" New York, New York "
by Thaddeus Hutyra
/ longer version /
Majestic New York, you, the Tower of Babel
New York, New York, you, the Spectacle of Life
New York, New York, you, the Symphony of Love
New York, New York, my only City, my love
New York, New York, the City we all love
New York, New York, you, the jewel of all jewels
New York, New York, you, the everlasting Spring
New York, New York, majestic New York
*
Look at Manhattan, the Center of the Universe
fabulous beyond anything to say, breathtaking
Look at Times Square, the World's Crossroads
the hub of the Broadway theatre district
Look at the skyscrapers reaching heavens
at the financial center in the Wall Street
the spectacular New York's Stock Exchange
at Manhattan's Chinatown, at the subway
at the Freedom Tower, the pearl of pearls
express your utmost wonder, delight yourself
See New Yorkers hurrying to their jobs
cheerful, optimistic, exuberant, self-confident
See a handsome man walking down the street
see a beautiful woman in red sitting on a bench
a shiny pearl among the busy human traffic
See him approaching her and gently kissing her
see them dancing their tango, the tango of love
among the yellow cabs and Manhattan limousines
*
Look at Central Park, the New York's lungs
and the godlike splendor of the nature there
emanating from all corners and at all seasons
in the very heart of marvelous New York City
Look at those millions of people, proud Americans
descendants from all corners of the globe
doing their best to be part of the American Dream
Oh, God bless America, God bless the whole world !!
See happy and carefree kids in Central Park
playing with the plentiful rays from the Sun
and with palette of many shadows from Earth
in the full blown triumphant Summer around
and magnificent scents generated by the trees
What a splendid playground, a symphony it is
a heavenly music to the tunes of the Sun's harp
and yes, the Sun's trumpet, Sun's violin
the Sun's saxophone, all the divine Sun's tools
and of course, the Earth's piano as well
a music larger than life, at kids' hands

Majestic New York, you, the Tower of Babel
New York, New York, you, the Spectacle of Life
New York, New York, you, the Symphony of Love
New York, New York, my only City, my love
New York, New York, the City we all love
New York, New York, you, the jewel of all jewels
The everlasting Spring and the Summer's sunshine
New York, New York, majestic New York
*
See the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan
picturesque Queens and Staten Island
the jewels of America, of the world as much
See the Hudson River
emptying into Upper New York Bay
Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees
the Bronx Zoo, the world's largest metropolitan one
the John F. Kennedy International Airport
Thousand and one wonders, indeed
Once New Amsterdam, turned New York City
shining like the Sun on a brightest day
and like shimmering stars at quiet nights
like the exctasy of men and women in love
a pearl in the crown of America, indeed
kept safely in the claws of the American hawk
Look at all those busy people of New York yet again
making their dreams come true
Oh, New Yorkers, New Yorkers
you're the vanguard of the world !
You're shooting for the stars !!
*
New York City, you're our Ode to Life
you're our everlasting Bell of Life
our Dreamland which came true
our Highway to Heavens, a reborn Soul
our Happy End at our final Crossroads
the brilliant diamond, amber and emerald
You're mesmerizingly All American
a hauntingly fabulous Mirror of the World
and the shining Jewel of the Free World
Oh, New York, the true Tower of Babel
my love, our love, forevermore !!
Let's finally look at the Statue of Liberty
whoever you are
She's our Light as much as New York is
reminding us every single moment of our lives
freedom is what counts
and what is worth to strive for
The Statue of Liberty
standing there triumphantly
at the gate to everlasting New York City
*
Majestic New York, you, the Tower of Babel
New York, New York, you, the Spectacle of Life
New York, New York, you, the Symphony of Love
New York, New York, my only City, my love
New York, New York, the City we all love
New York, New York, you, the jewel of all jewels
New York, New York, the Fall's and Winter's brilliance
New York, New York, majestic New York
