Dear John

Querido Juan

Dear John

Fuiste bautizado en el lavabo de Aenon,You were baptizing in aenon's sink,
Cuando el maestro recibió créditoWhen the master received credit
Estabas listo para encoger en segundo planoYou were ready to shrink in the background
Y no con celos,And not jealously,
No estabas pensandoYou weren't thinking
'Ese es mi trabajo' o 'mi identidad'"That's my job" or "my identity"

Incluso tu nombre.Even your name.
No olvidaste que viniste a Manejar la campaña.You didn't forget that you came to Manage the campaign.

Y todo esto sucedió antes de la estancia en prisión,And all this happened before prison-stay,
Chicas bailarinas y espadas afiladas se dirigían hacia ti.Dancing girls and sharpened swords were heading your way.
Te declaraste suyo aceitando la silla,You declared his by oiling the saddle,
Y ungir a nuestro gran rey antes de ir a la batalla,And anointing our great king before he went to battle,

Ese es tu nombre...That's your name...
