Traduzione del testo della canzone Since You Left Home on Your Journey, Things Have Changed Around Here - Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

Since You Left Home on Your Journey, Things Have Changed Around Here (originale)

It was fall when we came back
From a failed transplant out in Southern California
I remember crossing the border to Michigan
And feeling my heart almost leap out of my chest
I was back home
I felt whole again
I turned to Cathy, and she was beaming too
We laughed and talked about how it was so true
That you can never really appreciate home
Until you truly leave it
And how looking for something and not finding it
Can sometimes lead you to finding out
That you’ve had it all along

Since You Left Home on Your Journey, Things Have Changed Around Here (traduzione)

Era autunno quando siamo tornati
Da un trapianto fallito nel sud della California
Ricordo di aver attraversato il confine con il Michigan
E sentire il mio cuore quasi balzare fuori dal petto
Ero a casa
Mi sono sentito di nuovo integro
Mi sono rivolto a Cathy e anche lei era raggiante
Abbiamo riso e parlato di come fosse così vero
Che non puoi mai davvero apprezzare a casa
Finché non lo lasci davvero
E come cercare qualcosa e non trovarla
A volte può portarti a scoprirlo
Che ce l'hai sempre
