Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
He works, he sleepsÉl trabaja, él duerme
He knows his historyÉl conoce su historia
He reads, he dreamsÉl lee, él sueña
So much abilityTanta habilidad
He drives NorthwestConduce hacia el noroeste
Up the interstatePor la autopista
The snow falls slowLa nieve cae lentamente
Hypnotic and opaqueHipnótica y opaca
Bright with life,Brillante de vida,
He leaves behindDeja atrás
Endless daysDías interminables
And longer nightsY noches más largas
His eyes are wide,Sus ojos están abiertos,
His ears are numbSus oídos están adormecidos
Filled with pulsatingLlenos de un zumbido
Engine humPulsante del motor
Don't rush by unseeingNo pases desapercibido
Through the placesA través de los lugares
And the pleasures of the rideY los placeres del viaje
(Take it all in)(Absorbe todo)
Don't skim through the pagesNo hojees las páginas
Of the ponderous volumeDel volumen ponderoso
That describes your lifeQue describe tu vida
(Don't miss a word)(No te pierdas ni una palabra)
Some seek distractionAlgunos buscan distracción
Just to pass the time,Solo para pasar el tiempo,
Not entertainNo para entretenerse
We sometimes sleepwalkA veces caminamos dormidos
Sacrificing joy to numb the painSacrificando la alegría para adormecer el dolor
I saw the sceneVi la escena
I didn't want to seeNo quería ver
Steel, glass, debrisAcero, vidrio, escombros
Stranger, rest in peaceExtraño, descansa en paz
How could he know¿Cómo podría saber
When he awokeCuando despertó
That this was the dayQue este era el día
His book would close?En que su libro se cerraría?
Have you thrived¿Has prosperado
Or just survivedO solo sobrevivido
If this were the daySi este fuera el día
You said goodbye?En que dijiste adiós?
Don't rush by unseeingNo pases desapercibido
Through the placesA través de los lugares
And the pleasures of the rideY los placeres del viaje
(Take it all in)(Absorbe todo)
Don't skim through the pagesNo hojees las páginas
Of the ponderous volumeDel volumen ponderoso
That describes your lifeQue describe tu vida
(Don't miss a word)(No te pierdas ni una palabra)
Some seek distractionAlgunos buscan distracción
Just to pass the time,Solo para pasar el tiempo,
Not entertainNo para entretenerse
We sometimes sleepwalkA veces caminamos dormidos
Sacrificing joy to numb the painSacrificando la alegría para adormecer el dolor
We sometimes sleepwalkA veces caminamos dormidos
