Kara

Aquí donde vivo en Indiana,Here where i live in indiana,
Es solo un pueblo pequeño, como cualquier otro,It's just a small town, like any other,
Allí vivía la chica más bonita,There lived the prettiest girl around,
Tenía cabello rubio y lentes.She had blonde hair and glasses.
Su nombre era Kara.Her name was kara.

Ella era una estudiante de último año en la preparatoria.She was a senior at the high school.
Yo estaba de descanso de la universidad.I was on break from the university.
Seguro, la había visto. Seguro, la conocía.Sure, i had seen her. sure, i had known her.
Era una chica entonces, ahora era una mujer.She was a girl then, now she was a woman.

Y me fui, fui, fui,And i was gone, gone, gone,
Fui, fui, fuiGone, gone, gone
Como la manzana, Adán no pudo resistirse,Like the apple, adam couldn't help himself,
Me fui, fui, fui,I was gone, gone, gone,
Fui, fui, Kara, adiós.Gone, gone, kara, goodbye.

Trabajaba los fines de semana en el supermercado,She worked on weekends down at the grocery,
Así que el sábado por la mañana tuve que ir de compras.So saturday morning i had to go shopping.
Tuvimos una pequeña charla, intenté ser gracioso,We made some small talk, i tried to be funny,
Cuando ella sonrió con esos ojos inocentes,When she smiled with those innocent eyes,
Supe que podía ver a través de mí.I knew she could see through me.

Más tarde esa noche, dimos un paseo afuera.Later that evening, we took a walk outside.
Las hojas crujían, y nuestras estrellas se cruzaban.The leaves were crunching, and our stars were crossing.
Sonreíamos a nada en absoluto, nos reíamos de todo,We smiled at nothing at all, we laughed at everything,
Pero el lunes por la mañana, las clases comenzaban...But monday morning, classes they were starting...

Y me fui, fui, fui,And i was gone, gone, gone,
Fui, fui, fuiGone, gone, gone
Como una estrella fugaz en una noche de Indiana,Like a falling star in an indiana night,
Me fui, fui, fui,I was gone, gone, gone,
Fui, fui, Kara, adiós.Gone, gone, kara, goodbye.

Al principio, volvía a casa cada vez que podía,First, i came back home every chance that i could get,
Luego las cosas empezaron a ponerse un poco más ocupadas, y las vacaciones terminaron.Then things started getting a little busier, and the holidays were over.
Antes de darme cuenta, conseguí un trabajo de verano en Indianápolis,Before you knew it i took a summer job in indianapolis,
Y la ciudad me envolvió con su niebla.And the city draped its fog over me.
Me dije a mí mismo que estaba demasiado ocupado para escribir.I told myself i was too busy to write.
El mayor error que cometí.Biggest mistake i ever made.

Cuando volví a casa al final del verano,When i came home at the end of the summer,
Llamé a Kara, y hablé con su madre,I called up kara, and i got her mother,
Dijo que se había ido a estudiar arte en Carolina del NorteShe said she'd left for school in north carolina
Para hacer algo maravilloso.To study art and do something wonderful.

Kara, de donde somos, aquí en Indiana,Kara, where we're from, here in indiana,
Solo somos un pueblo pequeño, como cualquier otro,We're just a small town, like any other,
Y todos te observamos, porque te amábamos.And we all watched you, because we loved you.
Eras tan hermosa. Ni siquiera lo intentabas.You were so beautiful. you didn't even try.

Y te fuiste, fuiste, fuiste,And you were gone, gone, gone,
Fuiste, fuiste, fuisteGone, gone, gone
Como el otoño en que me enamoré,Like the autumn i fell in love,
Te fuiste, fuiste, fuiste,You were gone, gone, gone,
Fuiste, fuiste, Kara, adiós.Gone, gone, kara, goodbye.

Haz algo hermoso.Do something beautiful.
Sé que lo harás...I know you will...
