Slowness

Lento

Slowness

Kilómetros de amapolas de carretera, un tramo de tal vez flores
Miles of highway poppies, a stretch of maybe flowers
Pasado Signal Hill a maneras
Past Signal Hill a ways
Estábamos estacionados y buscando
We were parked and searching
Para un tapacubos rodando en los campos de espinas
For a hubcap rolling into the fields of thorn
Aunque no pudimos ver nada esa noche
Although we couldn't see a thing that night
Las estrellas aún brillan
Stars still shone
En su lentitud
In their slowness
Y su lentitud
And their slowness
Nos tomó por sorpresa
Took us by surprise

Si nunca te dijera cómo ayudaste a rescatar
If I never told you how you helped to rescue
El coche y todo el interior
The car and all inside
Recuerde que las carreteras eran empinadas y
Remember roads were steep and
Tú y yo fuimos deslizando por el nivel del Paso de la Puerta
You and I went sliding down the grade from Gate's Pass
Tú dormidos y yo detrás del volante flotando
You asleep and me behind the wheel hovering
En esa lentitud
In that slowness
Y esa lentitud
And that slowness
Nunca se ha ido
Has never gone away
