Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
We were like the last IndiansÉramos como los últimos indios
Defending our own land with desperate handsDefendiendo nuestra propia tierra con manos desesperadas
We were told that youthful love grows oldNos dijeron que el amor juvenil envejece
And nothing's here to stay, to stow our love awayY que nada está aquí para quedarse, para guardar nuestro amor
And you were high upon my shouldersY estabas alta sobre mis hombros
And you were trying to reach the starsY tratabas de alcanzar las estrellas
And you were certain that if you wished it hard enoughY estabas segura de que si lo deseabas lo suficiente
Then it would be just us againEntonces seríamos solo nosotros de nuevo
The bugle sounds, the uniforms come inSuena el clarín, llegan los uniformes
With flags to shield their sins, my doorbell ringsCon banderas para proteger sus pecados, suena el timbre de mi puerta
The new-found girl, she says to move on fastLa nueva chica encontrada, dice que siga adelante rápido
A silent treaty's made, I've signed my love awaySe hace un tratado silencioso, he firmado mi amor lejos
And you were high upon my shouldersY estabas alta sobre mis hombros
And you were trying to reach the starsY tratabas de alcanzar las estrellas
And you were certain that if you wished it hard enoughY estabas segura de que si lo deseabas lo suficiente
Then it would be just us againEntonces seríamos solo nosotros de nuevo
So here I stand, oh I have traded forAsí que aquí estoy, oh he intercambiado por
More stable living plans to meet demandsPlanes de vida más estables para cumplir demandas
Our sacred grounds, oh we knew secretsNuestros terrenos sagrados, oh conocíamos secretos
That we thought we'd never tell, now others know as wellQue pensábamos que nunca contaríamos, ahora otros también lo saben
And you were high upon my shouldersY estabas alta sobre mis hombros
And you were trying to reach the starsY tratabas de alcanzar las estrellas
And you were certain that if you wished it hard enoughY estabas segura de que si lo deseabas lo suficiente
Then it would be just us againEntonces seríamos solo nosotros de nuevo
