As She Rides By (originale)

Lord, how I must make a pitiful sight
Standing alone in the rain tonight
I’ve abandoned a room that’s warm and dry
To gaze at my love as she rides by
As she rides by
As she rides by
To gaze at my love
As she rides by
Lord, how I wish I was wealthy and free
I’d know my love and she’d know me
I would build me a tower, I’d build it high
Smile at my love as she rode by
As she rode by
As she rode by
Smile at my love
As she rode by
Lord, but a tower needs bricks and lime
Land for to stand and a host of time
Men for to raise it to the sky
And all for my love as she rides by
As she rides by
As she rides by
And all for my love
As she rides by
Lord, but a dream is a pleasure to find
I’ve built a tower in my mind
And I’ve only to blink and close my eye
To gaze at my love as she rides by
As she rides by
As she rides by
To gaze at my love
As she rides by
As she rides by
As she rides by
To gaze at my love
As she rides by

(traduzione)

Signore, come devo fare uno spettacolo pietoso
In piedi da solo sotto la pioggia stasera
Ho abbandonato una stanza calda e asciutta
Per guardare il mio amore mentre passa
Mentre passa
Mentre passa
Per guardare il mio amore
Mentre passa
Signore, quanto vorrei essere ricco e libero
Conoscerei il mio amore e lei conoscerebbe me
Mi costruirei una torre, la costruirei in alto
Sorridi al mio amore mentre passava
Mentre cavalcava
Mentre cavalcava
Sorridi al mio amore
Mentre cavalcava
Signore, ma una torre ha bisogno di mattoni e calce
Atterra per stare in piedi e una miriade di tempo
Uomini per alzarlo al cielo
E tutto per il mio amore mentre passa
Mentre passa
Mentre passa
E tutto per il mio amore
Mentre passa
Signore, ma un sogno è un piacere da trovare
Ho costruito una torre nella mia mente
E devo solo sbattere le palpebre e chiudere gli occhi
Per guardare il mio amore mentre passa
Mentre passa
Mentre passa
Per guardare il mio amore
Mentre passa
Mentre passa
Mentre passa
Per guardare il mio amore
Mentre passa
