i'm about to embark on a long voyage
the airlines will be handling all my luggage
you need exact change to cross the toll bridge
& i wonder if i should take along a sandwich
how do you say "i love you" in your language?

something got lost in the translation
there must have been a mispronounciation
i think i might take out the garbage
it's time that i got rid of all my baggage
how do you say "i love you" in your language?

does it mean the same in yours as it does in mine?
i don't think it's cutting it in mine
i wanna make sure that i pronounce it right
i wanna make sure that i don't miss this flight

this recalls an old familiar adage
that goes together like a horse and carriage
i wonder if you could take down this message
because i'm about to embark on a long voyage
how do you say "i love you" in your language?
