Remember when you were young



Remember when you were young,

you shone like the sun.

shine on you crazy diamond.

now there's a look in your eyes,

like black holes in the sky.

shine on you crazy diamond.

you were caught on the crossfire

of childhood and stardom,

blown on the steel breeze.

come on you target

for faraway laughter,

come on you stranger,

you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon,

you cried for the moon.

shine on you crazy diamond.

threatened by shadows at night,

and exposed in the light.

shine on you crazy diamond.

well you wore out your welcome

with random precision,

rode on the steel breeze.

come on you raver,

you seer of visions,

come on you painter,

you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Corriendo contra el viento

Against the wind 
It seems like yesterday
but it was long ago
janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
there in the darkness with the radio playing low
and the secrets that we shared
the mountains that we moved
caught like a wildfire out of control
'til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
and i remember what she said to me
how she swore that it never would end
i remember how she held me oh so tight
wish i didn't know now what i didn't know then
Against the wind
we were runnin' against the wind
we were young and strong, we were runnin'
against the wind
The years rolled slowly past
and i found myself alone
surrounded by strangers i thought were my friends
i found myself further and further from my home
and i guess i lost my way
there were oh so many roads
i was living to run and running to live
never worryied about paying or even how much i owed
moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
breaking all of the rules that would bend
i began to find myself searching
searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
a little something against the wind
i found myself seeking shelter sgainst the wind
Well those drifter's days are past me now
i've got so much more to think about
deadlines and commitments
what to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind
i'm still runnin' against the wind
i'm older now but still runnin' against the wind
well i'm older now and still runnin'
against the wind
against the wind
against the wind
Still runnin'
i'm still runnin' against the wind
i'm still runnin'
i'm still runnin' against the wind
still runnin'
runnin' against the wind
runnin' against the wind
see the young man run
watch the young man run
watch the young man runnin'
he'll be runnin' against the wind
let the cowboys ride
let the cowboys ride
they'll be ridin' against the wind
against the wind ...

(traducida)
Parece que fue ayer,
Pero fue hace mucho,
Janey era adorable, era la reina de mis noches,
Ahí, en la oscuridad con la radio sonando bajo,
Y los secretos que compartimos,
Las montañas que movimos,
Atrapados como un incendio forestal fuera de control,
Hasta que no hubo nada que quemar y nada que demostrar.

Y recuerdo lo que ella me dijo,
Como juró que nunca terminaría,
Recuerdo cómo me sostuvo tan fuerte,
Desearía no saber ahora lo que no sabía en ese entonces.

Contra el viento,
Estábamos corriendo contra el viento,
Éramos jóvenes y fuertes,
Estábamos corriendo contra el viento.

Los años arrollados lentamente pasaron,
Y me encuentro a mí mismo solo,
Rodeado de extraños que creí eran mis amigos,
Me encuentro más y más lejos de mi hogar.

Y supongo que perdí mi camino,
Había tantos caminos,
Estaba viviendo para correr y corriendo para vivir,
Nunca preocupándome de pagar o incluso de qué tan
endeudado estaba.

Moviéndome ocho millas por minuto durante meses al mismo tiempo,
Rompiendo todas las reglas que se doblaran,
Empecé a encontrarme a mí mismo buscando,
Buscando refugio una y otra vez.

Contra el viento,
Un poco contra el viento,
Me encuentro a mí mismo buscando refugio contra el viento.

Bueno, esos días vagabundos están más allá de mí ahora,
Tengo mucho más en qué pensar,
Plazos y compromisos,
Qué dejar adentro y qué dejar afuera,
Contra el viento,
Aún estoy corriendo contra el viento,
Soy viejo ahora, pero aún corro contra el viento.
