The Moment I Knew by Taylor Swift
Lyrics & Translation
English
You should've been there
Should've burst through the door
With that 'baby I'm right here' smile
And it would've felt like
A million little shining stars had just aligned
And I would've been so happy
Christmas lights glisten
I've got my eye on the door
Just waiting for you to walk in
But the time is ticking
People ask me how I've been
As I comb back through my memory
How you said you'd be here
You said you'd be here
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing
As I'm looking around the room
But there's one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew
And the hours pass by
Now I just wanna be alone
But your close friends always seem to know
When there's something really wrong
So they follow me down the hall
And there in the bathroom
I try not to fall apart
And the sinking feeling starts
As I say hopelessly
"He said he'd be here."
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing
And asking me about you
But there was one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew
What do you say
When tears are streaming down your face
In front of everyone you know?
And what do you do when the one
Who means the most to you
Is the one who didn't show?
You should've been here
And I would've been so happy
And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all standing around me singing
"Happy birthday to you"
But there was one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew
Ooh, I knew
Ooh
You called me later
And said, "I'm sorry, I didn't make it,"
And I said, "I'm sorry too,"
And that was the moment I knew

The Moment I Knew (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Debiste haber estado allí
Debiste haber irrumpido por la puerta
Con esa sonrisa de 'nena, estoy aquí'
Y se habría sentido como si
Un millón de pequeñas estrellas brillantes se hubieran alineado
Y yo habría sido tan feliz
Las luces de Navidad brillan
Tengo la vista puesta en la puerta
Solo esperando que entres
Pero el tiempo corre
La gente me pregunta cómo he estado
Mientras repaso mi memoria
Cómo dijiste que estarías aquí
Dijiste que estarías aquí
Y fue como en cámara lenta
De pie allí con mi vestido de fiesta
Con lápiz labial rojo
Sin nadie a quien impresionar
Y todos se están riendo
Mientras miro alrededor de la habitación
Pero falta una cosa
Y ese fue el momento en que lo supe
Y las horas pasan
Ahora solo quiero estar sola
Pero tus amigos cercanos siempre parecen saber
Cuando algo anda realmente mal
Así que me siguen por el pasillo
Y allí en el baño
Intento no desmoronarme
Y la sensación de hundimiento comienza
Mientras digo sin esperanza
"Él dijo que estaría aquí."
Y fue como en cámara lenta
De pie allí con mi vestido de fiesta
Con lápiz labial rojo
Sin nadie a quien impresionar
Y todos se están riendo
Y preguntándome por ti
Pero faltaba una cosa
Y ese fue el momento en que lo supe
¿Qué dices
Cuando las lágrimas corren por tu cara
Delante de todos los que conoces?
¿Y qué haces cuando el que
Más significa para ti
Es el que no apareció?
Debiste haber estado aquí
Y yo habría sido tan feliz
Y fue como en cámara lenta
De pie allí con mi vestido de fiesta
Con lápiz labial rojo
Sin nadie a quien impresionar
Y todos están de pie a mi alrededor cantando
"Feliz cumpleaños a ti"
Pero faltaba una cosa
Y ese fue el momento en que lo supe
Ooh, lo supe
Ooh
Me llamaste más tarde
Y dijiste: "Lo siento, no llegué,"
Y yo dije: "Yo también lo siento,"
Y ese fue el momento en que lo supe
