The Art Teacher

Allí estaba en uniformeThere I was in uniform
Mirando al profesor de arteLooking at the art teacher
Yo era sólo una chica entoncesI was just a girl then;
Nunca he amado desde entoncesNever have I loved since then

No era mucho mayor que yoHe was not that much older than I was
Él había llevado nuestra clase al Museo MetropolitanoHe had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
Nos preguntó cuál era nuestra obra de arte favoritaHe asked us what our favorite work of art was,
Pero nunca pude decir que era élBut never could I tell it was him
Oh, ojalá pudiera decirleOh, I wish I could tell him --
Oh, ojalá se lo hubiera dichoOh, I wish I could have told him

Miré a los Rubens y RembrandtsI looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts
Me gustaron los Sargents de John SingerI liked the John Singer Sargents
Me dijo que le gustaba TurnerHe told me he liked Turner
Nunca me he vuelto desde entoncesNever have I turned since then
No, nunca he recurrido a ningún otro hombreNo, never have I turned to any other man

Habiendo dicho todo estoAll this having been said,
Me casé con un jefe ejecutivo de la empresaI married an executive company head
Después de haber hecho todo esto, un Turner - tengo unoAll this having been done, a Turner - I own one
Aquí estoy en este uniforme, traje de pantalonesHere I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing,
Pensando en el profesor de arteThinking of the art teacher
Yo era sólo una chica entoncesI was just a girl then;
Nunca he amado desde entoncesNever have I loved since then
No, nunca he amado a ningún otro hombreNo, never have I loved any other man
