First Girl I Loved
First girl I loved,
Time has come I will sing you
this sad goodbye song,
When I was seventeen, I used to know you.
Well, I haven't seen you, now, since many is the short year,
And the last time I seen you, you said you'd joined the
Church of Jesus.
But me, I remember your long red hair falling in our faces
As I kissed you.
Well, I want you to know, we just had to grow;
I want you to know, I just had to go.
And you're probably married now, house and car and all,
And you turned into a grownup, female, stranger.
And if I was lying near you now,
I probably wouldn't be here at all.
Well, we parted so hard;
Me, rushing round Britain with a guitar,
Making love to people
That I didn't even like to see.
Well, I would think of you.
Yes, I mean in the six sad morning.
And in the lonely midnight,
Try to hold your face before me.
Well, I want you to know, I just had to go;
I want you to know, we just had to grow.
And you're probably married now, kids and all,
And you turned into a grownup, female, stranger.
And if I was lying near you now,
I'd just have to fall.
Well, I never slept with you
Though we must have made love a thousand times.
For we were just young, didn't have no place to go,
But in the wide hills and beside many a long water
You have gathered flowers, and they do not smell for me.
Well, I want you to know, I just had to go.
I want you to know, we just had to grow.
So it's goodbye first love, and I hope you're fine.
Well, I have a sweet woman
Maybe some day to have babies by me,
she's pretty,
Is a true friend of mine.
Primera Chica Que Amé
Primera chica que amé,
Ha llegado el momento de cantarte
esta triste canción de despedida,
Cuando tenía diecisiete, solía conocerte.
Bueno, no te he visto, ahora, desde hace muchos años cortos,
Y la última vez que te vi, dijiste que te habías unido a la
Iglesia de Jesús.
Pero yo recuerdo tu largo cabello rojo cayendo en nuestras caras
Mientras te besaba.
Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuvimos que crecer;
Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuve que irme.
Y probablemente ahora estés casada, con casa y auto,
Y te hayas convertido en una adulta, extraña mujer.
Y si estuviera acostado cerca de ti ahora,
Probablemente no estaría aquí en absoluto.
Bueno, nos separamos tan fuerte;
Yo, corriendo por toda Gran Bretaña con una guitarra,
Haciendo el amor con personas
Que ni siquiera me gustaba ver.
Pensaría en ti.
Sí, quiero decir en las seis tristes de la mañana.
Y en la solitaria medianoche,
Intentar recordar tu rostro ante mí.
Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuve que irme;
Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuvimos que crecer.
Y probablemente ahora estés casada, con hijos y todo,
Y te hayas convertido en una adulta, extraña mujer.
Y si estuviera acostado cerca de ti ahora,
Simplemente tendría que caer.
Nunca dormí contigo
Aunque debimos haber hecho el amor mil veces.
Porque éramos jóvenes, no teníamos a dónde ir,
Pero en las colinas anchas y junto a muchos ríos largos
Tú has recogido flores, y no huelen para mí.
Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuve que irme.
Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuvimos que crecer.
Así que es adiós primer amor, y espero que estés bien.
Bueno, tengo una dulce mujer
Quizás algún día tenga bebés conmigo,
es bonita,
Es una verdadera amiga mía.
