The Art Teacher
There I was in uniform
Looking at the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then
He was not that much older than I was
He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
He asked us what our favorite work of art was,
But never could I tell it was him
Oh, I wish I could tell him --
Oh, I wish I could have told him
I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts
I liked the John Singer Sargents
He told me he liked Turner
Never have I turned since then
No, never have I turned to any other man
All this having been said,
I married an executive company head
All this having been done, a Turner - I own one
Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing,
Thinking of the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then
No, never have I loved any other man
El profesor de arte
Allí estaba en uniforme
Mirando al profesor de arte
Yo era sólo una chica entonces
Nunca he amado desde entonces
No era mucho mayor que yo
Él había llevado nuestra clase al Museo Metropolitano
Nos preguntó cuál era nuestra obra de arte favorita
Pero nunca pude decir que era él
Oh, ojalá pudiera decirle
Oh, ojalá se lo hubiera dicho
Miré a los Rubens y Rembrandts
Me gustaron los Sargents de John Singer
Me dijo que le gustaba Turner
Nunca me he vuelto desde entonces
No, nunca he recurrido a ningún otro hombre
Habiendo dicho todo esto
Me casé con un jefe ejecutivo de la empresa
Después de haber hecho todo esto, un Turner - tengo uno
Aquí estoy en este uniforme, traje de pantalones
Pensando en el profesor de arte
Yo era sólo una chica entonces
Nunca he amado desde entonces
No, nunca he amado a ningún otro hombre
