Living in the Past

Ian Anderson

Lyrics Translation

Happy and I'm smiling
Walk a mile to drink your water
You know I'd love to love you
And above you there's no other

We'll go walking out
While others shout of war's disaster
Oh, we won't give in
Let's go living in the past

Once I used to join in
Every boy and girl was my friend
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
What they're fighting

Let us close our eyes
Outside their lives go on much faster
Oh, we won't give in
We'll keep living in the past

Oh, we won't give in
Let's go living in the past

Oh no, no we won't give in
Let's go living in the past

Happy and I'm smiling
Feliz e estou sorrindo
Walk a mile to drink your water
Caminho uma milha para beber a sua água
You know I'd love to love you
Você sabe que eu adoraria te amar
And above you there's no other
E acima de você não há outro
We'll go walking out
Vamos sair caminhando
While others shout of war's disaster
Enquanto outros gritam sobre o desastre da guerra
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, nós não vamos ceder
Let's go living in the past
Vamos viver no passado
Once I used to join in
Uma vez eu costumava participar
Every boy and girl was my friend
Todo menino e menina era meu amigo
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
Agora há revolução, mas eles não sabem
What they're fighting
Pelo que estão lutando
Let us close our eyes
Vamos fechar nossos olhos
Outside their lives go on much faster
Lá fora, suas vidas continuam muito mais rápido
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, nós não vamos ceder
We'll keep living in the past
Vamos continuar vivendo no passado
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, nós não vamos ceder
Let's go living in the past
Vamos viver no passado
Oh no, no we won't give in
Oh não, não vamos ceder
Let's go living in the past
Vamos viver no passado
Happy and I'm smiling
Feliz y estoy sonriendo
Walk a mile to drink your water
Caminaría una milla para beber tu agua
You know I'd love to love you
Sabes que me encantaría amarte
And above you there's no other
Y por encima de ti no hay otro
We'll go walking out
Salgamos a caminar
While others shout of war's disaster
Mientras otros gritan sobre el desastre de la guerra
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, no nos rendiremos
Let's go living in the past
Vamos a vivir en el pasado
Once I used to join in
Una vez solía unirme
Every boy and girl was my friend
Cada chico y chica era mi amigo
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
Ahora hay revolución, pero ellos no saben
What they're fighting
Por lo que están luchando
Let us close our eyes
Cerremos nuestros ojos
Outside their lives go on much faster
Fuera sus vidas continúan mucho más rápido
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, no nos rendiremos
We'll keep living in the past
Seguiremos viviendo en el pasado
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, no nos rendiremos
Let's go living in the past
Vamos a vivir en el pasado
Oh no, no we won't give in
Oh no, no nos rendiremos
Let's go living in the past
Vamos a vivir en el pasado
Happy and I'm smiling
Heureux et je souris
Walk a mile to drink your water
Marche un kilomètre pour boire ton eau
You know I'd love to love you
Tu sais que j'aimerais t'aimer
And above you there's no other
Et au-dessus de toi, il n'y a pas d'autre
We'll go walking out
Nous sortirons nous promener
While others shout of war's disaster
Tandis que d'autres crient au désastre de la guerre
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, nous ne céderons pas
Let's go living in the past
Allons vivre dans le passé
Once I used to join in
Autrefois, je participais
Every boy and girl was my friend
Chaque garçon et fille était mon ami
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
Maintenant il y a une révolution, mais ils ne savent pas
What they're fighting
Pour quoi ils se battent
Let us close our eyes
Fermons les yeux
Outside their lives go on much faster
Dehors, leurs vies se déroulent beaucoup plus vite
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, nous ne céderons pas
We'll keep living in the past
Nous continuerons à vivre dans le passé
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, nous ne céderons pas
Let's go living in the past
Allons vivre dans le passé
Oh no, no we won't give in
Oh non, non nous ne céderons pas
Let's go living in the past
Allons vivre dans le passé
Happy and I'm smiling
Glücklich und ich lächle
Walk a mile to drink your water
Laufe eine Meile, um dein Wasser zu trinken
You know I'd love to love you
Du weißt, ich würde dich lieben
And above you there's no other
Und über dir gibt es keinen anderen
We'll go walking out
Wir werden spazieren gehen
While others shout of war's disaster
Während andere von Kriegskatastrophen schreien
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, wir werden nicht nachgeben
Let's go living in the past
Lasst uns in der Vergangenheit leben
Once I used to join in
Einst habe ich mitgemacht
Every boy and girl was my friend
Jeder Junge und jedes Mädchen war mein Freund
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
Jetzt gibt es eine Revolution, aber sie wissen nicht
What they're fighting
Wofür sie kämpfen
Let us close our eyes
Lasst uns die Augen schließen
Outside their lives go on much faster
Draußen geht das Leben viel schneller weiter
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, wir werden nicht nachgeben
We'll keep living in the past
Wir werden weiter in der Vergangenheit leben
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, wir werden nicht nachgeben
Let's go living in the past
Lasst uns in der Vergangenheit leben
Oh no, no we won't give in
Oh nein, nein, wir werden nicht nachgeben
Let's go living in the past
Lasst uns in der Vergangenheit leben
Happy and I'm smiling
Felice e sto sorridendo
Walk a mile to drink your water
Cammino un miglio per bere la tua acqua
You know I'd love to love you
Sai che mi piacerebbe amarti
And above you there's no other
E sopra di te non c'è nessun altro
We'll go walking out
Andremo a fare una passeggiata
While others shout of war's disaster
Mentre gli altri gridano al disastro della guerra
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, non ci arrenderemo
Let's go living in the past
Andiamo a vivere nel passato
Once I used to join in
Una volta partecipavo
Every boy and girl was my friend
Ogni ragazzo e ragazza era mio amico
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
Ora c'è rivoluzione, ma non sanno
What they're fighting
Per cosa stanno combattendo
Let us close our eyes
Chiudiamo gli occhi
Outside their lives go on much faster
Fuori le loro vite continuano molto più velocemente
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, non ci arrenderemo
We'll keep living in the past
Continueremo a vivere nel passato
Oh, we won't give in
Oh, non ci arrenderemo
Let's go living in the past
Andiamo a vivere nel passato
Oh no, no we won't give in
Oh no, no non ci arrenderemo
Let's go living in the past
Andiamo a vivere nel passato
