Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
Our fathers have been entangled in thingsNuestros padres se han enredado en cosas
He's been squandering, he's been squanderingÉl ha estado malgastando, ha estado malgastando
And we don't do a thing, 'cause we're busy and thinkY nosotros no hacemos nada, porque estamos ocupados y pensamos
We're just wandering, we're just a-wandering like foolsSolo estamos vagando, solo estamos vagando como tontos
His son is his prize, he tells a few liesSu hijo es su premio, cuenta algunas mentiras
He's got his father's eyes, it's in his father's eyesTiene los ojos de su padre, está en los ojos de su padre
And he thinks in his mind that he's just getting byY él piensa en su mente que solo está saliendo adelante
But he's a compromise, he's just a compromising foolPero es un compromiso, solo es un tonto comprometido
And the stance that we take isn't much to bearY la postura que tomamos no es fácil de soportar
Yeah, we leave things to change on their timeSí, dejamos que las cosas cambien a su tiempo
And our failure to care for it leaves us blindY nuestra falta de preocupación nos deja ciegos
'til we're tired and we're crazed in the mindHasta que estamos cansados y estamos locos en la mente
Now he lies on his back, and they tell him it's thatAhora yace boca arriba, y le dicen que es eso
It's just a heart attack, it's just a heart attackEs solo un ataque al corazón, es solo un ataque al corazón
Too late to return to the ones that you've earnedDemasiado tarde para regresar a los que has ganado
No they don't give it back, no they don't give it back to foolsNo, no lo devuelven, no lo devuelven a los tontos
And the stance that we take isn't much to bearY la postura que tomamos no es fácil de soportar
Yeah, we leave things to change on their timeSí, dejamos que las cosas cambien a su tiempo
And our failure to care for it leaves us blindY nuestra falta de preocupación nos deja ciegos
'til we're tired and we're crazed in the mindHasta que estamos cansados y estamos locos en la mente
I've been, I've been silentHe estado, he estado en silencio
