Cyndi Lauper sings " Time after time" = Una y otra vez http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PqhOrgk11A LyricsTranslated by alan Lying in my bed I Tumbado en mi cama yo hear the clock tick, oigo el reloj And think of you Y pienso en ti Caught up in circles Atrapado en circulos Confusion is nothing new La confusión es nada nuevo Flashback warm nights Retrospectiva noches calidas Almost left behind Casi se dejaron atrás Suitcases of memories, Maletas de memorias Time after Una y otra
Sometimes you picture me A veces me imaginas I'm walking too far ahead Estoy andando demasiada adelantada You're calling to me, Me estás llamando I can't hear what you've said No oigo lo que me has dicho Then you say go slow Entonces dices que vaya lento I fall behind Me quedo atrás The second hand unwinds La mano pequeña del reloj se acaba
If you're lost you can look Si estás perdido puedes mirar and you will find me y me encontrarás Time after time Una y otra vez If you fall I will catch you Si te caes te cogeré I'll be waiting Te Estaré esperando Time after time Una y otra vez
If you're lost you can look " " " and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch " " " you I'll be waiting Time after time " " "
After my picture fades Despues de que mi imagen desvanece And darkness has turned to gray Y la obscuridad se ha vuelto gris Watching through windows Mirando por las ventanas You're wondering if I'm OK Te preguntas si estoy bien Secrets stolen from deep inside Secretos robados de muy profundo The drum beats out of time El tambor pierde el compás
If you're lost you can " " " look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting Time after time " " "
You said go slow I fall behind The second hand unwinds " " "
If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch " " " you I'll be waiting Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
