By the Time I Get to Phoenix
Jimmy Webb
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall, that's all.
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I've tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
Até eu chegar a Phoenix, ela estará se levantando
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
Ela encontrará o bilhete que deixei pendurado em sua porta
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
Ela vai rir quando ler a parte que diz que estou partindo
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
Porque já deixei essa garota tantas vezes antes
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
Até eu chegar a Albuquerque, ela estará trabalhando
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
Ela provavelmente vai parar para almoçar e me fazer uma ligação
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Mas ela só vai ouvir o telefone tocando
Off the wall, that's all.
Na parede, é só isso
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
Até eu chegar a Oklahoma, ela estará dormindo
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
Ela vai se virar suavemente e chamar meu nome baixinho
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
E ela vai chorar só de pensar que eu realmente a deixaria
Tho' time and time I've tried to tell her so
Embora eu tenha tentado dizer a ela tantas vezes
She just didn't know I would really go
Ela simplesmente não sabia que eu realmente iria embora
