Marching On

Grandma told me I look just like youAbuela me dijo que me parezco a ti

Flawless, strong and fragile like a doveImpecable, fuerte y frágil como una paloma

I wondered will I grow to be as tall as you were to meMe preguntaba si crecería tan alta como tú eras para mí

You were perfect, bathed me in your loveEras perfecta, me bañaste en tu amor

I was young, now I know sometimes you cried aloneEra joven, ahora sé que a veces llorabas sola

I've learnt the world isn't black and whiteHe aprendido que el mundo no es blanco y negro

When you made me look awayCuando me hacías apartar la mirada

I know you never meant to hurt meSé que nunca quisiste lastimarme

You kept marching onSeguías avanzando

A faded picture of you at my ageUna foto descolorida tuya a mi edad

A candid smile I hardly recogniseUna sonrisa sincera que apenas reconozco

When you close your eyes at nightCuando cierras los ojos por la noche

Do you dream of your past life¿Sueñas con tu vida pasada?

I never know what's going through your mindNunca sé qué pasa por tu mente

I was young, now I know sometimes you took the plungeEra joven, ahora sé que a veces dabas el salto

Those nights you prayed, you were terrifiedEsas noches que rezabas, estabas aterrada

You'd say go figure it outDecías 'resuélvelo'

Darling, no one knows the answersCariño, nadie conoce las respuestas

You keep marching onSigues avanzando

You keep marching onSigues avanzando

Sometimes I wonder if I was born as your reincarnationA veces me pregunto si nací como tu reencarnación

But I could never be like youPero nunca podría ser como tú

I'm a child without patienceSoy un niño sin paciencia

Did you mean that¿Lo quisiste decir?

Did you mean that¿Lo quisiste decir?

When you told meCuando me dijiste

That I'm your dreamQue soy tu sueño

You keep marching onSigues avanzando
