Текст песни: New York City + перевод

When you first get to New York City

You can’t help but feel the music in your feet

Yes, even underneath skyscrapers

It goes tearin' through the ground up through the street

While they may prefer you not to stay too long

Or hang around too long

Taking pictures of them living their lives

The New York City people

Will be glad to share the music for a while

When I first came to New York City

I was on my way to Moscow with the choir

But, at fifteen, I was forgetful

Left my papers in St. Louis

How the fates, they do conspire

With my handsome chaperone to lead me there

He took me to Times Square

While the choir did fly to Moscow

Who cares, now that I am here?

Oh, let them go, I’ll stay another year

In New York City

Where the boys look back when you smile

Oh, let me stay here for a little while

Here in New York City

And, if you go to New York City

Don’t forget to bring her something in return

She may have mountains like no other

But she’s got ruins where the stars forget to burn

And, while she may not give you everything you ask

She’ll give you what she can

She’s busy holdin' fast

Singin' to the dreamers who keep landin' on her shores

And to the ones still sleeping on her subway floors

And does she always seem to have her own go on board

Here in New York City
