I Can’t Get There from Here
Alan Parsons
Seize the day
That was what you always told me
Find a way
You would say as you would hold me
Get away from here
It’s all so clear
You can’t stay
Long ago
We were old enough to love
But not to know
There were dreams we kept inside
But didn’t show
and now we don’t know
how to let go
I can’t get there from here
And you can’t get here from there
And we can’t go anywhere
As long as we’re still standing on this road that leads
Nowhere
Touch the sky
If you don’t, when you grow old
You’ll wonder why
You did just what you were told
No one will cry for you
If all you do
Is long to fly
I can see
Our final curtain falling
Let it be
Listen to the voices calling out
To all who hear
Don’t let your fear
Push life aside
I can’t get there from here
And you can’t get here from there
And we…

Eso fue lo que siempre me dijiste.
That was what you always told me
Encontrar una manera
Find a way
Dirías como me abrazarías
You would say as you would hold me
Vete de aquí
Get away from here
Todo es tan claro
It’s all so clear
No te puedes quedar
You can’t stay
Hace mucho tiempo
Long ago
Teníamos la edad suficiente para amar
We were old enough to love
Pero no saber
But not to know
Hubo sueños que guardamos dentro.
There were dreams we kept inside
Pero no se mostró
But didn’t show
y ahora no sabemos
and now we don’t know
cómo dejar ir
how to let go
No puedo llegar desde aqui
I can’t get there from here
Y no puedes llegar aquí desde allí.
And you can’t get here from there
Y no podemos ir a ninguna parte
And we can’t go anywhere
Mientras sigamos en este camino que conduce.
As long as we’re still standing on this road that leads
En ninguna parte
Nowhere
Tocar el cielo

Si no, cuando envejeces
If you don’t, when you grow old
Te preguntarás por qué
You’ll wonder why
Hiciste justo lo que te dijeron

Nadie llorará por ti
No one will cry for you
Si todo lo que haces
If all you do
Es largo para volar

Nuestro telón final cayendo.
Our final curtain falling
Déjalo ser

A todos los que oyen
