Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish
verse
I followed you foolishly
Te seguí muy inocentemente
You were in a smoky bar, you were out to breathe
Estabas en un bar lleno de humo, saliste afuera para tomar aire
Sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four
Me senté sola en mi carro, casi eran las 4
Couldn′t wait for you all night, so I broke the door
No pude esperarte toda la noche así que cerré la puerta
I was gonna spend the night, coulda been okay
Iba a pasar la noche, podría haber estado bien
We were gonna talk all night till I went away
Íbamos a platicar toda la noche, hasta que me vaya
Remember how we used to say, "Can't stay away"?
Recuerdo que solías decir que no te podías dormir tarde
A minute later and I′m older now, I can't stay away
Un minuto después somos mayores y no me puedo quedar despierta
I'm driving by your parents′ farm in the Chevrolet
Conduzco por la granja de tus padres en el Chevrolet
I remember that rusty car like it was yesterday
Recuerdo ese carro oxidado como si fuera ayer
Saw my brother driving by the other day
Vi a mi hermano manejar cerca el otro día
Wish that I′d gone out to him, but he drove away
Desearía haber ido a verlo, pero condujo lejos
Saw my sister standing there, accepting blame
Vi a mi hermana parada allí, aceptando culpas
Then I thought about nothing, and it feels the same
Y pensé como nada ya se siente como antes
chorus
Another day come and gone
Otro día vino y se fue
Don't think I can ever sing that song
No creo que nunca pueda cantar esa canción
Little secrets we bring along
Pequeños secretos que cargamos con nosotros
I′m taking my time
Me estoy tomando mi tiempo
Trailing behind the part of you
Arrastrándose detrás de la parte de ti
Another day come and gone
Otro día vino y se fue
Don't think I can ever sing that song
No creo que nunca pueda cantar esa canción
Little secrets we bring along
Pequeños secretos que cargamos con nosotros
Today is the day
Hoy es el día
Today is the day I think of you
Hoy es el día, pienso en ti
outro
Another day come and gone
Otro día vino y se fue
Don′t think I wanna sing that song
No creo que nunca pueda cantar esa canción
It's always trouble that makes us strong
Siempre son los problemas lo que nos hace fuertes
Today is the day
Hoy es el día
Today is the day I think of you
Hoy es el día, pienso en ti
