Just the other night at a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them, the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again
Sometimes I thank God
For unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin'
To the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
'Cause some of God's greatest gifts
Are unanswered prayers
She wasn't quite the angel
That I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
And as she walked away
Well I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the Good Lord
For the gifts in my life
Sometimes I thank God
For unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin'
To the man upstairs
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
'Cause some of God's greatest gifts
Are unanswered
Some of God's greatest gifts
Are all too often unanswered
Some of God's greatest gifts
Are unanswered prayers
Just the other night at a hometown football game
La otra noche en un partido de fútbol de mi ciudad natal
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
Mi esposa y yo nos encontramos con mi antiguo amor de la secundaria
And as I introduced them, the past came back to me
Y mientras los presentaba, el pasado volvió a mí
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
Y no pude evitar pensar en cómo solían ser las cosas
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
Ella era la que yo quería para siempre
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
Y cada noche rezaba para que Dios la hiciera mía
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
Y si él solo me concediera este deseo que deseaba entonces
I'd never ask for anything again
Nunca pediría nada más
Sometimes I thank God
A veces agradezco a Dios
For unanswered prayers
Por las oraciones sin respuesta
Remember when you're talkin'
Recuerda cuando estás hablando
To the man upstairs
Con el hombre de arriba
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Que solo porque no responda no significa que no le importe
'Cause some of God's greatest gifts
Porque algunos de los mayores regalos de Dios
Are unanswered prayers
Son oraciones sin respuesta
She wasn't quite the angel
Ella no era exactamente el ángel
That I remembered in my dreams
Que recordaba en mis sueños
And I could tell that time had changed me
Y pude notar que el tiempo me había cambiado
In her eyes too it seemed
Al parecer también ante sus ojos
We tried to talk about the old days
Intentamos hablar de los viejos tiempos
There wasn't much we could recall
No había mucho que pudiéramos recordar
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
Supongo que el Señor sabe lo que está haciendo después de todo
And as she walked away
Y mientras ella se alejaba
Well I looked at my wife
Bueno, miré a mi esposa
And then and there I thanked the Good Lord
Y entonces y allí agradecí al Buen Señor
For the gifts in my life
Por los regalos en mi vida
Sometimes I thank God
A veces agradezco a Dios
For unanswered prayers
Por las oraciones sin respuesta
Remember when you're talkin'
Recuerda cuando estás hablando
To the man upstairs
Con el hombre de arriba
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care

'Cause some of God's greatest gifts
Porque algunos de los mayores regalos de Dios

No tienen respuesta

Just the other night at a hometown football game
先日、地元のフットボールのゲームで
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
俺と妻は、俺が高校の時に恋した人に偶然出会った
And as I introduced them, the past came back to me
そして彼女に家族を紹介すると、過去の思い出が蘇った
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
かつてのことを思わずにはいられなかったんだ
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
彼女は俺がずっと求めた人だった
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
そして毎晩、神に彼女を俺のものにしてくれるよう祈っていた
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
そして、もし彼がこの願いを叶えてくれるなら、当時祈ったんだ
I'd never ask for anything again
もう二度と何も願うことはないだろう
Sometimes I thank God
時々俺は神に感謝する
For unanswered prayers
報われなかった祈りに
Remember when you're talkin'
自分が話している時を思い出して
To the man upstairs
天の上の人に
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
彼が答えないからといって、気にしていないわけじゃないんだ
'Cause some of God's greatest gifts
だって神の最大の贈り物の一部は
Are unanswered prayers
報われなかった祈りだから
She wasn't quite the angel
彼女は天使のような人じゃなかった
That I remembered in my dreams
俺が夢で思い出すような
And I could tell that time had changed me
そして、時間が俺を変えたことに気づいた
In her eyes too it seemed
彼女の目にも、それが見えたようだ
We tried to talk about the old days
俺たちは昔のことについて話そうとした
There wasn't much we could recall
思い出せる事はほとんどなかった
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
結局のところ主は、自分が何をしているのか知っているのだろう
And as she walked away
そして彼女が去って行く時
Well I looked at my wife
俺は妻を見た
And then and there I thanked the Good Lord
そしてその時、俺は善良な主に感謝したんだ
For the gifts in my life
俺の人生の贈り物に
Sometimes I thank God
時々俺は神に感謝する
For unanswered prayers
報われなかった祈りに
Remember when you're talkin'
自分が話している時を思い出して
To the man upstairs
天の上の人に
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
彼が答えないからといって、気にしていないわけじゃないんだ
'Cause some of God's greatest gifts
だって神の最大の贈り物の一部は
Are unanswered
報われなかった祈りだから
Some of God's greatest gifts
神の最大の贈り物の一部は
Are all too often unanswered
よく報われないものだ
Some of God's greatest gifts
神の最大の贈り物の一部は
Are unanswered prayers
報われなかった祈りだ
