When I was eight I had a friend When I was eight I had a friend Cuando yo tenía ocho años tenía un amigo With a pirate smile With a pirate smile Con una sonrisa de pirata Make believe and play pretend Make believe and play pretend Hacer creer y juegos de simulación We were innocent and wild We were innocent and wild Éramos inocentes y salvajes Hopped a fence and slammed the gate Hopped a fence and slammed the gate Saltó una valla y se estrelló contra la puerta Running down my alleyway Running down my alleyway Corriendo por mi callejón In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly A tiempo para ver volar las palomas de Sally We loved to watch them dive and soar We loved to watch them dive and soar Nos encantó verlos de buceo y volar Circle in the sky Circle in the sky Círculo en el cielo Free as a bird from three to four Free as a bird from three to four Libre como un pájaro tres-cuatro And never knowing why And never knowing why Y sin saber por qué Neighbors pulled their wash back in Neighbors pulled their wash back in Los vecinos sacaron a sus lavar de nuevo en Put away my Barbie and Ken Put away my Barbie and Ken Guarda mi Barbie y Ken Look out overhead Look out overhead Cuidado con sobrecarga While Sally's pigeons fly While Sally's pigeons fly Mientras las palomas vuelan de Sally I had a fool's confidence I had a fool's confidence Tuve la confianza de un tonto That the world had no boundaries That the world had no boundaries Que el mundo no tiene límites But instincts and common sense But instincts and common sense Pero los instintos y el sentido común Come in different quantities Come in different quantities Vienen en diferentes cantidades My heart began to My heart began to Mi corazón empezó a Skip to the beat Skip to the beat Saltar al ritmo Of the boy next door Of the boy next door Del chico de al lado She had her eye across the street She had her eye across the street Ella tenía su ojo en la calle On someone shy and tall On someone shy and tall En alguien tímido y altura We lived our dreams We lived our dreams Vivimos nuestros sueños And challenged fate And challenged fate Y desafió el destino In tears she told me she was late In tears she told me she was late En las lágrimas me dijo que era tarde And Sally let his pigeons out to fly... And Sally let his pigeons out to fly... Y Sally dejó que sus palomas a volar ... On the dresser sits a frame On the dresser sits a frame En el aparador se encuentra un marco With a photograph With a photograph Con una fotografía Two little girls in ponytails Two little girls in ponytails Dos niñas en una cola de caballo Some twenty one years back Some twenty one years back Algunos veintiún años atrás She left one night with just a nod She left one night with just a nod Salió una noche con sólo un guiño Was lost from some back alley job Was lost from some back alley job Se perdió de algún trabajo callejón I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly Cierro los ojos y volar palomas de Sally She never saw those birds again She never saw those birds again Ella nunca vio las aves más And me, I can't remember when And me, I can't remember when Y a mí, no puedo recordar cuando A pirate smile hasn't made me cry A pirate smile hasn't made me cry Una sonrisa de pirata no me ha hecho llorar I close my eyes I close my eyes Cierro los ojos And Sally's pigeons fly... And Sally's pigeons fly... Y las palomas de Sally volar ...
