Rows and flows of angel hair 00:11
And ice cream castles in the air 00:15
And feather canyons everywhere 00:20

They rain and snow on everyone 00:35
So many things I would've done 00:40

Letra:

[English]

Rows and flows of angel hair

And ice cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere

I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun

They rain and snow on everyone

So many things I would've done

But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

It's cloud illusions, I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

...

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels

The dizzy dancin' way you feel

As every fairy tale comes real

I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show

You leave 'em laughin' when you go

And if you care, don't let them know

Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now

From give and take, and still somehow

It's love's illusions, I recall

I really don't know love at all

...

Tears and fears and feeling proud

To say "I love you" right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange

They shake their heads, they say I've changed

Well, something's lost, but something's gained

In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

It's life's illusions, I recall

I really don't know life at all

...

I've looked at life from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

It's life's illusions, I recall

I really don't know life at all

...

  • So many things I would've done

    ➔ Condicional Perfecto (Tercera Condicional)

    ➔ Usa "would've done" (would have done), implicando que estas cosas no se hicieron realmente debido a las nubes. Es una situación hipotética en el pasado.

  • It's cloud illusions, I recall

    ➔ Frase Nominal como Complemento del Sujeto

    "cloud illusions" es una frase nominal que funciona como complemento del sujeto, describiendo lo que 'it' (la experiencia de mirar las nubes) es en última instancia.

  • The dizzy dancin' way you feel

    ➔ Adjetivo Participio

    "dancin'" es un participio presente usado como adjetivo para describir "way", modificando el sustantivo y dándole una cualidad activa y enérgica.

  • You leave 'em laughin' when you go

  • If you care, don't let them know

    ➔ Oración Imperativa

    "Don't let them know" es una oración imperativa negativa que da una orden o instrucción.

  • Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

    ➔ Polisíndeton

    ➔ El uso repetido de "and" crea una sensación de acumulación y énfasis en los diversos elementos que se enumeran.

  • Well, something's lost, but something's gained

    ➔ Voz Pasiva (Implícita)

    ➔ Aunque no es explícitamente pasiva, la oración sugiere una acción que se realiza *a* algo, en lugar de *por* algo. "Something's lost" implica "Something *is* lost (por un actor desconocido)".
