Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

When I was born you were my breathCuando nací tú eras mi aliento

You warmed my skin against your breastCalentaste mi piel contra tu pecho

You were my food you were my lightTú eras mi comida, eras mi luz

You were my morning and my nightFuiste mi mañana y mi noche

It's always only ever beenSiempre ha sido sólo una vez

It's always only ever been youSiempre has sido tú

And then I met you on the wallY luego te conocí en la pared

You were seventeen inches tallTenías 17 pulgadas de alto

A painted smile across your faceUna sonrisa pintada en tu cara

I prayed for heaven, prayed for graceOré por el cielo, oré por la gracia

I gave my life when I was tenDi mi vida cuando tenía diez años

I prayed in tongues was born againRecé en lenguas para nacer de nuevo

It’s always only ever been youSiempre has sido tú

You were thereTú estabas allí

As the world unfolded harsher fareA medida que el mundo se desarrolló tarifa más dura

As the spiral pared the seamsComo la espiral pared las costuras

And the brand new colors gleamedY los nuevos colores brillaban

I could only think of youSólo podía pensar en ti

You were thereTú estabas allí

Every broken heart and tangled careCada corazón roto y cuidado enredado

Jesus, savior, lord, and kingJesús, salvador, señor y rey

Oh my friend and everythingOh mi amigo y todo

It was always only youSiempre fuiste sólo tú

I saw the writing on the wallVi la escritura en la pared

You were a man and that was allEras un hombre y eso fue todo

There was no God in heaven aboveNo había Dios en el cielo arriba

There was no perfect saving loveNo había amor salvador perfecto

It was always only ever meSiempre he sido sólo yo

It was always only meSiempre fui solo yo

And then my world was torn apartY entonces mi mundo fue destrozado

I felt a ground, I felt a heartSentí un suelo, sentí un corazón

And all the universe was oneY todo el universo fue uno

Just like a father, spirit, sonComo un padre, espíritu, hijo

My heart is open once againMi corazón está abierto una vez más

A distant love, a forlorn friendUn amor lejano, un amigo abandonado

Maybe it's always ever been youTal vez siempre has sido tú

If you are thereSi estás ahí

As the world unfolds its harsher fareA medida que el mundo se desarrolla su carrera más dura

As the spiral pairs the seamsA medida que la espiral empareja las costuras

As the holy haunts my dreamsComo el santo persigue mis sueños

I will stay right here with youMe quedaré aquí contigo

You were thereTú estabas allí

Every broken heart and tangled careCada corazón roto y cuidado enredado

Jesus, teacher, brahman lightJesús, maestro, luz brahmán

Son of God and source of lifeHijo de Dios y fuente de vida

And it’s always only youY siempre eres sólo tú
