Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
Outside the gate there lived a manFuera de la puerta vivía un hombre
A man with a forgotten nameUn hombre con un nombre olvidado
Who tried to feel most everythingQue intentaba sentir casi todo
But where he ended up was wrapped in shamePero donde terminó envuelto en vergüenza
It's how you shape the day to dayEs cómo moldeas el día a día
Not what you hide behindNo lo que escondes detrás
We are born with this sin he saidNacemos con este pecado, dijo
And with this sin we must surely dieY con este pecado seguramente moriremos
And we don't see him anymoreY ya no lo vemos más
He's lost his way now that's for sureHa perdido su camino, eso es seguro
She doesn't recognize himElla no lo reconoce
But she knew him very wellPero lo conocía muy bien
The tattered suit, the leather bootsEl traje desgastado, las botas de cuero
The ringing of the bellsEl sonido de las campanas
She said, "It's what you give"Ella dijo, 'Es lo que das'
And what you take and what you leave behindY lo que tomas y lo que dejas atrás
That marks the measure of your lifeEso marca la medida de tu vida
She said she knew him very wellElla dijo que lo conocía muy bien
There was a man who lived outside the gateHabía un hombre que vivía fuera de la puerta
And guilty was his nameY culpable era su nombre
He tried to love most everythingIntentaba amar casi todo
But where he ended up was wrapped in shamePero donde terminó envuelto en vergüenza
It's who he loved and what he tookEs a quién amaba y lo que tomaba
And who he left behindY a quién dejaba atrás
That marked the measure of his lifeEso marcaba la medida de su vida
You know that Guilty was his nameSabes que Culpable era su nombre
