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
