That's the Way It Could Have Been
Tammy Wynette
I was so excited when you asked if I could go
But mama said I'd have to ask my daddy
I met him at the front door so afraid that he'd say no
But he smiled and said, "Let mama get you ready"
In your cotton shirt and faded jeans, you came for me
And the gingham dress was all I had to wear
With a dollar in your pocket and a borrowed car
You picked a yellow daisy for my hair
And that's the way it could have been
Oh, that's the way it should have been
If I had met you way back then
That's the way it would have been
I put away my gingham for a pretty dress of white
And you wore a suit instead of faded jeans
Our wedding day was perfect and we loved away the night
Life for us was filled with lots of dreams
We bought a house upon a hill outside of town
And two young people finally settled in
And you just won't believe the little children running 'round
And they pick yellow daisies now and then
And that's the way it could have been
Oh, that's the way it should have been
If I had met you way back then
That's the way it would have been
That's the way it could have been
I was so excited when you asked if I could go
Estaba tan emocionada cuando preguntaste si podía ir
But mama said I'd have to ask my daddy
Pero mamá dijo que tendría que preguntarle a mi papá
I met him at the front door so afraid that he'd say no
Lo encontré en la puerta principal tan asustada de que dijera que no
But he smiled and said, "Let mama get you ready"
Pero él sonrió y dijo: "Deja que mamá te prepare"
In your cotton shirt and faded jeans, you came for me
En tu camisa de algodón y jeans desgastados, viniste por mí
And the gingham dress was all I had to wear
Y el vestido de cuadros era todo lo que tenía para ponerme
With a dollar in your pocket and a borrowed car
Con un dólar en tu bolsillo y un coche prestado
You picked a yellow daisy for my hair
Escogiste una margarita amarilla para mi cabello
And that's the way it could have been
Y así es como podría haber sido
Oh, that's the way it should have been
Oh, así es como debería haber sido
If I had met you way back then
Si te hubiera conocido hace mucho tiempo
That's the way it would have been
Así es como habría sido
I put away my gingham for a pretty dress of white
Guardé mi vestido de cuadros por un bonito vestido blanco
And you wore a suit instead of faded jeans
Y tú llevabas un traje en lugar de jeans desgastados
Our wedding day was perfect and we loved away the night
Nuestro día de boda fue perfecto y amamos toda la noche
Life for us was filled with lots of dreams
La vida para nosotros estaba llena de muchos sueños
We bought a house upon a hill outside of town
Compramos una casa en una colina fuera de la ciudad
And two young people finally settled in
Y dos jóvenes finalmente se establecieron
And you just won't believe the little children running 'round
Y no vas a creer los pequeños niños corriendo por ahí
And they pick yellow daisies now and then
Y ellos recogen margaritas amarillas de vez en cuando
And that's the way it could have been
Y así es como podría haber sido
Oh, that's the way it should have been
Oh, así es como debería haber sido
If I had met you way back then
Si te hubiera conocido hace mucho tiempo
That's the way it would have been
Así es como habría sido
That's the way it could have been
Así es como podría haber sido
I was so excited when you asked if I could go
Eu estava tão animada quando você perguntou se eu poderia ir
But mama said I'd have to ask my daddy
Mas minha mãe disse que eu teria que perguntar ao meu pai
I met him at the front door so afraid that he'd say no
Eu o encontrei na porta da frente tão assustada achando que ele diria não
But he smiled and said, "Let mama get you ready"
Mas ele sorriu e disse, "Deixe a mamãe te arrumar"
In your cotton shirt and faded jeans, you came for me
Em sua camisa de algodão e jeans desbotados, você veio me buscar
And the gingham dress was all I had to wear
E o vestido de algodão xadrez era tudo que eu tinha para vestir
With a dollar in your pocket and a borrowed car
Com um dólar no bolso e um carro emprestado
You picked a yellow daisy for my hair
Você escolheu uma margarida amarela para colocar no meu cabelo
And that's the way it could have been
E assim poderia ter sido
Oh, that's the way it should have been
Oh, assim deveria ter sido
If I had met you way back then
Se eu tivesse te conhecido naquele tempo
That's the way it would have been
Assim que teria sido
I put away my gingham for a pretty dress of white
Eu deixei de lado meu vestido de algodão xadrez por um lindo vestido branco
And you wore a suit instead of faded jeans
E você usou um terno em vez de jeans desbotados

J'étais tellement excitée quand tu as demandé si je pouvais y aller
But mama said I'd have to ask my daddy
Mais maman a dit que je devrais demander à mon papa
I met him at the front door so afraid that he'd say no
Je l'ai rencontré à la porte d'entrée, si peur qu'il dise non
But he smiled and said, "Let mama get you ready"
Mais il a souri et a dit, "Laisse maman te préparer"
In your cotton shirt and faded jeans, you came for me
Dans ta chemise en coton et tes jeans délavés, tu es venu pour moi
And the gingham dress was all I had to wear
Et la robe en vichy était tout ce que j'avais à porter
With a dollar in your pocket and a borrowed car
Avec un dollar dans ta poche et une voiture empruntée
You picked a yellow daisy for my hair
Tu as cueilli une marguerite jaune pour mes cheveux
And that's the way it could have been
Et c'est comme ça que ça aurait pu être

Oh, c'est comme ça que ça aurait dû être
If I had met you way back then
Si je t'avais rencontré bien avant
That's the way it would have been
C'est comme ça que ça aurait été
I put away my gingham for a pretty dress of white
J'ai rangé mon vichy pour une jolie robe blanche
And you wore a suit instead of faded jeans
Et tu portais un costume au lieu de jeans délavés

Ich war so aufgeregt, als du gefragt hast, ob ich mitkommen könnte
But mama said I'd have to ask my daddy
Aber Mama sagte, ich müsste meinen Papa fragen
I met him at the front door so afraid that he'd say no
