Before

I dreamed of louisianaSoñaba con Luisiana

And a night in lafayetteY una noche en Lafayette

We had breakfast with susannaDesayunamos con Susana

We were young and wild and leftÉramos jóvenes, salvajes y nos fuimos

(chorus)(estribillo)

What's different here than in that dreamLo que es diferente aquí que en ese sueño

And in realityY en la realidad

Is we weren't afraid to fail in loveEs que no teníamos miedo de fallar en el amor

And we all believed in the dreamY todos creíamos en el sueño

Before…beforeAntes... antes

I dreamed of manhattanSoñaba con Manhattan

In a time before this warEn un tiempo antes de esta guerra

It was snowing down on bleecker streetEstaba nevando en Bleecker Street

It was before you were a starEra antes de que fueras una estrella

(chorus)(estribillo)

Now everything is twilightAhora todo es crepúsculo

It's a time too dark to seeEs un tiempo demasiado oscuro para ver

It's fear of being what we wereEs el miedo de ser lo que éramos

And pondering the dreamY reflexionar sobre el sueño

Then i dreamed of texasEntonces soñé con Texas

And the gulf coast shoresY las costas del golfo

I dreamed of who we used to beSoñaba con lo que solíamos ser

And the hope we had beforeY la esperanza que teníamos antes

(chorus)(estribillo)
