Lyrics & Translation
English
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler
Than it should ever be
I'm on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and I remain the best of friends
Even after all this ends
Can we pretend?
I'm on my, I'm on my back again
It's seeming more and more
Like all we ever do is see
How far it bends
Before it breaks in half and then
We bend it back again
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
In my blood, in my blood
Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
In the flood
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler
Than it should ever be
I'm watching movies back to back
In black and white, I never
Seen anybody do it like I do it any better
Been going over you, I'm overdue for new endeavors
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether
You'd really like it in the limelight
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
I'm still a victim in my own right
But I'm the villain in my own eyes
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea

Spanish translation of When I Was Older by Billie Eilish
When I Was Older* (original Billie Eilish)
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler
Than it should ever be
I'm on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and I remain the best of friends
Even after all this ends
Can we pretend?
I'm on my, I'm on my back again
It's seeming more and more
Like all we ever do is see
How far it bends
Before it breaks in half and then
We bend it back again
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
In my blood, in my blood
Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
In the flood
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler
Than it should ever be
I'm watching movies back to back
In black and white, I never
Seen anybody do it like I do it any better
Been going over you, I'm overdue for new endeavors
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether
You'd really like it in the limelight
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
I'm still a victim in my own right
But I'm the villain in my own eyes
When I was older

When I Was Older (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Cuando era mayor
Era un marinero
En mar abierto
Pero ahora estoy bajo el agua
Y mi piel está más pálida
De lo que debería estar
Estoy de espaldas otra vez
Soñando con un tiempo y un lugar
Donde tú y yo sigamos siendo los mejores amigos
Incluso después de que todo esto termine
¿Podemos fingir?
Estoy de, estoy de espaldas otra vez
Parece cada vez más
Que todo lo que hacemos es ver
Hasta dónde se dobla
Antes de que se rompa por la mitad y luego
Lo doblamos de nuevo
Supongo que quedé atrapado en medio de esto
Sí, me han enseñado, tengo un poco de eso
En mi sangre, en mi sangre
Los recuerdos arden como un incendio forestal
La lluvia torrencial convierte cualquier pira funeraria en barro
En la inundación
Cuando era mayor
Era un marinero
En mar abierto
Pero ahora estoy bajo el agua
Y mi piel está más pálida
De lo que debería estar
Estoy viendo películas seguidas
En blanco y negro, nunca
He visto a nadie hacerlo como yo, mejor
He estado pensando en ti, estoy atrasado para nuevas iniciativas
Nadie está tan solo como yo y no sé si
Realmente te gustaría estar en el centro de atención
Simpatizarías con todos los malos
Sigo siendo una víctima por derecho propio
Pero soy el villano en mis propios ojos
Cuando era mayor
Era un marinero
En mar abierto
