Era una mañana de abril cuando nos dijeron que deberíamos irnos.
Y cuando me volví hacia ti, me sonreíste.
¿Cómo podríamos decir que no?
Oh, qué divertido sería
vivir los sueños que siempre tuvimos.
Oh, las canciones que cantaremos
cuando por fin regresemos.
Slipping off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
Debajo de las calles que humean y silban,
el diablo está en su agujero.
Oh, navegar
hacia tierras arenosas y otros días.
Oh, tocar el sueño
que se esconde dentro y nunca se ve, sí.
Hacia el sol, el sur, el norte
por fin los pájaros han volado.
Los grilletes del compromiso cayeron
en pedazos al suelo.
Oh, cabalgar en el viento,
hollar el aire por encima del estrépito.
Oh, reír a carcajadas,
bailar mientras luchábamos contra la multitud, sí.
To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, sí
Days went by when tú y yo,
bañados en el resplandor del verano eterno,
As far away and distant
Our mutual child did grow
Oh, el dulce estribillo
sosiega el alma y alivia el dolor.
Oh, Albión permanece
dormida para levantarse de nuevo.
Deambulamos y deambulamos.
¿En qué lugar cesar la búsqueda?
Los poderosos brazos de Atlas
sostienen los cielos de la tierra
Pues los poderosos brazos de Atlas
sostienen los cielos de la tierra,
de la tierra
Conozco el camino, conozco el camino, conozco el camino, conozco el camino
Conozco el camino, conozco el camino, conozco el camino, conozco el camino
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Pues los poderosos brazos de Atlas
sostienen los cielos de la tierra
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
It was an April morning when they told us we should go
And as I turned to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
Oh, the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing
When we at last return again
Slipping off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss
The devil's in his hole
Oh, to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh, to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Into the sun, the south, the north
At last the birds have flown
The shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh, to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh, to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowds, yeah
To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah
Days went by when you and I
Bathed in eternal summer's glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual child did grow
Oh the sweet refrain
Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh Albion remains
Sleeping now to rise again
Wandering and wandering
What place to rest the search?
The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
For the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
From the earth
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
For the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
You said I was the only
With my lemon in your hand
Uh oh
Uh oh ho
Exhibition is your habit
Emotion second hand
Uh oh, Uh oh
Had to pull away to save me
Maybe next time around
Oooh
And she said
"Don't you wanna?"
"¿No quieres cocinarlo, cocinarlo, cocinarlo?"
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to probarlo, freírlo.
Na na na na na nah, yeah
Woo-ooh-ooh-oooh-hoo
Heard a cry for mercy, In the cfvity of the damned
Oh oh babe, damned
In the pits you go no lower
The next stop's underground
Oh, hello underground
Your wine and roses ain't quite over
Fate deals a losing hand
And I said
"Didn't mean to- Did not mean to fluff it
You didn't plan it, you overran it"
Do you wanna? Do you wanna?
You wanna do it when you wanna
Do you wanna? Do you wanna?
You wanna do it when you wanna
When you blow it, babe
You got to blow it right
Oh baby, if you fake it, mama
Baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama
Please fake it right (for yourself, babe)
When you f-f-f-fake it baby
You're fakin' it for your life
For your life, for your life, for your life
Hazlo, hazlo, hazlo, hazlo, hazlo. Hazlo cuando quieras.
Hazlo, hazlo, hazlo, hazlo, hazlo. Hazlo cuando quieras.
Oh, I can have you, baby
pero no sé qué hacer, sí
Sometime, babe
Nothin' I could do, yeah
On the balance of a crystal
Payin' through the nose
And when they couldn't resist you
I thought you'd go with the flow
And now your stage is empty
Bring down the curtain, baby please
Fold up your show
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to fry in it
I hadn't planned it, I overran it, fryin'
For your life
For your life
You said I was the only
With my lemon in your hand
Uh oh
Uh oh ho
Exhibition is your habit
Emotion second hand
Uh oh, Uh oh
Had to pull away to save me
Maybe next time around
Oooh
And she said
"Don't you wanna?"
"Don't you wanna cook it, cook it, cook it?"
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to try it, fry it
Na na na na na nah, yeah
Woo-ooh-ooh-oooh-hoo
Heard a cry for mercy, In the cfvity of the damned
Oh oh babe, damned
In the pits you go no lower
The next stop's underground
Oh, hello underground
Your wine and roses ain't quite over
Fate deals a losing hand
And I said
"Didn't mean to- Did not mean to fluff it
You didn't plan it, you overran it"
Do you wanna? Do you wanna?
You wanna do it when you wanna
Do you wanna? Do you wanna?
You wanna do it when you wanna
When you blow it, babe
You got to blow it right
Oh baby, if you fake it, mama
Baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama
Please fake it right (for yourself, babe)
When you f-f-f-fake it baby
You're fakin' it for your life
For your life, for your life, for your life
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it. Do it when you wanna
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it. Do it when you wanna
Oh, I can have you, baby
But I don't know what to do, yeah
Sometime, babe
Nothin' I could do, yeah
On the balance of a crystal
Payin' through the nose
And when they couldn't resist you
I thought you'd go with the flow
And now your stage is empty
Bring down the curtain, baby please
Fold up your show
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to fry in it
I hadn't planned it, I overran it, fryin'
For your life
For your life
One time love, take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick
Be careful how you choose it
A veces es duro sentirlo morder,
sentirlo morder.
Un hombre que conozco went down to Louisiana
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeked through
John Cameron with Suzanna
He kissed the whiskers, left and right
Whiskers
Now, now, now, fright subsides
Out at a hotel in the quarter
Our friends check in to pass the night
Now love gets hot, but fire preceded water
Poor whiskers set that room alight
Whiskers
Down on Bourbon street
You know it's right
You can see my friend,
They run around all through the night
Most everywhere
Until the closet's bare
Run for the razor
Doin' up my hair
New Orleans queens
Sure know how to schmooze it
Maybe for some that seems alright
When I step out, strut down with my sugar
She'd best not talk como Barry White.
One time love, take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick
Be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite
One time love, take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick
Be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite
Feel it bite
A man I know, went down to Louisiana
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeked through
John Cameron with Suzanna
He kissed the whiskers, left and right
Whiskers
Now, now, now, fright subsides

Oh, no es culpa de nadie más que mía, sí,

Trying to save my soul to light
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine
Devil he told me to roll
The devil he told me to roll-oll-oll, oh

How to kick that gong to life

Me quemé en el ardor del momento,
No, podría haber sido el calor del día.
When I learned how my time had been wasted
Dear fellows, I turned away.
Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder
When I should happen to fall
The timing is right growin' older
tengo amigos que no me darán una mierda.
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la la.
The corner of Bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey.
So I looked 'round to hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
para mi sorpresa, he'd melted away, yeah.
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la la.
As the moon and the stars call the order
Inside my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay.
I don't ask that my field's full of clover
I don't moan at la puerta de la oportunidad
And if you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward.
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la la
Now do it.
Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes de los sabios
When I bled from the heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise.
Ahora todo está bien bajo el cielo.
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around
You can land in a boat without oars.
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la la.
I was burned in the heat of the moment
No, it coulda been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted
Dear fellows, I turned away.
Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder
When I should happen to fall
The timing is right growin' older
I've got friends who will give me fuck all.
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la la.
The corner of Bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey.
So I looked 'round to hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah.
La la la la la la, yeah

La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la la
Now do it.
Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When I bled from the heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise.
Now everything's fine under heaven
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around
You can land in a boat without oars.
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah
La la la la la la.
¿Como es que las veinticuatro horas
nena, a veces parecen convertirse en días?
Oh, veinticuatro horas
nena, a veces parecen convertirse en días, sí?
Un minuto parece toda una vida,
Oh, nena, cuando me siento así.
Sentado, mirando el reloj,
Oh, el tiempo mueve tan lento.
I've been watching for the hands to move
Until I just can't look no more
¿Cómo es que las veinticuatro horas,
nena, a veces parecen convertirse en días?
Un minuto parece toda una vida,
nena, cuando me siento así.
To sing a song for you
I recall you used to say
"Oh, baby, this one's for we two"
Which in the end is you anyway
¿Cómo es que las veinticuatro horas,
nena, a veces parecen convertirse en días?
Un minuto parece toda una vida,
Oh, nena, cuando me siento así.
There was a time that I stood tall
ante los ojos de otros hombres.
Pero te dejé por mi propia elección, mujer,
y ahora, no puedo volver.
How come twenty-four hours
Sometimes seem to slip into days?
Well, well, well a minute seems like a lifetime
Baby, when I feel this way
A minute seems like a lifetime
Oh, baby, when I feel this way
I feel this way
How come twenty-four hours
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh, twenty-four hours
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days, yeah?
A minute seems like a lifetime
Oh, baby, when I feel this way
Sitting, looking at the clock
Oh, time moves so slow
I've been watching for the hands to move
Until I just can't look no more
How come twenty-four hours
Baby, sometimes seems to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime
Baby, when I feel this way
To sing a song for you
I recall you used to say
"Oh, baby, this one's for we two"
Which in the end is you anyway
How come twenty-four hours
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime
Oh, baby, when I feel this way
There was a time that I stood tall
In the eyes of other men
But by my own choice I left you, woman
And now I can't get back again
How come twenty-four hours
Sometimes seem to slip into days?
Well, well, well a minute seems like a lifetime
Baby, when I feel this way
A minute seems like a lifetime
Oh, baby, when I feel this way
I feel this way
