You Were Always There

Siempre estuviste ahí

You Were Always There

No recuerdo mi primera mem 'ry de ti, siempre estuviste ahí
Can't remember my first mem'ry of you you were always there
Y ahora sé que nunca te conocí bien
And now I know I never knew you well
Pero yo era sólo un niño y tú siempre estabas ahí para recogerme cada vez que me caía
But I was just a kid and you were always there to pick me up everytime I fell
Y siempre has calentado una manta para envolver alrededor de mis pies
And you always warmed a blanket to wrap around my feet
Cuando me metiste en la cama para decir mis oraciones
When you tucked me into bed to say my prayers
Y apuesto a que nunca te agradecí entre todas las otras cosas
And I'll bet I never thanked you among all the other things
Que di por sentado porque siempre estabas ahí
That I took for granted cause you were always there
Sí, siempre estuviste ahí, así que nunca nos tomamos el tiempo
Yes you were always there so we never took the time
Para que me digas tus sueños y yo te diga los míos
For you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mine
Y nunca nos tomamos el tiempo para hablar de amor y felicidad
And we never took the time to talk of love and happiness
Y la vida y la muerte, el dolor y el dolor y la soledad
And life and death and heartache and pain and loneliness

¿Por qué ni siquiera sé si eras feliz o si podrías haber sido
Why I don't even know if you were happy or if you could have been
O si pudieras tener un deseo, ¿qué sería?
Or if you could have one wish what would it be
¿O qué harías de otra manera si pudieras vivir de nuevo?
Or what would you do differently if you could live again
¿Y te alegraste de darme vida?
And were you glad that you gave life to me
Y daría cualquier cosa por decirte. Estoy contento de que nacieras
And I'd give anything to tell you am I glad that you were born
Pero nunca escucharás las palabras que he aprendido a decir
But you'll never hear the words I've learned to say
Porque antes de saber que moriste de soledad
Cause before I got to know you died of loneliness
Y me dicen que crecí y me mudé
And they tell me I grew up and moved away
Sí, siempre estuviste ahí, así que nunca nos tomamos el tiempo
Yes you were always there so we never took the time
Para que me digas tus sueños y yo te diga los míos
For you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mine
Había tantas cosas que podrían haber sido pero ahora nunca compartiremos
There were so many things that could have been but now we'll never share
Porque los niños no saben mucho y tú siempre estabas ahí
Cause kids don't know much and you were always there
Ningún niño no sabe mucho y tú siempre estuviste allí
No kids don't know much and you were always there
