Hace Dos Perdices

Two Partridges Ago

Hace Dos Perdices

Two partridges ago, I forgot that being happyHace dos perdices que olvidé que el ser feliz
Was about twenty-some broken promisesEra de veinte y pocas promesas rotas
And silent scarsY cicatrices sordas
Sick of healing wounds and trippingHartas de curar heridas y tropezar
On the same avenuesEn las mismas avenidas

Two summers ago, a love got in the wayHace dos veranos un amor atravesado
Pointed my compass to a strange placeDirigió mi norte a un lugar extraño
Fired the gun to the other sideDisparó el revolver hacia el otro lado
Whispered: Coyote, tonight we’ll be cowboysSusurró: Coyote, esta noche seremos cowboys

Some winter ago, memories burn meHace algún invierno que me queman los recuerdos
And little by little, they’re sucking my brainsY me absorben poco a poco los sesos
That recognize, trappedQue reconocen, presos
That maybe they didn’t take it too seriouslyQue quizá se lo tomaron poco en serio
And you gave it your allY tú dabas tu cien por ciento

Two Aprils ago, a shot in my Achilles' heel made me immortalHace dos Abriles un flechazo en el talón de Aquiles me hizo inmortal
To all the scars that today suffer in silenceA todas las cicatrices que hoy sufren sordas
And being happy was about twenty-someY es que el ser feliz era de veinte y pocas
Stories of punks and cowboysHistorias de kinkis y cowboys

Don’t put the brakes onNo le pongas freno
This serene sunA este sol sereno
That wants to sing to the light of thunderQue quiere cantarle a la luz del trueno
And there’s no remedy for this cruel cowboyY no existe el remedio para este cruel cowboy

Because two partridges ago, I forgot that being happyPoque hace dos perdices que olvidé que el ser feliz
Was about twenty-some broken promisesEra de veinte y pocas promesas rotas
And silent scarsY cicatrices sordas
Sick of healing wounds and trippingHartas de curar heridas y tropezar
On the same avenuesEn las mismas avenidas

Two Aprils ago, a shot in my Achilles' heel made me immortalHace dos Abriles un flechazo en el talón de Aquiles me hizo inmortal
To all the scars that today suffer in silenceA todas las cicatrices que hoy sufren sordas
And being happy was about twenty-someY es que el ser feliz era de veinte y pocas
Stories of punks and cowboysHistorias de kinkis y cowboys

Don’t put the brakes onNo le pongas freno
This serene sunA este sol sereno
That wants to sing to the light of thunderQue quiere cantarle a la luz del trueno
And there’s no remedy for this loyal cowboyY no existe el remedio para este fiel cowboy

Because two partridges ago, we were both happyPorque hace dos perdices que los dos fueron felices
Amidst so much fear of not following the rulesEntre tanto miedo a no seguir las directrices
There’s no remedyNo hay remedio
These are stories from when we were kidsSon historias de cuando éramos pequeños
When you were a punk and I was a cowboy.Cuando tu eras kinki y yo Cowboy
