If I could look across the country

如果我能看遍整个国家

From California to New Jersey

从加利福尼亚到新泽西

Then I would count the parks and lake resorts

那么我会算算有多少公园

And number all the jets and airports

有多少机场多少飞机

All those rather dreary rain clouds still bother me

然而黑压压的雨云却令我生厌

Cuz I look through the camera eyepiece and cannot see

只因我不能透过摄像机看到地上的光景

If I could open up my window

如果我打开窗户

And see from Tampa Bay to Juneau

就能看见坦帕湾到朱诺市的风景

Then I would survey all those open miles

那么我就会勘测那里那里的每一寸土地

And line them up in single file

把它们整理成一牛皮袋的资料

Everywhere I look I see green scenic sublime

里面有我看到的各地最美丽的自然风光

And all those oceanic vistas are so pine

还有那些醉人的远洋美景

If I was standing on the balcony

如果我站在阳台上

And you were walking down below

而你却在下面经过

I'd feel rather depressed and out of place

我就会感到沮丧只因为我站错了地方

And lonely just to watch you go

只能孤独地望着你远去

If you were swinging from the highway overpass

如果你在天桥上跳着爵士舞

Within the western hemisphere

那种有西半球风格的舞步

I'd feel rather afraid and insincere

会令我感到害怕感到不真实

If you began to disappear

害怕失去了你

If I was walking through a sad art gallery

如果我在一个忧伤的艺术展里走过

And you were driving through the night

而你驱车穿过黑夜

I'd feel rather alone and ill at ease

感到自由自在而我却感到孤独

Beneath the brilliant showroom light

在那展览馆的明亮的灯光下

If I was flying on a plane above your town

如果我乘坐的飞机经过你家上空

And you were gazing at the sky

看见你凝视着天空

Somehow I'd feel intact and reassured

我会莫名地感到安心感到完美

If you began to wave goodbye

因为你开始挥手向我道别
