Перевод песни Death Cab for Cutie - I was a kaleidoscope

I put on my overcoat
And walked into winter — my teeth chattered rhythms
And they were grouped in twos and threes,
Like a Morse code message was sent from me to me.

Cars on slippery slopes were stuck:
People pushing through their mittens as I was beginning
To feel it soaking through my shoes,
Getting colder with every step I took to your apartment, dear.

I was a kaleidoscope:
The snow on my lenses distorting the image
Of what was only one of you
And I didn’t know which one to address as all your lips moved.

This is when I forget to breathe
And all the things I scripted, they sound unfounded.
And it’s the look that you’re giving me
That tells me exactly what you are thinking:
“This ain’t working anymore.”

They got their mothers worked into a panic
Sledding down hills into oncoming traffic,
Parents layered clothes until
the children couldn’t move and
Then left them outside until their noses were blue,
And I got left there, too
