Sangens tekst
Both Sides Now
- At se skyer...
1. Bows and flows of angel hair,
And ice-cream castles in the air,
And feather canyons ev‟rywhere,
I‟ve looked at clouds that way.
- Et surrealistisk eventyr
But now they only block the sun,
They rain and snow on ev‟ryone.
So many things I would have done,
But clouds got in my way
- Besværlige, obsternasige sanger, hvad vil du mer?
I‟ve looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down and still somehow
It‟s cloud illusions I recall;
I really don‟t know clouds
At all.
- Kærlighed!
2. Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev‟ry fairy tale comes real,
I‟ve looked at love that way.
- Ak ja, stakkels pigebarn
But now it‟s just another show,
You leave them laughing when you go.
And if you care, don‟t let them know.
Don‟t give yourself away.
- Et mere realistisk synspunkt må man sige
I‟ve looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take and still somehow
