Down By The River
Do you remember, you took my hand,
And we walked out across the fields,
Down the lane and over the railway line
Our hearts were racing, our feet were chasing,
We were looking for a hideaway, getting lost and losing track of time
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Where the water ran slow, that's where we let our lovin' run free.
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Just layin' low, my true love and me
You let your long brown hair hang down
You saw your dress was swayin' in the breeze
We were skimmin' stones out across the stream
You had a lazy style and a carefree smile
You were a breathless beauty to be hold
The sweetest sight my eyes had ever seen
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Where the water ran slow, that's where we let our lovin' run free.
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Just layin' low, my true love and me
The water's risin', the stream's dividing
The river keeps rollin' on
Paper boats and pleasures drift away
And you may be just a memory
But you're shining like a distant star
That seems to me as clear as yesterday
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Where the water ran slow, that's where we let our lovin' run free.
We went down by the river, we went down by the river
Just layin' low, my true love and me
Junto al río
¿Recuerdas cuando tomaste mi mano,
Y caminamos por los campos,
Por el sendero y sobre la vía del tren
Nuestros corazones latían, nuestros pies perseguían,
Buscábamos un escondite, perdiéndonos y perdiendo la noción del tiempo
Fuimos junto al río, fuimos junto al río
Donde el agua fluía lentamente, ahí es donde dejamos nuestro amor correr libremente.
Fuimos junto al río, fuimos junto al río
Simplemente pasando desapercibidos, mi verdadero amor y yo
Dejaste tu largo cabello castaño caer
Viste cómo tu vestido ondeaba en la brisa
Estábamos lanzando piedras sobre el arroyo
Tenías un estilo relajado y una sonrisa despreocupada
Eras una belleza sin aliento para contemplar
La vista más dulce que mis ojos habían visto
Fuimos junto al río, fuimos junto al río
Donde el agua fluía lentamente, ahí es donde dejamos nuestro amor correr libremente.
Fuimos junto al río, fuimos junto al río
Simplemente pasando desapercibidos, mi verdadero amor y yo
El agua sube, el arroyo se divide
El río sigue fluyendo
Barquitos de papel y placeres se alejan
Y tal vez solo seas un recuerdo
Pero brillas como una estrella distante
Que para mí es tan claro como ayer
Fuimos junto al río, fuimos junto al río
Donde el agua fluía lentamente, ahí es donde dejamos nuestro amor correr libremente.
Fuimos junto al río, fuimos junto al río
Simplemente pasando desapercibidos, mi verdadero amor y yo
