Your Possible Pasts by Pink Floyd
Lyrics & Translation
English
They flutter behind you your possible pasts
Some bright-eyed and crazy some frightened and lost
A warning to anyone still in command
Ranks! Fire!
Of their possible future to take care
In derelict sidings the poppies entwine
With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?
(Closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer)
She stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile
Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign
Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs
Stepping up boldly one put out his hand
He said, "I was just a child then. Now I'm only a man."
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?
(Closer, closer, closer, closer, closer)
By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad
Tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
Now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay
Strung-out behind us the banners and flags
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?
(Closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer)

They flutter behind you your possible pasts
Some bright-eyed and crazy some frightened and lost
A warning to anyone still in command
Ranks! Fire!

With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?
(Closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer, closer)
She stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile

Your Possible Pasts (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Aletean tras de ti tus posibles pasados
Algunos con ojos brillantes y locos, otros asustados y perdidos
Una advertencia para cualquiera que aún esté al mando
¡Filas! ¡Fuego!
De su posible futuro para cuidar
En apartaderos abandonados las amapolas se entrelazan
Con camiones de ganado esperando la próxima vez
¿Me recuerdas? ¿Cómo solíamos ser?
¿Crees que deberíamos estar más cerca?
(Más cerca, más cerca, más cerca, más cerca, más cerca, más cerca, más cerca)
Ella estaba en la puerta, el fantasma de una sonrisa
Persiguiendo su rostro como un letrero de hotel barato
Sus ojos fríos implorando a los hombres en sus gabardinas
Por el oro en sus bolsos o los cuchillos en sus espaldas
Acercándose audazmente, uno extendió su mano
Él dijo: "Entonces solo era un niño. Ahora solo soy un hombre."
¿Me recuerdas? ¿Cómo solíamos ser?
¿Crees que deberíamos estar más cerca?
(Más cerca, más cerca, más cerca, más cerca, más cerca)
Por los fríos y religiosos fuimos tomados de la mano
Nos mostraron cómo sentirnos bien y nos dijeron que nos sintiéramos mal
Con la lengua atada y aterrorizados aprendimos a rezar
Ahora nuestros sentimientos son profundos y fríos como la arcilla
Desplegadas tras nosotros las pancartas y banderas
De nuestros posibles pasados yacen en jirones y harapos
¿Me recuerdas? ¿Cómo solíamos ser?
¿Crees que deberíamos estar más cerca?
(Más cerca, más cerca, más cerca, más cerca, más cerca, más cerca, más cerca)
