Traducción de la letra de la canción May - James Durbin

May (original)

Now, May and I were two children just swimming in a pool
We’d ride on rockets, swing-sets and we tried to touch the moon
And I will never forget the first time she touched my hand
I knew this could be the one who would make me an honest man
She was like the way she was
She was like the way she was
Now, we got older faster than we ever could have seen
Lights went down on graduation then on a wedding ring
We bought our first house and had a baby on the way
But during birth, I got my daughter
Jesus took away my May
And I didn’t know how to say what I felt
No, I didn’t know how to say what it felt like
She was just like she was
When you looked into her eyes you’d come undone
She was just like she was
She could love you on your worst day
And didn’t care about the mistakes
She was like she was
Now, baby girls love daddy most
But they need a mother’s care
I tried my best to raise her right
I just couldn’t braid her hair
One day she got old enough to have her wedding day
But as I walked her down the aisle
All I could see was my May
And I didn’t know how to say what I felt
No, I didn’t know how to say what it felt like
She was just like she was
When you looked into her eyes you’d see the sun
She was just like she was
She could love you on your worst day
And didn’t care about the mistakes
She was like she was
But May, I hope you can see what I see
'Cause when they talk about our baby girl they think of you
And they say to me
She’s just like she was
When I looked into her eyes I’d see the sun
She was just like she was
She could love you on your worst day
And doesn’t care about the mistakes
She was like she was
She was just like she was
When I looked into her eyes I’d come undone
She was just like she was
And I cannot feel my heart beat
Without the thought of her inside me
She was like she was

May (traducción)

Ahora, May y yo éramos dos niños nadando en una piscina
Cabalgábamos en cohetes, columpios y tratábamos de tocar la luna
Y nunca olvidaré la primera vez que me tocó la mano.
Sabía que este podría ser el que me haría un hombre honesto
Ella era como ella era
Ella era como ella era
Ahora, envejecemos más rápido de lo que podríamos haber visto
Las luces se apagaron en la graduación y luego en un anillo de bodas
Compramos nuestra primera casa y tuvimos un bebé en camino
Pero durante el parto, tuve a mi hija
Jesús me quitó mayo
Y no supe decir lo que sentía
No, no sabía cómo decir lo que se sentía
ella era como ella era
Cuando la mirabas a los ojos te deshacías
ella era como ella era
Ella podría amarte en tu peor día
Y no me importaron los errores
ella era como ella era
Ahora, las niñas aman más a papá
Pero necesitan el cuidado de una madre.
Hice todo lo posible para criarla bien
simplemente no podía trenzar su cabello
Un día tuvo la edad suficiente para tener el día de su boda.
Pero mientras la acompañaba por el pasillo
Todo lo que pude ver fue mi mayo
Y no supe decir lo que sentía
No, no sabía cómo decir lo que se sentía
ella era como ella era
Cuando la mirabas a los ojos, veías el sol
ella era como ella era
Ella podría amarte en tu peor día
Y no me importaron los errores
ella era como ella era
Pero May, espero que puedas ver lo que yo veo
Porque cuando hablan de nuestra niña, piensan en ti
Y me dicen
ella es como ella era
Cuando la miraba a los ojos, veía el sol
ella era como ella era
Ella podría amarte en tu peor día
Y no le importan los errores
ella era como ella era
ella era como ella era
Cuando la miré a los ojos, me deshice
ella era como ella era
Y no puedo sentir mi corazón latir
Sin pensar en ella dentro de mí
ella era como ella era
