Slowness

Miles of highway poppies, a stretch of maybe flowers
Past Signal Hill a ways
We were parked and searching
For a hubcap rolling into the fields of thorn
Although we couldn't see a thing that night
Stars still shone
In their slowness
And their slowness
Took us by surprise

If I never told you how you helped to rescue
The car and all inside
Remember roads were steep and
You and I went sliding down the grade from Gate's Pass
You asleep and me behind the wheel hovering
In that slowness
And that slowness
Has never gone away

Lento

Kilómetros de amapolas de carretera, un tramo de tal vez flores
Pasado Signal Hill a maneras
Estábamos estacionados y buscando
Para un tapacubos rodando en los campos de espinas
Aunque no pudimos ver nada esa noche
Las estrellas aún brillan
En su lentitud
Y su lentitud
Nos tomó por sorpresa

Si nunca te dijera cómo ayudaste a rescatar
El coche y todo el interior
Recuerde que las carreteras eran empinadas y
Tú y yo fuimos deslizando por el nivel del Paso de la Puerta
Tú dormidos y yo detrás del volante flotando
En esa lentitud
Y esa lentitud
Nunca se ha ido
