| I used to know ths girl Marie
| Solía conocer a esta chica Marie
|
| And so the story goes, she never really talked to me Her house was seven blocks away
| Y así cuenta la historia, en realidad nunca me habló. Su casa estaba a siete cuadras de distancia.
|
| On my way to school, I went to see if she’s okay
| De camino a la escuela, fui a ver si estaba bien
|
| Tell me, where have you gone?
| Dime, ¿dónde has ido?
|
| Where have you gone, Marie?
| ¿Dónde has ido, María?
|
| Why did you leave?
| ¿Por que te fuiste?
|
| Come back to me, cherie
| Vuelve a mí, cherie
|
| I know you went away

|
| You went away, Marie

|
| You could not stay
| no podías quedarte
|
| You could not stay, cherie
| No podías quedarte, cherie
|
| Please stay with me, Marie, cherie
| Por favor quédate conmigo, Marie, cherie
|
| Oh no, he did not treat you right
| Ay no, no te trató bien
|
| Your innocence is lost
| Tu inocencia está perdida
|
| You never had the chance to fly
| Nunca tuviste la oportunidad de volar
|
| She looked so pretty like a dream
| Se veía tan bonita como un sueño
|
| Her skin’s like velvet cream
| Su piel es como crema de terciopelo.
|
| She never made her sweet sixteen
| Ella nunca cumplió sus dulces dieciséis
|
| Nobody came around to see her
| nadie vino a verla
|
| It was as if she wasn’t there
| Era como si ella no estuviera
|
| A lone butterfly that’s caught in amber
| Una mariposa solitaria atrapada en ámbar
|
| Always your daddy’s little girl
| Siempre la niña de tu papá
|
| Tell me, where have you gone?
| Dime, ¿dónde has ido?

|
| You could not stay, cherie
