Tim Buckley: Once I was

Once I was a soldier Un dia era un soldat,
And I fought on foreign sand for you i lluitava en terra forana per tu.
Once I was a hunter Un dia era un caçador,
And I brought home fresh meat for you i portava carn fresca a casa per tu.
Once I was a lover Un dia era un amant,
And I search behind your eyes for you i cercava darrera els teus ulls per tu.
And soon there’ll be another I ben aviat serà un altre
To tell you I was just a lie qui et dirà que tot plegat era mentida.
 
And sometimes I wonder I de vegades em pregunto,
Just for awhile tan sols per un instant,
Will you ever remember me? te’n recordaràs sempre de mi?
 
And though you have forgotten I encara que hagis oblidat
All of our rubbish dreams tots els nostres somnis barats,
I find myself, searching em trobo a mi mateix, cercant
Through the ashes of our ruins, dins les cendres de les nostres ruïnes
For the days when we smiled aquells dies en què rèiem,
And the hours that ran wild i les hores passaven salvatges,
With the magic of our eyes amb la màgia dels nostres ulls,
And the silence of our words i el silenci de les nostres paraules.
