Ver el mundo pasar

I only want to settle down,
beneath the warm and sunny sky
And I will gladly lay me down,
and just watch the world go by
I’ll ease the tension in my head,
within the solace that I find
Until the sun begins to set,
I’ll relax and ease my mind

Back in the days when I could not stop,
climbing the ladder trying to reach the top
Head in the clouds and I could not
That way of life got the best of me

I only want to settle down,
and feel the sun caress my skin
When there’s no-one else around,
I can let the dreams begin

Back in the days when I could not stop,
climbing the ladder trying to reach the top
Head in the clouds and I could not see
That way of life got the best of me

I only want to settle down,
beneath the warm and sunny sky
And I will gladly lay me down,
and just watch the world go by

Yo solo quiero estar tranquilo
Bajo el calido cielo
Y con placer tumbarme e ver
Ver el mundo pasar.

Ver El Mundo Pasar - David Paton

I wrote this song to express how I feel about the way my life has been and how it is now. It’s another song that just appeared as I was thinking about the past and the future. The Spanish verse seemed obvious to me because of the character of the song. Many thanks to Maria Turner-Ramos for the translation. Watch the world go by.
