A Change Is Gonna Come
Sam Cooke
There's an old friend that
I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin ever since
He said it's been a long time comin'
But I know my change is gonna come
Oh yeah
He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew
What was up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come
Oh yeah
I went, I went to my brother
And I asked him, brother
Could you help me, please?
He said, good sister
I'd like to but I'm not able
And when I, when I looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees
Yes I was, oh
There've been times that I thought
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
But somehow right now I believe
That I'm able, I'm able to carry on
I tell you that it's been along
And oh it's been an uphill journey
All the way
But I know, I know, I know
I know my change is gonna come
Sometimes I had to cry all night long
Yes I did
Sometimes
I had to give up right
For what I knew was wrong
Yes it's been an uphill journey
It's sure's been a long way comin
Yes it has
It's been real hard
Every step of the way
But I believe, I believe
This evenin' my change is come
Yeah I tell you that
My change is come
There's an old friend that
Hay un viejo amigo que
I once heard say
Una vez escuché decir
Something that touched my heart
Algo que tocó mi corazón
And it began this way
Y comenzó así
I was born by the river
Nací junto al río
In a little tent
En una pequeña tienda
And just like the river
Y al igual que el río
I've been runnin ever since
He estado corriendo desde entonces
He said it's been a long time comin'
Dijo que ha pasado mucho tiempo
But I know my change is gonna come
Pero sé que mi cambio va a llegar
Oh yeah
Oh sí
He said it's been too hard livin'
Dijo que ha sido demasiado duro vivir
But I'm afraid to die
Pero tengo miedo de morir
I might not be if I knew
Quizás no lo tendría si supiera
What was up there
Lo que hay allá arriba
Beyond the sky
Más allá del cielo
It's been a long, a long time comin'
Ha pasado mucho, mucho tiempo
But I know my change has got to come
Pero sé que mi cambio tiene que llegar
Oh yeah
Oh sí
I went, I went to my brother
Fui, fui a mi hermano
And I asked him, brother
Y le pregunté, hermano
Could you help me, please?
¿Podrías ayudarme, por favor?
He said, good sister
Dijo, buena hermana
I'd like to but I'm not able
Me gustaría pero no puedo
And when I, when I looked around
Y cuando, cuando miré a mi alrededor
I was right back down
Estaba de nuevo abajo
Down on my bended knees
Abajo sobre mis rodillas dobladas
Yes I was, oh
Sí lo estaba, oh
There've been times that I thought
Ha habido momentos en que pensé
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
Pensé que no duraría mucho
But somehow right now I believe
Pero de alguna manera ahora creo
That I'm able, I'm able to carry on
Que soy capaz, soy capaz de seguir adelante
I tell you that it's been along
Te digo que ha sido largo
And oh it's been an uphill journey
Y oh ha sido un viaje cuesta arriba
All the way
Todo el camino
But I know, I know, I know
Pero sé, sé, sé
I know my change is gonna come
Sé que mi cambio va a llegar
Sometimes I had to cry all night long
A veces tuve que llorar toda la noche
Yes I did
Sí lo hice
Sometimes
A veces
I had to give up right
Tuve que renunciar a lo correcto
For what I knew was wrong
Por lo que sabía que estaba mal
Yes it's been an uphill journey
Sí, ha sido un viaje cuesta arriba
It's sure's been a long way comin
Seguro que ha sido un largo camino
Yes it has
Sí lo ha sido
It's been real hard
Ha sido realmente duro
Every step of the way
Cada paso del camino
But I believe, I believe
