Seems so long
ago, Nancy
Parece tan lejano, Nancy
From: Songs from a room

Parece
tan lejano,

through a
semi-precious stone.

there was no
one at all,
no había nadie en absoluto

one at all.

ago,
Parece tan lejano
none of us
were strong;
Ninguno
de nosotros estaba equivocado

and she slept
with everyone.
y durmió con todos
She never said
she'd wait for us
Ella
nunca dijo que nos esperara
although she
was alone,
aunque estaba sola
I think she
fell in love for us
Creo
que se enamoro de nosotros
in nineteen sixty
one,
en
mil novecientos sesenta y uno

an open
telephone.
un teléfono descolgado
We told her
she was beautiful,
Nosotros
le contamos que era bella
we told her
she was free

but none of us
would meet her in

ninguno de nosotros pudo encontrarla
the House of
Mystery,

And now you
look around you,
Y
ahora miras alrededor
see her
everywhere,
tu
la ves por todas partes
many use her
body,
Muchos usan su cuerpo
many comb her
hair.
muchos peinan su pelo
In the hollow
of the night
y
en el vacío de la noche
when you are
cold and numb
cuando estás frío y entumecido
you hear her
talking freely then,
la
oyes diciendo libremente entonces
she's happy that
you've come,
que
ella es feliz de que hayas venido
she's happy
that you've come.
que
ella es feliz de que hayas venido
