Y juntar joyas de conchas marinas para ella, mientras las estrellas nos vigilaban
|

|
| Sometimes we’d set sail straight for the sun
| A veces navegábamos directamente hacia el sol
|
| As down the dome of sky it fled
| Como por la cúpula del cielo huyó
|
| And sometimes we’d try to catch it as it spun
| Y a veces tratábamos de atraparlo mientras giraba
|
| To the deep sea comfort of the seagreen bed
| A la comodidad del mar profundo del lecho verde mar
|
| The lady of the lake is gone, lost with childhoods mind
| La dama del lago se ha ido, perdida con la mente de la infancia
|
| But the intoxication lingers on and I remember the time
| Pero la embriaguez persiste y recuerdo el tiempo
|
| When I would paint her pictures with a seaweed brush
| Cuando pintaba sus cuadros con un pincel de algas
|
| And gather seashell jewels for her, as the stars watched over us
| Y juntar joyas de conchas marinas para ella, mientras las estrellas nos vigilaban

| Cuando era niño conocí a la dama del lago
