DC original Words with chords

Words - 2021 (only a few changes)
chords same as DC original above

If there were somewhere to go
If there were someplace to be
Oh love I’d carry you away with me

On a midsummer eve by the gold carousel
Waving to horsemen that pass
The piping of waltzes and marches and bells
Weaving a mood of the past
Indulgent deliberate and so bittersweet
As we fade to the end of the day
And wistfully savoring the moment’s retreat
I chanted along this refrain

----- Chorus

The lovers and buddies the kids and their friends
And the man sitting there by my side
The milling meandering fattened and thin
With their sad fluffy souvenirs glide
Attendants resplendent in bright uniforms
And the families who don’t get along
To all these and my dreams I prayed keep them from harm
Softly sang them this carnival song

------ Chorus

Indonesian

Jika ada tempat untuk pergi
Jika ada tempat untuk berada
Oh sayang aku akan membawamu pergi bersamaku

Saat malam pertengahan musim panas di dekat komedi putar emas
Melambai ke penunggang kuda yang lewat
Musik waltz dan pawai dan lonceng
Menenun suasana masa lalu
Sengaja memanjakan dan begitu pahit manis
Saat kita memudar sampai akhir hari
Dan dengan sedih menikmati pengalaman saat ini
Saya melantunkan bersama lagu ini

 -----chorus

Para kekasih dan teman teman, juga anak anak dan teman teman mereka
Dan pria yang duduk di sampingku
Orang orang jalan jalan yang gemuk dan kurus
Dengan suvenir berbulu halus yang menyetikan mereka meluncur
Para pegawai yang gemerlap dalam seragam cerah
Dan keluarga yang tidak akur
Untuk semua ini dan mimpi saya, saya berdoa menjaga mereka dari bahaya
Dengan lembut nyanyikan lagu karnaval ini untuk mereka
