The Day Before You Came by ABBA
Lyrics & Translation
English
I must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
The day before you came
Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came
And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came

The Day Before You Came (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Debí haber salido de casa a las ocho, porque siempre lo hago
Mi tren, estoy segura, salió de la estación justo a su hora
Debí haber leído el periódico de la mañana yendo a la ciudad
Y habiendo terminado el editorial, sin duda debí haber fruncido el ceño
Debí haber llegado a mi escritorio sobre las nueve y cuarto
Con cartas por leer, y montones de papeles esperando ser firmados
Debí haber ido a almorzar sobre las doce y media
El lugar de siempre, la gente de siempre
Y aún así, estoy casi segura de que debió haber llovido
El día antes de que llegaras
Debí haber encendido mi séptimo cigarrillo a las dos y media
Y en ese momento ni siquiera noté que estaba triste
Debí haber seguido arrastrándome por los asuntos del día
Sin saber realmente nada, escondí una parte de mí
A las cinco debí haberme ido, no hay excepción a la regla
Una cuestión de rutina, lo he hecho desde que terminé la escuela
El tren de vuelta a casa
Sin duda debí haber leído el periódico de la tarde entonces
Oh sí, estoy segura de que mi vida estaba bien dentro de su marco habitual
El día antes de que llegaras
Debí haber abierto la puerta de mi casa sobre las ocho
Y parado de camino a comprar comida china para llevar
Estoy segura de que cené viendo algo en la tele
No hay, creo, un solo episodio de Dallas que no viera
Debí haberme ido a la cama sobre las diez y cuarto
Necesito mucho sueño, y por eso me gusta estar en la cama para entonces
Debí haber leído un rato
El último de Marilyn French o algo de ese estilo
Es curioso, pero no tenía la sensación de vivir sin rumbo
El día antes de que llegaras
Y al apagar la luz
Debí haber bostezado y acurrucado para otra noche más
Y el repiqueteo en el tejado debí haber oído el sonido de la lluvia
El día antes de que llegaras
