Ophelia

That token drag on your cigarette,Esa arrastrada de tu cigarrillo,

that well-known face in the fire,ese rostro conocido en el fuego,

it could be someone you can't forget,podría ser alguien que no puedes olvidar,

someone you've learnt to admire.alguien a quien has aprendido a admirar.

And it's strangeY es extraño

how the feeling goes;cómo se va el sentimiento;

all change -todo cambia

down the river Ophelia goes.por el río Ofelia se va.

You're treading water, the price is steep,Estás nadando, el precio es alto,

you say you'll cope with it all;dices que podrás con todo;

you've made some promises you can't keep,has hecho promesas que no puedes cumplir,

you throw yourself against the wall,te lanzas contra la pared,

you throw yourself against the wall.te lanzas contra la pared.

And it's strange...Y es extraño...

You heard a noise in the firegrate,Escuchaste un ruido en la chimenea,

you look to see who goes there -miras para ver quién va allí -

it's just the stranger, he's come too latees solo el extraño, ha llegado demasiado tarde

and even he's unpreparedy ni siquiera está preparado

to find the cupboard so barepara encontrar el armario tan vacío.

And it's strange...Y es extraño...

down the river Ophelia goes.por el río Ofelia se va.
