I was just a tourist out on the great white way
Ich war nur ein Tourist auf dem Great White Way,
Where lights make night as bright as day and day as dark as night
Wo Lichter die Nacht so hell wie den Tag und den Tag so dunkel wie die Nacht machen.
I visited the city seen all the finer sights
Ich besuchte die Stadt, sah all die feineren Sehenswürdigkeiten,
Then I thought I'd do some slummin' for a little while one night
Dann dachte ich, ich würde für eine kleine Weile in den Slums herumlaufen, eines Nachts.
Well I stepped into the shadows of a second rate cafe
Nun, ich trat in den Schatten eines zweitklassigen Cafés,
The burlesques were before me in their old familiar way
Die Burlesken waren vor mir, in ihrer alten, vertrauten Art.
As I drew near my table the front girl whirled around
Als ich mich meinem Tisch näherte, wirbelte das vorderste Mädchen herum,
And I recognized my sweetheart from my own hometown
Und ich erkannte meine Liebste aus meiner Heimatstadt.
Yes she was just a hometown high school beauty queen
Ja, sie war nur eine Schönheitskönigin der Highschool aus der Heimatstadt,
But everybody told her how she could be everything
Aber jeder sagte ihr, wie sie alles sein könnte.
When the contest finally ended and the judges called her name
Als der Wettbewerb endlich endete und die Jury ihren Namen nannte,
She won a trip to Broadway where she would find the fame
Gewann sie eine Reise zum Broadway, wo sie den Ruhm finden würde.
I slowly turned around and stepped back into crowd
Ich drehte mich langsam um und trat zurück in die Menge,
For I knew she mustn't seen me she always was too proud
Denn ich wusste, sie durfte mich nicht sehen, sie war immer zu stolz.
And in that one lonely moment the truth my mind unveiled
Und in diesem einen einsamen Moment enthüllte sich meinem Verstand die Wahrheit,
The town she loved may failed her the town she thought she failed
Die Stadt, die sie liebte, hat sie vielleicht im Stich gelassen, die Stadt, von der sie dachte, sie hätte sie im Stich gelassen.
So that night I wrote a letter on a homeward bound express
Also schrieb ich in dieser Nacht einen Brief in einem Expresszug nach Hause,
And it read congratulations to you on your success
Und er lautete: Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu deinem Erfolg.
But if you should ever decide to come back home again
Aber solltest du dich jemals entscheiden, wieder nach Hause zu kommen,
Well you know I'll always be here waitin' just like I've always been
Nun, du weißt, ich werde immer hier sein und warten, so wie ich es immer getan habe.
I was just a tourist out on the great white way
Ich war nur ein Tourist auf dem Great White Way,
Where lights made night as bright as day and day as bright as night
Wo Lichter die Nacht so hell wie den Tag und den Tag so dunkel wie die Nacht machten.
When old friends ask about her I just smile at them and say
Wenn alte Freunde nach ihr fragen, lächle ich sie nur an und sage,
She's star of show on Broadway out on the great white way
Sie ist der Star der Show am Broadway, auf dem Great White Way.
