bandera Traducción al Español
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,

Así, así que crees que puedes distinguir el cielo del infierno

blue skies from pain.

Los cielos azules del dolor

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?

¿Puedes distinguir un campo verde de un frío raíl de acero?

A smile from a veil?

¿Una sonrisa de un velo?

Do you think you can tell?

¿Crees que puedes diferenciarlos?


Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?

¿Consiguieron que intercambiaras tus héroes por fantasmas?

Hot ashes for trees?

¿Cenizas calientes por árboles?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

¿Aire caliente por una fría brisa?

Cold comfort for change?

¿Una fría comodidad por un cambio?

Did you exchange a walk on part in the war

¿E intercambiaste un papel de extra en la guerra

for a lead role in a cage?

por un papel de protagonista dentro de una jaula?


How I wish, how I wish you were here.

Cómo desearía... cómo desearía que estuvieras aquí

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,

Somos solo dos almas perdidas, nadando en una pecera

year after year,

Año tras año

Running over the same old ground.

Corriendo sobre el mismo viejo suelo

What have we found?

¿Qué hemos encontrado?

The same old fears.

Los mismos viejos miedos

Wish you were here.

Desearía que estuvieras aquí
