Cosas que sabes

The Wailin' Jennys

Things That You Know

It's been a long time since you saw your home
Even those you call the closest
Have slipped away somehow
Feels like a lifetime you've been on the road
With so many miles behind you
You'd think you'd have left this world by now

You've seen more than they could ever know
No matter what they say
You've earned the right to be so bold
But this life it takes its toll on you
Every face around you looks so tired and so old

And you have not seen everything
You have not seen everything

But there are things that you know
Things that you know
From where you've had to go
Where you've had to go
Maybe soon you'll find a place
To call your own
To call your home

You've walked a good mile in your brother's shoes
'Til your legs could walk no further
And your tired soles would burn
You know there's peace somewhere around the bend
It's been a long time coming
And you're ready for your turn

And you have not seen everything
You have not seen everything

But there are things that you know
Things that you know
From where you've had to go
Where you've had to go
Maybe soon you'll find a place
To call your own
To call your home

Cosas que sabes

Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que viste tu hogar
Incluso aquellos a quienes llamas los más cercanos
Se han alejado de alguna manera
Se siente como si hubieras estado en la carretera toda una vida
Con tantas millas detrás de ti
Pensarías que ya habrías dejado este mundo

Has visto más de lo que podrían saber
No importa lo que digan
Te has ganado el derecho de ser tan audaz
Pero esta vida te pasa factura
Cada rostro a tu alrededor luce tan cansado y viejo

Y no has visto todo
No has visto todo

Pero hay cosas que sabes
Cosas que sabes
De dónde has tenido que ir
Dónde has tenido que ir
Quizás pronto encontrarás un lugar
Para llamar tuyo
Para llamar hogar

Has caminado una buena milla en los zapatos de tu hermano
Hasta que tus piernas no pudieron caminar más
Y tus cansadas plantas arderían
Sabes que hay paz en algún lugar a la vuelta de la esquina
Ha tardado mucho en llegar
Y estás listo para tu turno

Y no has visto todo
No has visto todo

Pero hay cosas que sabes
Cosas que sabes
De dónde has tenido que ir
Dónde has tenido que ir
Quizás pronto encontrarás un lugar
Para llamar tuyo
Para llamar hogar
