That was such a lovely dream

The streets were golden in the sun

I’ve never been to Venezuela

but my family was all there
但我的家人都在那
and my mother looked so young

Venezuela looked like Brooklyn
委内瑞拉看起来像布鲁克林
Though the streets were twice as wide
除了街道要更宽一点
Children spun around the trees
孩子们绕着树转
Little tops, little Sufis
穿着小小的上衣，小小的羊毛衫
Mamas smile from inside
妈妈在院子里微笑
Oh Fernando I’m so sorry
哦，费尔南多，我真的很愧疚
for the love you saved for me

but my heart is locked forever
但我的心已经永远上锁
in another lovely dream

He approached me like a prince

and said he’s loved me all his life

He said he knew that I’d come here

that he’s been waiting all these years
这些年，他一直在等着
and I’m meant to be his wife
而我应该是他的妻子
And my sister was so jealous

of the love he had for me

She left, stomping ’cross the square
她跺着脚离开了广场
Rigid arms, flying hair
僵直的手臂，飞舞的头发
Her skirt had many layers
跳跃着的一层层的裙子
and it bounced like Sandra Dee’s
像桑德拉迪的舞步一般
Oh Fernando I’m so sorry
哦，费尔南多，我真的很难过
Whatever could I say
对一个我从未见过的男人
to a man I’ve never met
我还能说什么呢
who’s the one who got away
对一个即将离我而去的人
I cried to see his heart so plainly
我哭了，我看到他的心
for he was such a formal man
如此纯真，但又如此庄重
Handed to me like a daisy
像一株雏菊，被递给我
in the presence of my family
在我家人面前
from his damp and shaking hands
从他潮湿又颤抖着的手心
I said - Fernando, I can’t stay here
我说 - 费尔南多，我不能留在这儿呀
and a clock began to chime
说着，钟声响了
and I opened up my shirt
我打开我的衬衫
and in its bony cage
露出了空虚的骨骼
ticked a paper valentine
挂着一颗纸做的心
Oh Fernando I’m so sorry
哦，费尔南多，我真的很愧疚
for the love you saved for me
你为我保存的这些爱
But my heart is locked forever
但我的心已经永远上锁
in another lovely dream
