| This summer I went swimming
| Este verano fui a nadar
|
| This summer I might have drowned
| Este verano podría haberme ahogado
|
| But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
| Pero contuve la respiración y pateé mis pies
|
| And I moved my arms around, I moved my arms around
| Y moví mis brazos alrededor, moví mis brazos alrededor
|
| This summer I swam in the ocean
| Este verano nadé en el océano
|
| And I swam in a swimming pool
| Y nadé en una piscina
|
| Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes
| Sal mis heridas, cloro mis ojos
|
| I’m a self-destructive fool, a self-destructive fool
| Soy un tonto autodestructivo, un tonto autodestructivo
|
| This summer I swam in a public place
| Este verano nadé en un lugar público
|
| And a reservoir, to boot
| Y un depósito, para arrancar
|
| At the latter I was informal
| En este último estuve informal
|
| At the former I wore my suit, I wore my swimming suit
| En el primero me puse mi traje, me puse mi traje de baño
|
| This summer I did the backstroke
| Este verano hice la espalda
|
| And you know that’s not all
| Y sabes que eso no es todo
|
| I did the breast stroke and the butterfly
| Hice la braza y la mariposa
|
| And the old Australian crawl, the old Australian crawl
| Y el viejo rastreo australiano, el viejo rastreo australiano
|
| This summer I did swan dives
| Este verano hice saltos de cisne
|
| And jackknifes for you all
| Y navajas para todos ustedes
|
| And once when you weren’t looking
| Y una vez cuando no estabas mirando
|
| I did a cannonball, I did a cannonball | Hice una bala de cañón, hice una bala de cañón |
