Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

You were my sanctuaryEras mi santuario

I was your tree of lifeYo era tu árbol de la vida

The nights were so divineLas noches eran tan divinas

They heard you screaming every nightTe escuchaban gritar todas las noches

I was the boy this timeEsta vez era el chico

The birds come from the treesLos pájaros vienen de los árboles

Oh darling, wait two minutesOh cariño, espera dos minutos

I would hate for you to leaveOdiaría que te fueras

Let's make this night uncutHagamos esta noche sin cortes

Let's keep the curtains shutMantengamos las cortinas cerradas

I'll take you to the starsTe llevaré a las estrellas

'Cause now the sky is not enoughPorque ahora el cielo no es suficiente

And I hear the echoesY escucho los ecos

And I hear the echoesY escucho los ecos

You're at that silly ageEstás en esa edad tonta

The drugs will rule your lifeLas drogas gobernarán tu vida

Cold cheeks and blood-shot eyes are cleaning up to say goodnightMejillas frías y ojos inyectados en sangre se están limpiando para decir buenas noches

I knew that you'd outgrowSabía que superarías

And now we just don't flowY ahora simplemente no encajamos

The way we used to doComo solíamos hacerlo

You used to think that I was coolSolías pensar que era genial

I'm on the other sideEstoy en el otro lado

I walked to watch the lightCaminé para ver la luz

Don't tell me what you've gotNo me digas lo que tienes

It's half as good as you andNo es ni la mitad de bueno que tú y

And I hear the echoesY escucho los ecos

And I hear the echoesY escucho los ecos

Look at this montageMira este montaje

Oh, you were happy thenOh, eras feliz entonces

I made it for you to remind you of how you were thenLo hice para ti para recordarte cómo eras en ese entonces

You've got your new lifeTienes tu nueva vida

See through those new eyesMira a través de esos nuevos ojos

You've got your know-it-all friends, ohTienes tus amigos sabelotodo, oh

Look at this montageMira este montaje

Oh, you were happy thenOh, eras feliz entonces

I made it for you to remind you of how you were then, ohLo hice para ti para recordarte cómo eras en ese entonces, oh

And I hear the echoesY escucho los ecos

And I hear the echoesY escucho los ecos

You were my sanctuaryEras mi santuario

I was your tree of lifeYo era tu árbol de la vida

The nights were so divineLas noches eran tan divinas

They heard you screaming every nightTe escuchaban gritar todas las noches
