| Matinee, seats for two,
| Matiné, asientos para dos,
|
| I was there, where were you?
| Yo estuve allí, ¿dónde estabas tú?
|
| Matinee, curtain call,
| Matiné, llamada a escena,
|
| And a hush through the hall.
| Y un silencio a través del pasillo.
|
| I had hoped you’d arrive
| Esperaba que llegaras
|
| As the stage came alive
| A medida que el escenario cobró vida
|
| With a show about a boy
| Con un programa sobre un niño
|
| Who loved a girl as I love you!
| ¡Quién amó a una niña como yo te amo a ti!
|
| When they kissed it tore my heart out,
| Cuando me besaron me partió el corazón,
|
| Once our love was like this;
| Una vez nuestro amor fue así;
|
| And I acted every part out
| Y actué cada parte
|
| As I thought of your kiss!
| ¡Como pensé en tu beso!
|
| Matinee, seats for two,
| Matiné, asientos para dos,
|
| I was there but where were you?
| Yo estuve allí pero ¿dónde estabas tú?
|
| Then, like us, they had a quarrel
| Luego, como nosotros, se pelearon
|
| And she left him alone,
| y ella lo dejo solo,
|
| But their story has a moral
| Pero su historia tiene una moraleja
|
| That we both should have known;
| que ambos deberíamos haber sabido;
|
| Love that’s true never did run smooth!
| ¡El amor que es verdad nunca funcionó sin problemas!
|
| Matinee, true to life,
| Matinee, fiel a la vida,
|
| With the joy and the strife!
| ¡Con la alegría y la lucha!
|
| They were sad as could be;
| Estaban muy tristes;
|
| That was you, that was me!
| ¡Ese fuiste tú, ese fui yo!
|
| But they kissed at the finale,
| Pero se besaron al final,
|
| And my heart melted away!
| ¡Y mi corazón se derritió!
|
| Matinee, seats for two,
| Matiné, asientos para dos,
|
| I was there, where were you today?
| Yo estuve allí, ¿dónde estuviste hoy?
|
| Matinee, true to life,
| Matinee, fiel a la vida,
|
| With the joy and the strife!
| ¡Con la alegría y la lucha!
|
| They were sad as could be;
| Estaban muy tristes;
|
| That was you, that was me!
| ¡Ese fuiste tú, ese fui yo!
|
| But they kissed at the finale,
| Pero se besaron al final,
|
| And my heart melted away!
| ¡Y mi corazón se derritió!
|
| Matinee, seats for two,
| Matiné, asientos para dos,
|
| I was there, where were you today? | Yo estuve allí, ¿dónde estuviste hoy? |
