Meaningless

Oil tankers in the National GuardTanqueros de petróleo en la Guardia Nacional

I came to meet you, my car died in your yardVine a encontrarte, mi auto murió en tu patio

Why turn the key?¿Por qué girar la llave?

There's so much here to seeHay tanto aquí para ver

These are my memoriesEstos son mis recuerdos

Of precious places, precious thingsDe lugares preciosos, cosas preciosas

That were meaningless beforeQue eran sin sentido antes

We'd seen them togetherLos habíamos visto juntos

Old hinges squeaking in the rainViejas bisagras chirriando bajo la lluvia

That hotel by the highway where we stayedEse hotel junto a la autopista donde nos quedamos

There's something every hourHay algo cada hora

Who needs the Eiffel Tower¿Quién necesita la Torre Eiffel

When we've got memoriesCuando tenemos recuerdos

Of precious places, precious thingsDe lugares preciosos, cosas preciosas

That were meaningless beforeQue eran sin sentido antes

We'd seen them togetherLos habíamos visto juntos

The pen, the carLa pluma, el auto

The paint, the pierLa pintura, el muelle

The moon and starLa luna y la estrella

The message clearEl mensaje claro

Liberty raised her hand to usLa Libertad nos levantó la mano

As if to say, ''It's OK, live today, live today''Como diciendo, 'Está bien, vive hoy, vive hoy'

I said, ''Don't leave me, don't break the tie''Dije, 'No me dejes, no rompas el lazo'

Then I left you and the time went rolling byEntonces te dejé y el tiempo siguió avanzando

And here's what I can't standY aquí está lo que no puedo soportar

I know that every landmarkSé que cada hito

Triggers memoriesDesencadena recuerdos

Of stupid places and silly thingsDe lugares estúpidos y cosas tontas

That were meaningless beforeQue eran sin sentido antes

We'd seen them together (repeat 3x)Los habíamos visto juntos (repetir 3x)
