"Llévame a la iglesia,
Como un perro rendiré culto en el altar de tus mentiras,
Te contaré mis pecados y tu podrás afilar el cuchillo,
Ofrecerme esa muerte sin muerte.”

“Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death”

“I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.”

“Nunca desvanece, queda
Tu beso, como cristal roto en mi piel
Todo amor grande acaba en violencia
Destrozando mi voz, dejándolo en silencio….
Sin importar donde te encuentras, puedes quedarte con mi arrepentimiento
Porque tengo estas cicatrices, recorándome que hay que olvidar.”

“It never fades away, it’s staying
Your kiss like broken glass on my skin
And all the greatest loves end in violence
It’s tearing up my voice, left in silence…
It doesn’t matter where you are, you can keep my regret
‘Cause baby I got these scars, reminding me to forget.”

And radio waves kept me company
In those beautiful days
When there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream
When I was a boy, I had a dream
Finding out what life could really mean
Don’t want a job because it drives me crazy
Just want to sing, "Do you love me, baby?"
When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy, I had a dream
All about the things I’d like to be
Soon as I was in my bed
Music played inside my head
When I was a boy, I had a dream
When I was a boy, I learned to play
Far into the night and drift away
Don’t want to work on the milk or the bread
Just want to play my guitar instead
When I was a boy, I had a dream
And radio waves kept me company
In those beautiful days
When there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream
