First Girl I Loved

Primera Chica Que Amé

First Girl I Loved

Primera chica que amé,First girl I loved,
Ha llegado el momento de cantarteTime has come I will sing you
esta triste canción de despedida,this sad goodbye song,
Cuando tenía diecisiete, solía conocerte.When I was seventeen, I used to know you.

Bueno, no te he visto, ahora, desde hace muchos años cortos,Well, I haven't seen you, now, since many is the short year,
Y la última vez que te vi, dijiste que te habías unido a laAnd the last time I seen you, you said you'd joined the
Iglesia de Jesús.Church of Jesus.
Pero yo recuerdo tu largo cabello rojo cayendo en nuestras carasBut me, I remember your long red hair falling in our faces
Mientras te besaba.As I kissed you.

Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuvimos que crecer;Well, I want you to know, we just had to grow;
Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuve que irme.I want you to know, I just had to go.

Y probablemente ahora estés casada, con casa y auto,And you're probably married now, house and car and all,
Y te hayas convertido en una adulta, extraña mujer.And you turned into a grownup, female, stranger.
Y si estuviera acostado cerca de ti ahora,And if I was lying near you now,
Probablemente no estaría aquí en absoluto.I probably wouldn't be here at all.

Bueno, nos separamos tan fuerte;Well, we parted so hard;
Yo, corriendo por toda Gran Bretaña con una guitarra,Me, rushing round Britain with a guitar,
Haciendo el amor con personasMaking love to people
Que ni siquiera me gustaba ver.That I didn't even like to see.

Pensaría en ti.Well, I would think of you.
Sí, quiero decir en las seis tristes de la mañana.Yes, I mean in the six sad morning.
Y en la solitaria medianoche,And in the lonely midnight,
Intentar recordar tu rostro ante mí.Try to hold your face before me.

Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuve que irme;Well, I want you to know, I just had to go;
Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuvimos que crecer.I want you to know, we just had to grow.

Y probablemente ahora estés casada, con hijos y todo,And you're probably married now, kids and all,
Y te hayas convertido en una adulta, extraña mujer.And you turned into a grownup, female, stranger.
Y si estuviera acostado cerca de ti ahora,And if I was lying near you now,
Simplemente tendría que caer.I'd just have to fall.

Nunca dormí contigoWell, I never slept with you
Aunque debimos haber hecho el amor mil veces.Though we must have made love a thousand times.
Porque éramos jóvenes, no teníamos a dónde ir,For we were just young, didn't have no place to go,
Pero en las colinas anchas y junto a muchos ríos largosBut in the wide hills and beside many a long water
Tú has recogido flores, y no huelen para mí.You have gathered flowers, and they do not smell for me.

Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuve que irme.Well, I want you to know, I just had to go.
Quiero que sepas, simplemente tuvimos que crecer.I want you to know, we just had to grow.
Así que es adiós primer amor, y espero que estés bien.So it's goodbye first love, and I hope you're fine.

Bueno, tengo una dulce mujerWell, I have a sweet woman
Quizás algún día tenga bebés conmigo,Maybe some day to have babies by me,
es bonita,she's pretty,
Es una verdadera amiga mía.Is a true friend of mine.
