Where the sun goes downDonde el sol se oculta
there's a place on earthhay un lugar en la tierra
where the sky's all reddonde el cielo es todo rojo
and mother gives rebirthy la madre da a luz
As a runaway childComo un niño fugitivo
he was running all aroundcorría por todas partes
like a stranger in the nightcomo un extraño en la noche
he walked and then he foundcaminaba y luego encontró
some sand in his pocketalgo de arena en su bolsillo
from that old playgrounddel viejo patio de recreo
Do you remember that man¿Recuerdas a ese hombre
with a sunburst on his jacket?con un sol estampado en su chaqueta?
Well, he's still aroundBueno, todavía está por ahí
his Mama was always saying to him:su mamá siempre le decía:
don't be afraid my sonno tengas miedo hijo mío
the world out there is cold and it is darkel mundo allá afuera es frío y oscuro
but you'll be alright my sonpero estarás bien hijo mío
You'll be all... rightestarás bien...
Lately he's been thinking of these crazy summer daysÚltimamente ha estado pensando en esos locos días de verano
when he was carelesscuando era descuidado
in the way he used to been la forma en que solía ser
Isn't it a shame - how life goes on?¿No es una lástima - cómo sigue la vida?
And we have to change in so many waysY tenemos que cambiar de muchas maneras
but that's just... I guess it's just the way...pero así es... supongo que es solo la forma...
it isque es
Once, he had somethingUna vez, tuvo algo
and he might never get it backy tal vez nunca lo recupere
and as he gets oldery a medida que envejece
he will stop... looking backdejará de... mirar atrás
But Mama's still saying to him:Pero mamá sigue diciéndole:
don't be afraid my sonno tengas miedo hijo mío
the world out there is cold and the world is darkel mundo allá afuera es frío y oscuro
but you'll be alright my sonpero estarás bien hijo mío
you'll be alrightestarás bien
as long as you stay of the bright side of the linesiempre y cuando te mantengas en el lado brillante de la línea
and keep on following the lighty sigas siguiendo la luz
We have all seen the start!¡Todos hemos visto el comienzo!
And we will all see the endY todos veremos el final
but what happens in betweenpero lo que sucede en medio
is all that matters, my friendes todo lo que importa, amigo mío
