I never knew his name

Nunca supe su nombre

I never knew his name

Nunca supe su nombreI never knew his nam
Mientras me llamabaAs he called to me
Implorando con sus ojosPleading with his eyes
De repente tan sabioSuddenly so wise
Tratando de no llorarTrying not to cry
Ahora se ha ido y yoNow he's gone and I
Nunca supe su nombreNever knew his name

He visto su tipo antesI've seen his kind before
Elevándose hacia su caídaRising to his fall
Dios, era tan jovenGod, he was so young
Como una canción a mediasLike a song half sung
Interrumpida porInterrupted by
Alguien igual de tímido,Someone just as shy,
Que nunca supo su nombreWho never knew his name

El verdadero costo del honor es repentinamente demasiado claroThe true cost of honor is suddenly too clear
Mide demasiado lejos y profundoIt measures too far and deep

Siempre se ve igualHe always looks the same
Vestido de azul o grisDressed in blue or gray
Toda la vida que se perderáAll the life he'll miss
Chicas que nunca besaráGirls he'll never kiss
Cosas que nunca intentaráThings he'll never try
Sin saber que yoUnaware that I
Nunca supe su nombreNever knew his name

Nunca supe su nombreI never knew his name
Supongo que es mejor asíGuess it's just as well
Así que hago mi parteSo I do my part
Escondiéndome de mi corazónHiding from my heart
Susurrando adiósWhispering goodbye
Agradeciendo a Dios que yoThanking God that I
Nunca supe su nombreNever knew his name
