Vieja avenida universitaria

Harry Chapin

Old college avenue

Of course I picked a rainy night
To try to find our past
The street lights all were flickering
The leaves were falling fast

I walked down the winding road
Looked up through the trees
And I saw the corner window
That you once shared with me

It was Old College Avenue
And in the time of having you
I remember it as if it were today

The tiny room and the single bed
Though the tangled trails of time
Have led us far astray
The membrance seems to stay

And through all the roads
That led me on
And through all the years
That you've been gone
I have found that it would never go away

It was Old College Avenue
And in the time of having you
I remember it as if it were today

That fall turned into winter
The winter into spring
And all the while, you led me through
The sweet awakening

But summer never came that year
It's what you went to find
And you took my future with you
And you left your past behind

It was Old College Avenue
And in the time of having you
I remember it as if it were today

The tiny room and the single bed
Though the tangled trails of time
Have led us far astray
The membrance seems to stay

And through all the roads
That led me on
And through all the years
that you've been gone
I have found that it would never go away

It was Old College Avenue
And in the time of having you
I remember it as if it were today
I remember you
As if
It were
Today

Vieja avenida universitaria

Por supuesto elegí una noche lluviosa
Para intentar encontrar nuestro pasado
Las luces de la calle parpadeaban
Las hojas caían rápido

Caminé por el camino sinuoso
Miré hacia arriba entre los árboles
Y vi la ventana de la esquina
Que una vez compartiste conmigo

Era la Vieja Avenida Universitaria
Y en el tiempo de tenerte
Lo recuerdo como si fuera hoy

La habitación pequeña y la cama individual
Aunque los senderos enredados del tiempo
Nos han llevado lejos
El recuerdo parece permanecer

Y a través de todos los caminos
Que me llevaron
Y a través de todos los años
Que has estado ausente
He descubierto que nunca desaparecería

Era la Vieja Avenida Universitaria
Y en el tiempo de tenerte
Lo recuerdo como si fuera hoy

Ese otoño se convirtió en invierno
El invierno en primavera
Y todo el tiempo, me guiaste a través
Del dulce despertar

Pero el verano nunca llegó ese año
Es lo que fuiste a buscar
Y te llevaste mi futuro contigo
Y dejaste tu pasado atrás

Era la Vieja Avenida Universitaria
Y en el tiempo de tenerte
Lo recuerdo como si fuera hoy

La habitación pequeña y la cama individual
Aunque los senderos enredados del tiempo
Nos han llevado lejos
El recuerdo parece permanecer

Y a través de todos los caminos
Que me llevaron
Y a través de todos los años
Que has estado ausente
He descubierto que nunca desaparecería

Era la Vieja Avenida Universitaria
Y en el tiempo de tenerte
Lo recuerdo como si fuera hoy
Te recuerdo
Como si
Fuera
Hoy
