Slowness

Lento

Slowness

Kilómetros de amapolas de carretera, un tramo de tal vez floresMiles of highway poppies, a stretch of maybe flowers
Pasado Signal Hill a manerasPast Signal Hill a ways
Estábamos estacionados y buscandoWe were parked and searching
Para un tapacubos rodando en los campos de espinasFor a hubcap rolling into the fields of thorn
Aunque no pudimos ver nada esa nocheAlthough we couldn't see a thing that night
Las estrellas aún brillanStars still shone
En su lentitudIn their slowness
Y su lentitudAnd their slowness
Nos tomó por sorpresaTook us by surprise

Si nunca te dijera cómo ayudaste a rescatarIf I never told you how you helped to rescue
El coche y todo el interiorThe car and all inside
Recuerde que las carreteras eran empinadas yRemember roads were steep and
Tú y yo fuimos deslizando por el nivel del Paso de la PuertaYou and I went sliding down the grade from Gate's Pass
Tú dormidos y yo detrás del volante flotandoYou asleep and me behind the wheel hovering
En esa lentitudIn that slowness
Y esa lentitudAnd that slowness
Nunca se ha idoHas never gone away
