Looking For America
Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, Jack Michael Antonoff
Took a trip to San Francisco
All our friends said we would jive
Didn't work, so I left for Fresno
It was quite a scenic drive
Pulled over to watch the children in the park
We used to only worry for them after dark
I'm still looking for my own version of America
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
I flew back to New York City
Missed that Hudson River line
Took a train up to Lake Placid
That's another place and time, where
I used to go to drive-ins and listen to the blues
So many things that I think twice about before I do now
I'm still looking for my own version of America
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
Took a trip to San Francisco
J'ai fait un voyage à San Francisco
All our friends said we would jive
Tous nos amis disaient que nous nous entendrions bien
Didn't work, so I left for Fresno
Ça n'a pas marché, alors je suis parti pour Fresno
It was quite a scenic drive
C'était un trajet assez pittoresque
Pulled over to watch the children in the park
Je me suis arrêté pour regarder les enfants dans le parc
We used to only worry for them after dark
Nous avions l'habitude de ne nous inquiéter pour eux qu'après la tombée de la nuit
I'm still looking for my own version of America
Je cherche toujours ma propre version de l'Amérique
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
Une sans le pistolet, où le drapeau peut voler librement
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
Pas de bombes dans le ciel, seulement des feux d'artifice quand toi et moi entrons en collision
It's just a dream I had in mind
C'est juste un rêve que j'avais en tête
It's just a dream I had in mind
C'est juste un rêve que j'avais en tête
It's just a dream I had in mind
C'est juste un rêve que j'avais en tête
I flew back to New York City
Je suis rentré à New York City
Missed that Hudson River line
Cette ligne de la rivière Hudson m'a manqué
Took a train up to Lake Placid
J'ai pris un train jusqu'à Lake Placid
That's another place and time, where
C'est un autre lieu et un autre temps, où
I used to go to drive-ins and listen to the blues
J'avais l'habitude d'aller aux drive-ins et d'écouter le blues
So many things that I think twice about before I do now
Tant de choses que je réfléchis à deux fois avant de les faire maintenant
I'm still looking for my own version of America
Je cherche toujours ma propre version de l'Amérique
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
Une sans le pistolet, où le drapeau peut voler librement
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
Pas de bombes dans le ciel, seulement des feux d'artifice quand toi et moi entrons en collision
It's just a dream I had in mind
C'est juste un rêve que j'avais en tête
It's just a dream I had in mind
C'est juste un rêve que j'avais en tête
It's just a dream I had in mind
C'est juste un rêve que j'avais en tête
It's just a dream I had in mind
C'est juste un rêve que j'avais en tête

It was quite a scenic drive
Foi uma viagem bastante cênica
Pulled over to watch the children in the park
Parei para assistir as crianças no parque
We used to only worry for them after dark
Costumávamos nos preocupar com eles apenas depois do anoitecer
I'm still looking for my own version of America
Ainda estou procurando minha própria versão da América
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
Uma sem a arma, onde a bandeira pode voar livremente
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
Sem bombas no céu, apenas fogos de artifício quando você e eu colidimos
It's just a dream I had in mind
É apenas um sonho que eu tinha em mente
It's just a dream I had in mind

So many things that I think twice about before I do now
Tantas coisas que eu penso duas vezes antes de fazer agora
I'm still looking for my own version of America

Una senza armi, dove la bandiera può sventolare liberamente
