| Remember that New Year’s Eve
| Recuerda que la Nochevieja
|
| We were frightened by a firework?
| ¿Nos asustó un fuego artificial?
|
| You could not believe the fuss I made
| No podías creer el alboroto que armé
|
| I should have laughed it off
| Debería haberme reído
|
| I should have left it lying
| Debería haberlo dejado tirado
|
| I did not receive much sympathy
| No recibí mucha simpatía.
|
| Remember that we were poor
| Recuerda que éramos pobres
|
| Though so young as not to notice
| Aunque tan joven como para no darse cuenta
|
| We could ill-afford to paint the town
| No podíamos permitirnos pintar la ciudad
|
| You had your father’s charm
| Tenías el encanto de tu padre
|
| And thus your mother’s Volvo
| Y así el Volvo de tu madre
|
| It wasn’t long before you drove me home
| No pasó mucho tiempo antes de que me llevaras a casa
|
| It took until October
| Tomó hasta octubre
|
| To win you over
| Para conquistarte
|
| Remember that New Year’s Eve
| Recuerda que la Nochevieja
|
| We were frightened by a firework?
| ¿Nos asustó un fuego artificial?
|
| When I’d watched you leave, the fuss I made
| Cuando te vi partir, el alboroto que hice
|
| I made myself calm down
| me obligué a calmarme
|
| And I made myself a promise:
| Y me hice una promesa:
|
| I would not conceive of taking no for an answer
| No concebiría aceptar un no por respuesta
|
| Though you kept me guessing and your distance
| Aunque me hiciste adivinar y tu distancia
|
| Were it not for my persistence
| si no fuera por mi persistencia
|
| We would never have been lovers
| nunca hubiéramos sido amantes
|
| You kept your distance and me guessing
| Mantuviste tu distancia y yo adivinando
|
| Finally acquiescing only after I’d discovered
| Finalmente accedí solo después de que descubrí
|
| You kept the things I sent you
| Te quedaste con las cosas que te envié
|
| The lengths I went to
| Los extremos a los que fui
|
| Great lengths… | Grandes longitudes… |
