Letras de The Art Teacher - Rufus Wainwright

The Art Teacher (original)

There I was in uniform,
Looking at the art teacher
I was just a girl then
Never have I loved since then
He was not that much older than I was
He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
He asked us what our favorite work of art was
But never could I tell him it was him
Oh, I wish I could tell him…
Oh, I wish I could have told him
I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts,
I liked the John Singer Sargents.
He told me he liked Turner
Never have I turned since then
No, never have I turned to any other man
All this having been said
I married an executive company head
All this having been done
A Turner — I own one
Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing
Thinking of the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then
No, never have I loved
Any other man

(traducción)

Ahí estaba yo en uniforme,
Mirando al profesor de arte
yo solo era una niña entonces
Nunca he amado desde entonces
no era mucho mayor que yo
Había llevado a nuestra clase al Museo Metropolitano
Nos preguntó cuál era nuestra obra de arte favorita.
Pero nunca pude decirle que era él
Oh, me gustaría poder decirle...
Oh, desearía haberle dicho
Miré a Rubens y Rembrandt,
Me gustaban los John Singer Sargents.
Me dijo que le gustaba Turner
Nunca me he convertido desde entonces
No, nunca he recurrido a ningún otro hombre.
Todo esto dicho
Me casé con un director ejecutivo de la empresa
Todo esto hecho
Un Turner: tengo uno
Aquí estoy en este tipo de traje de pantalón uniforme
Pensando en el profesor de arte
Yo era solo una niña entonces;
Nunca he amado desde entonces
No, nunca he amado
Cualquier otro hombre
