You're like a saint's song to me
Kau seperti lagu suci bagiku
I'll try to sing it pure and easily
Aku akan berusaha menyanyikannya dengan tulus dan mudah
You're like a Mexican blue
Kau seperti biru Meksiko
So bright and clear and pale in the afternoon
Begitu cerah, jelas, dan lembut di sore hari
I saw you riding on your bike
Aku melihatmu bersepeda
In a corduroy jacket in the night
Dengan jaket korduroi di malam hari
Past the hydrangeas that were blooming in the alley
Lewat di antara bunga hydrangea yang mekar di gang
With a galloping dog by your side
Dengan anjing yang berlari di sampingmu
When I was hungry you fed me
Saat aku lapar, kau memberiku makan
I don't mean to suggest that I'm like Jesus Christ
Bukan maksudku untuk mengklaim aku seperti Yesus Kristus
Your light overwhelmed me
Cahaya darimu membuatku terpesona
When I lay beside you sleepless in the night
Saat aku terbaring di sampingmu tak bisa tidur di malam hari
And when you dreamed my guardian spirits appeared
Dan saat kau bermimpi, roh pelindungku muncul
And the moon stretched out across your little bed
Dan bulan membentang di atas ranjang kecilmu
They said they'd started to get worried about me
Mereka bilang mulai khawatir tentang diriku
They were happy we had finally met
Mereka senang kita akhirnya bertemu
We had finally met
Kita akhirnya bertemu

A mysterious bird flies away
Seekor burung misterius terbang pergi
Seemed to be calling your name
Sepertinya memanggil namamu
And bounced off the top of a towering pine
Dan melompat dari puncak pohon pinus yang tinggi
And vanished in the drizzling rain
Dan menghilang di tengah hujan gerimis
There's a mockingbird behind my house
Ada burung peniru di belakang rumahku
Who is a magician of the highest degree
Yang adalah pesulap tingkat tinggi
And I swear I heard him rip the world apart
Dan aku bersumpah aku mendengarnya merobek dunia
And sew it back again with his fiery melody, melody
Dan menjahitnya kembali dengan melodi berapi-api, melodi

When you were mad at me I didn't care
Saat kau marah padaku, aku tak peduli
And I just loved you all the same
Dan aku tetap mencintaimu seperti biasa
And I waited for the wind to push the hurricane
Dan aku menunggu angin mendorong badai pergi
Out to sea, and the sun could shine again
Menuju laut, agar matahari bisa bersinar lagi
Oh I don't mean to give you advice
Oh, bukan maksudku memberi nasihat
Its just like Delia said, "oh, Jesus Christ"
Hanya seperti yang Delia katakan, "oh, Yesus Kristus"
Just don't get so high you leave the ground
Jangan sampai terlalu tinggi hingga kau melupakan tanah
Everything is so much better when you're around
Segalanya terasa lebih baik saat kau ada di sini
Just don't float so high you drift away
Jangan melayang terlalu tinggi hingga kau tersesat
Stand tall, with your feet on the ground
Berdirilah tegak, dengan kakimu di tanah
I love your songs, I love your sound
Aku suka lagu-lagumu, aku suka suaramu
Everything is so much better when you're around
Segalanya terasa lebih baik saat kau ada di sini

When the moon is as clear as an opal
Saat bulan sejelas opal
And the amethyst river sings a song
Dan sungai amethyst menyanyikan sebuah lagu
I'll remember all your dreams and the mysteries
Aku akan mengingat semua mimpimu dan misteri-misteri itu
You have borne in your crystalline soul
Yang kau bawa dalam jiwa kristalinmu
That you sing from your golden throat
Yang kau nyanyikan dari tenggorokan emasmu
That you shine from your sparkling eyes
Yang kau pancarkan dari matamu yang berkilau
That you feel from the goddess in your thighs
Yang kau rasakan dari dewi di pahamu

You're like a saint's song to me
Kau seperti lagu suci bagiku
I'll try to sing it pure and easily
Aku akan berusaha menyanyikannya dengan tulus dan mudah
You're like a Mexican blue
Kau seperti biru Meksiko
So bright and clear and pale in the afternoon
Begitu cerah, jelas, dan lembut di sore hari
In the afternoon
Di sore hari
