| If I could look across the country
| Si pudiera mirar a través del país
|
| From California to New Jersey
| De California a Nueva Jersey
|
| Then I would count the parks and lake resorts
| Entonces contaría los parques y los centros turísticos del lago
|
| And number all the jets and airports
| Y numerar todos los jets y aeropuertos
|
| All those rather dreary rain clouds still bother me
| Todas esas nubes de lluvia bastante tristes todavía me molestan
|
| 'Cause I look through the camera eyepiece and cannot see
| Porque miro a través del ocular de la cámara y no puedo ver
|
| If I could open up my window
| Si pudiera abrir mi ventana
|
| And see from Tampa Bay to Juneau
| Y ver desde Tampa Bay hasta Juneau
|
| Then I would survey all those open miles
| Entonces inspeccionaría todas esas millas abiertas
|
| And line them up in single file
| Y alinearlos en un solo archivo
|
| Everywhere I look I see green scenic sublime
| Dondequiera que miro veo verde escénico sublime
|
| And all those oceanic vistas are so divine
| Y todas esas vistas oceánicas son tan divinas
|
| If I was standing on the balcony
| Si estuviera parado en el balcón
|
| And you were walking down below
| Y estabas caminando abajo
|
| I’d feel rather depressed and out of place
| Me sentiría bastante deprimido y fuera de lugar.
|
| And lonely just to watch you go
| Y solo para verte partir
|
| If you were swinging from the highway overpass
| Si te estuvieras balanceando desde el paso elevado de la autopista
|
| Within the western hemisphere
| Dentro del hemisferio occidental
|
| I’d feel rather afraid and insincere
| Me sentiría bastante asustado y poco sincero.
|
| If you began to disappear
| Si empezaste a desaparecer
|
| If I was walking through a sad art gallery
| Si estuviera caminando por una galería de arte triste
|
| And you were driving through the night
| Y estabas conduciendo a través de la noche
|
| I’d feel rather alone and ill at ease
| Me sentiría bastante solo e intranquilo
|
| Beneath the brilliant showroom light
| Debajo de la brillante luz de la sala de exposición
|
| If I was flying on a plane above your town
| Si estuviera volando en un avión sobre tu ciudad
|
| And you were gazing at the sky
| Y estabas mirando al cielo
|
| Somehow I’d feel intact and reassured
| De alguna manera me sentiría intacto y tranquilo
|
| If you began to wave goodbye | Si empezaste a despedirte |
