Lyrics:

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
And 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?
