No, no soy daltónico
Sé que el mundo es blanco y negro
Trato de mantener la mente abierta
Pero esta noche no puedo dormir con esto
Pará este tren
Quiero bajarme
Y volver a casa
No aguanto la velocidad a la que va
Lo sé, no puedo
Pero honestamente, ¿alguien puede parar este tren?
No sé cómo decirlo de otra manera
No quiero ver a mis padres irse
A solo una generación de distancia
De tener que enfrentar la vida solo
Oh, vamos
Pará este tren
Quiero bajarme
Y volver a casa
No aguanto la velocidad a la que va
Lo sé, no puedo
Pero honestamente, ¿alguien puede parar este tren?
Le tengo tanto miedo a envejecer
Solo sé ser joven
Así que juego con los números
Para encontrar la manera de decir que mi vida recién empieza
Hablé con mi viejo
Le dije: "ayudame a entender"
Me dijo: "cuando llegues a los sesenta y ocho
ah, lo vas a renegociar"
"No pares este tren
No cambies ni por un minuto el lugar en el que estás
No creas que nunca podría entenderte
Lo intenté a mi manera
John, honestamente, nunca vamos a parar este tren"
Oh, de vez en cuando, cuando las cosas van bien
Se siente como debería ser
Y todos siguen ahí
Y todavía estás a salvo
Y no te falta nada
Hasta que llorás
Cuando te alejás manejando en la oscuridad
Cantando
Pará este tren
Quiero bajarme
Y volver a casa
No aguanto la velocidad a la que va esta cosa
Lo sé, no puedo
Porque ahora veo que nunca voy a poder parar este tren
Nunca voy a poder parar este tren
Oh, nunca voy a poder parar este tren
Oh, nunca voy a poder parar este tren
Oh, nunca voy a poder parar este tren

No, non sono daltonico
So che il mondo è in bianco e nero
Cerco di mantenere la mente aperta
Ma stanotte non riesco a dormire con questo pensiero
Ferma questo treno
Voglio scendere
E tornare a casa
Non riesco a reggere la velocità a cui sta andando
Lo so che non posso
Ma onestamente, qualcuno può fermare questo treno?
Non so come dirlo altrimenti
Non voglio vedere i miei genitori andarsene
Solo una generazione mi separa
Dal dover affrontare la vita da solo
Oh, dai
Ferma questo treno
Voglio scendere
E tornare a casa
Non riesco a reggere la velocità a cui sta andando
Lo so che non posso
Ma onestamente, qualcuno può fermare questo treno?
Ho così paura di invecchiare
Sono bravo solo ad essere giovane
Allora gioco con i numeri
Per trovare un modo di dire che la mia vita è appena cominciata
Ho avuto una conversazione con mio padre
Dicendogli "aiutami a capire"
Lui ha detto "aspetta i sessantotto anni
Oh! Allora rinegozia"
"Non fermare questo treno
Non cambiare nemmeno per un momento il posto in cui sei
Non credere che io non possa mai capire
Ci ho provato
John, onestamente non fermeremo mai questo treno"
Oh! Ogni tanto, quando le cose vanno bene
Sembra che debbano andare così
E sono tutti ancora lì intorno a te
E sei ancora al sicuro
E non ti manca niente
Finché non piangi
Mentre guidi via nel buio
Cantando
Ferma questo treno
Voglio scendere
E tornare a casa
Non riesco a reggere la velocità a cui sta andando questa cosa
Lo so che non posso
Perché ora vedo che non fermerò mai questo treno
Non fermerò mai questo treno
Oh, non fermerò mai questo treno
Oh, non fermerò mai questo treno
Oh, non fermerò mai questo treno

Disse "me ajuda a entender"

Oh! você negocia de novo"
"Não para esse trem
Não muda nem por um segundo o lugar onde você está
Não pensa que eu nunca poderia entender
Eu tentei
John, sinceramente, nunca vamos parar esse trem"
Oh! Agora, de vez em quando, quando tá bom
Vai parecer que é como devia ser
E todo mundo ainda está por perto
E você ainda está seguro e tranquilo
E não sente falta de nada
Até você chorar
Quando você está dirigindo na escuridão
Cantando
Para esse trem
Eu quero descer
E voltar pra casa de novo
Não aguento a velocidade que essa coisa está indo
Eu sei que não consigo
Porque agora eu vejo que nunca vou parar esse trem
Nunca vou parar esse trem
Oh, nunca vou parar esse trem
Oh, nunca vou parar esse trem

From the album
Continuum
John Mayer · 2006 · Track 6
The story behind
The album Continuum is the third studio effort by American singer-songwriter John Mayer, released on September 12, 2006, under the Aware and Columbia Records labels. Recording sessions took place between January 2005 and July 2006 at various studios, including The Village Recorder in Los Angeles, Avatar Studios and Right Track/Sound on Sound in New York, and Royal Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. This record, produced by singer and drummer Steve Jordan, represents a shift in Mayer's musical style, as he incorporated more blues and soul elements compared to his previous pop rock work. Bassist Pino Palladino also participated in the album; Mayer, Jordan, and Palladino had toured the previous year under the name John Mayer Trio and released a live album titled Try!. Two of the songs from that live album have studio versions on Continuum. The album debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 in the United States, selling more than 300,186 copies in its first week. It also reached the top 10 in several other countries and surpassed 5 million copies sold worldwide. Upon its release, Continuum received generally positive reviews and earned Mayer several accolades, including a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 49th Grammy Awards. Rolling Stone magazine named it the 11th best album of 2006 and in 2020 placed it at number 486 on its updated list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Mayer decided on the name of his third album, Continuum, at least a year before its release. In his April 2005 column in Esquire magazine, Mayer wrote about his obsession with time and how he sought to understand his place in the "continuum." In the September 2005 issue of the same magazine, he confirmed the title and described the unique experience of the recording process for this album. The album primarily features new songs, although "Gravity" and "Vultures" are available as live versions on the John Mayer Trio's Try! album, and "Bold as Love" is a cover of Jimi Hendrix, marking the first time Mayer recorded a Hendrix song in the studio, although he had already performed it live on several occasions, such as at the televised concert Tsunami Aid: A Concert of Hope on January 15, 2005. Since then, he has recorded other Hendrix songs live, such as "The Wind Cries Mary" and "Wait Until Tomorrow." The album also features a collaboration with 8-string guitarist Charlie Hunter on the song "In Repair." The song "Stop This Train" was written during a period Mayer describes as "solitary refinement," while recovering from double kidney stones and living in a hotel while searching for a new residence. The title "Continuum" is prominently featured at the center of the album's graphic design. The typography was customized so that the letters "C" and "o" resemble the infinity symbol: ∞. Many of the subsequent letters are connected in some way; the right vertical stroke of the second "u" is the same as the left vertical stroke of the "m" in the title. The album has been released several times with slight variations in design. The three main editions feature, respectively: a photo of Mayer; a silver cover with the title in white; and an exclusive version for Local 83 (including a silver bag). The first edition shows a grayscale photograph of Mayer with the title near the top; another is identical except for the word "featured" centered at the top. Some versions include only a CD, in which case Mayer appears on the cover. When the album is presented in a jewel case, the inner cover is entirely white with the "Continuum" logo printed very faintly. The basic CD is white with off-white lettering and slides into a dark gray sleeve with light gray and blue/green lettering. During the pre-sale period, it appeared there would be a design variation in a special edition, which turned out to be a shiny silver bag containing the CD and pre-sale bonuses. All graphic design was carried out by Mayer together with Smog Design, Inc. The interior of the CD sleeve includes photographs, some taken by Mayer, such as of the studio (where Mayer's handwriting reads, "*this is what my heart looks like*") and a Ferris wheel where Mayer's handwriting is superimposed on the top of the photograph, presenting the lyrics of his songs. There is also a photograph of Mayer with Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan (the John Mayer Trio) on a beach. The CD sleeve includes the lyrics to all the songs on Continuum. With the albums Heavier Things and Room for Squares, there were inconsistencies with the lyrics in the sleeves compared to the albums; however, the lyrics of Continuum are printed exactly as they were recorded on the album.
