Aquí hay una fotografía tuya en la banda de Woody HermannHere's a photograph of you in Woody Hermann's band
Era 1952, eras un hombre tan guapoIt was 1952, you were such a handsome man
Uno de ustedes en un memorial con todo el clan de HoagyOne of you at a memorial with all of Hoagy's clan
Y luego tú y mi madreAnd then you and my mother
Caminando de la manoWalking hand in hand

(coro)(chorus)
Y ella era hermosaAnd she was beautiful
Y tú tocando el pianoAnd you played the piano
Eras hermoso sobre las teclasYou were beautiful upon the keys
El mundo era hermosoThe world was beautiful
Cuando los dos bailabanWhen the two of you were dancing
Hermoso, para míBeautiful, to me

Tomaste una fotografía de nosotras, tu libertad femeninaYou took a photograph of us, your ladies liberty
Mi cabello estaba al viento y yo tocaba en CarnegieMy hair was in the breeze and I played Carnegie
La abuela leyó el soneto de Emma LazarusGrandmother read the sonnet of Emma Lazarus
Ella solo está a medias en esta fotoShe's only halfway in this picture
Que tomaste de todas nosotrasYou took of all of us

(coro)(chorus)

Fuiste un padre para esta niña solitariaYou were a father to this lonely child
Aunque no estemos emparentadosThough we are not related
Me enseñaste cómo escribir estas notas en una páginaYou taught me how to write these notes upon a page
Fuiste soldado por tu país en dos de nuestras guerrasYou were a soldier for your country in two of our wars
Tocaste el piano toda tu vidaYou played piano all your life
Y eres hermosoAnd you are beautiful

(coro)(chorus)
