Paroles et traduction Franco Battiato - Estabas Conmigo

Estabas Conmigo

Somos detritus,/restos humanos/arrastrados por la corriente,
Que no conoce pausa / ni destino alguno.
Y nuestra mente, / nuestras acciones / son la causa;
Y los efectos / son nuestro sino.
Lo que vaya a pasar / pasará
Por más cosas que hagamos para evitarlo.
Lo que vaya a pasar / pasará / porque ya ha pasado.
Eri con me, ma io non ero con te,
Sei con me, ma io non sono con te,
Ero con te, ma tu non eri con me.
Vivimos en la impermanencia,
La incertidumbre de la vida condicionada,
Mas nos recordaremos los dos secretamente.
Y llegará el día esperado
En que despejemos los pasajes obstruidos.
Preparémonos para nuevas existencias./Eri con... eri con me.

You Were with Me

We are detritus, / human remains / dragged by the current,
Which knows no pause / nor any destination.
And our minds, / our actions / are the cause;
And the effects / are our destiny.
What will happen / will happen
No matter what we do to prevent it.
What will happen / will happen / because it has already happened.
You were with me, but I was not with you,
You are with me, but I am not with you,
I was with you, but you were not with me.
We live in impermanence,
The uncertainty of conditioned life,
But we will remember each other secretly.
And the awaited day will come
When we clear away the obstructed passages.
Let us prepare for new existences. / You were with... you were with me.
