Suzanne

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the riverSuzanne te lleva a su lugar cerca del río

You can hear the boats go byPuedes escuchar pasar los barcos

You can spend the night beside herPuedes pasar la noche a su lado

And you know that she's half crazyY sabes que está medio loca

But that's why you want to be therePero por eso quieres estar allí

And she feeds you tea and orangesY te ofrece té y naranjas

That come all the way from ChinaQue vienen directamente de China

And just when you mean to tell herY justo cuando planeas decirle

That you have no love to give herQue no tienes amor que darle

Then she gets you on her wavelengthEntonces te pone en su misma onda

And she lets the river answerY deja que el río responda

That you've always been her loverQue siempre has sido su amante

And you want to travel with herY quieres viajar con ella

And you want to travel blindY quieres viajar a ciegas

And you know that she will trust youY sabes que ella confiará en ti

For you've touched her perfect bodyPorque has tocado su cuerpo perfecto

With your mindCon tu mente

And Jesus was a sailorY Jesús era un marinero

When he walked upon the waterCuando caminaba sobre el agua

And he spent a long time watchingY pasó mucho tiempo observando

From his lonely wooden towerDesde su solitaria torre de madera

And when he knew for certainY cuando supo con certeza

Only drowning men could see himQue solo los hombres ahogados podían verlo

He said "All men will be sailors thenDijo 'Entonces todos los hombres serán marineros

Until the sea shall free them"Hasta que el mar los libere'

But he himself was brokenPero él mismo estaba quebrado

Long before the sky would openMucho antes de que el cielo se abriera

Forsaken, almost humanAbandonado, casi humano

He sank beneath your wisdom like a stoneSe hundió bajo tu sabiduría como una piedra

And you want to travel with himY quieres viajar con él

And you want to travel blindY quieres viajar a ciegas

And you think maybe you'll trust himY tal vez piensas en confiar en él

For he's touched your perfect bodyPorque ha tocado tu cuerpo perfecto

With his mindCon su mente

Now Suzanne takes your handAhora Suzanne toma tu mano

And she leads you to the riverY te lleva al río

She is wearing rags and feathersElla está vestida con harapos y plumas

From Salvation Army countersDe los mostradores del Ejército de Salvación

And the sun pours down like honeyY el sol cae como miel

On our lady of the harbourSobre nuestra dama del puerto

And she shows you where to lookY te muestra dónde mirar

Among the garbage and the flowersEntre la basura y las flores

There are heroes in the seaweedHay héroes en las algas marinas

There are children in the morningHay niños en la mañana

They are leaning out for loveSe inclinan en busca de amor

And they will lean that way foreverY se inclinarán así para siempre

While Suzanne holds the mirrorMientras Suzanne sostiene el espejo

And you want to travel with herY quieres viajar con ella

And you want to travel blindY quieres viajar a ciegas

And you know that you can trust herY sabes que puedes confiar en ella

For she's touched your perfect bodyPorque ha tocado tu cuerpo perfecto

With her mindCon su mente
