When You Return

When you return they'll seeCuando regreses verán

My words are trueQue mis palabras son verdaderas

I went to the hazelwood yesterdayFui al bosque de avellanos ayer

Seeking hazelnuts for foodBuscando avellanas para comer

But on every branch and twigPero en cada rama y ramita

Was your pursuing faceEstaba tu rostro persiguiéndome

I went to bed early last nightMe fui a la cama temprano anoche

To escape you in sleepPara escapar de ti en el sueño

But you kept me awake tillPero me mantuviste despierto hasta

I'd make you a songQue te hiciera una canción

When you return they'll seeCuando regreses verán

My words are trueQue mis palabras son verdaderas

I'd wish we were torn asunderDesearía que fuéramos separados

Were we not apartSi no estuviéramos separados

Let your presence replace my image of youQue tu presencia reemplace mi imagen de ti

And how I'd rejoiceY cómo me regocijaría

You've brought me to foolish babblingMe has llevado a balbucear tonterías

Tiring friends with praise of youCansando a mis amigos con alabanzas hacia ti

When you return they'll see thatCuando regreses verán que

My words are trueMis palabras son verdaderas

When you return they'll seeCuando regreses verán

My words are trueQue mis palabras son verdaderas

They'll see mountains dance with ripplesVerán montañas bailar con ondulaciones

Mole and eagle step the reelTopo y águila danzar el reel

Red rasp held by kind sea-tangleFrambuesa roja sostenida por amable alga marina

Sport before their eyesJugarán ante sus ojos

My words are trueMis palabras son verdaderas

When you return, etc. to fade outCuando regreses, etc. hasta desvanecerse
