You And I (when We Were Young)
I sometimes sit and think about
Our evenings in the firelight
You and I
When we were young
Laughing at the crazy-patterned shadows
That were dancing on the wall
Without a care
With time to spend
Hardly speaking
For hours on end
That was you and I
When we were young.
Walking hand in hand beside the river
At the weekends
You and I
When we were young
Children with their fishing nets were laughing
As they took their catches home
Caterpillars in paper bags
Knees tied up with dirty rags
That was you and I
When we were young.
Brushing through the fallen leaves
Together in the autumn
You and I
When we were young
Planning for the future
Without knowing what it held for us at all
The road to nowhere never climbs
We changed direction a dozen times
That was you and I
When we were young.
Tú y yo (cuando éramos jóvenes)
A veces me siento y pienso en
Nuestras noches en la luz de la chimenea
Tú y yo
Cuando éramos jóvenes
Riéndose de las sombras locas
Que bailaban en la pared
Sin cuidado
Con tiempo para gastar
Difícilmente hablando
Durante horas y horas
Eran tú y yo
Cuando éramos jóvenes
Caminando de la mano junto al río
Los fines de semana
Tú y yo
Cuando éramos jóvenes
Los niños con sus redes de pesca se reían
Mientras llevaban sus capturas a casa
Orugas en bolsas de papel
Rodillas atadas con trapos sucios
Eran tú y yo
Cuando éramos jóvenes
Cepillarse a través de las hojas caídas
Juntos en el otoño
Tú y yo
Cuando éramos jóvenes
Planificación para el futuro
Sin saber lo que nos sostenía en absoluto
El camino a la nada nunca sube
Cambiamos de dirección una docena de veces
Eran tú y yo
Cuando éramos jóvenes
