Traducción de la letra de la canción Jack O Diamonds - Ruth Brown

Jack O Diamonds (original)

I lost my heart to a gambler
Riverboat Dale was his name
He gambled from sunrise til sundown
Jack of Diamonds was his game
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
You brought me misery
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
You stole my love from me
He stacked his chips on the table
He had his gun by his side
They watched him as he shuffled
But no one saw him hide
He won a thousand dollars
Then he got ready to leave
But as he picked up his winnings
The Jack fell from his sleeve
They shot him, yes, they shot him
They killed my loving Dale
And they nailed the Jack of Diamonds
On his lonely grave
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
He brought me misery
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
He stole my love from me
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds
Jack of Diamonds…

Jack O Diamonds (traducción)

Perdí mi corazón por un jugador
Riverboat Dale era su nombre
Apostó desde el amanecer hasta el anochecer
Jack of Diamonds era su juego
Jota de diamantes
Jota de diamantes
me trajiste miseria
Jota de diamantes
Jota de diamantes
Me robaste mi amor
Apiló sus fichas en la mesa
Tenía su arma a su lado
Lo observaron mientras arrastraba los pies
Pero nadie lo vio esconderse
Ganó mil dólares
Luego se dispuso a irse
Pero mientras recogía sus ganancias
El Jack cayó de su manga
Le dispararon, sí, le dispararon
Mataron a mi amado Dale
Y clavaron la jota de diamantes
En su tumba solitaria
Jota de diamantes
Jota de diamantes
El me trajo miseria
Jota de diamantes
Jota de diamantes
Me robó mi amor
Jota de diamantes
Jota de diamantes
Jota de diamantes
Jota de diamantes…
