You And I (When We Were Young) (originale)

I sometimes sit and think about our evenings in the firelight
You and I when we were young
Laughing at the crazy-patterned shadows that were dancing on the wall
Without a care, with time to spend
Hardly speaking for hours on end
That was you and I when we were young
Walking hand in hand beside the river at the weekends
You and I when we were young
Children with their fishing nets were laughing as they took their catches home
Caterpillars in paper bags
Knees tied up with dirty rags
That was you and I when we were young
Brushing through the fallen leaves together in the autumn
You and I when we were young
Planning for the future without knowing what it held for us at all
The road to nowhere never climbs
We changed direction a dozen times
That was you and I when we were young

(traduzione)

A volte mi siedo e penso alle nostre serate alla luce del fuoco
Io e te quando eravamo giovani
Ridendo delle ombre dai motivi folli che danzavano sul muro
Senza cure, con tempo da spendere
Parlando a malapena per ore e ore
Eravamo io e te quando eravamo giovani
Camminando mano nella mano lungo il fiume nei fine settimana
Io e te quando eravamo giovani
I bambini con le reti da pesca ridevano mentre portavano a casa il pescato
Bruchi in sacchi di carta
Ginocchia legate con stracci sporchi
Eravamo io e te quando eravamo giovani
Spazzolare insieme le foglie cadute in autunno
Io e te quando eravamo giovani
Pianificare il futuro senza sapere cosa ci riservasse
La strada verso il nulla non sale mai
Abbiamo cambiato direzione una dozzina di volte
Eravamo io e te quando eravamo giovani
