Traducción de la letra de la canción Wrong About Me - Brett Dennen

Wrong About Me (original)

From my humble beginning
To our bitter end
You were the one who was pretending
That I was your orphan
In a brownstone apartment in Brooklyn
I found a new place to dwell
I tore up my ticket to Tennessee
And checked out of the Hollywood hotel
You can call me a turncoat
Challenge my dignity
But you were wrong about me
Honey you were wrong all along about me
Take of your plastic halo
But don’t shun the monks inside your head
Give it to the gullible grooms
Who drink their snake oil beside your bed
In your conjured up courtroom
My integrity is on trial
The prosecution is gathering
Evidence from denial
You can preach to the choir
Say that I’m guilty
But you were wrong about me
Honey you were wrong all along about me, about me
Go tell all your friends about it
Tell the boys back home about it
Tell your nurses and nuns about it
Go tell all your cats about it
You were wrong, you were wrong
You were wrong, you were wrong
You were wrong, you were wrong
You were wrong, you were wrong about me
You were wrong, you were wrong about me
Stubborn cowboys click their boot heels
They’re all settling their debts
I’m not making any more deals
I ain’t placing no more bets
Downtown on wall street
Where the millionaires smoke their cigars
I traded all my savings for a new suit
And an electric guitar
You could say that I sold out
But nobody works for free
And you were wrong about me
Honey you were wrong all along about me, about me, about me
Honey you were wrong all along about me
Wrong about me

(traducción)

Desde mi humilde comienzo
A nuestro amargo final
Tú eras el que estaba fingiendo
Que yo era tu huérfano
En un apartamento de piedra rojiza en Brooklyn
Encontré un nuevo lugar para vivir
Rompí mi boleto a Tennessee
Y salió del hotel de Hollywood
Puedes llamarme renegado
Desafía mi dignidad
Pero te equivocaste conmigo
Cariño, te equivocaste todo el tiempo acerca de mí
Quítate tu halo de plástico
Pero no evites a los monjes dentro de tu cabeza
Dáselo a los novios crédulos
Quien bebe su aceite de serpiente al lado de tu cama
En tu sala de audiencias evocada
Mi integridad está en juicio
La acusación se está reuniendo
Evidencia de la negación
Puedes predicar al coro
Di que soy culpable
Pero te equivocaste conmigo
Cariño, te equivocaste todo el tiempo sobre mí, sobre mí
Ve y cuéntaselo a todos tus amigos
Cuéntale a los chicos en casa sobre eso.
Cuéntale a tus enfermeras y monjas al respecto.
Ve y cuéntaselo a todos tus gatos
Estabas equivocado, estabas equivocado
Estabas equivocado, estabas equivocado
Estabas equivocado, estabas equivocado
Te equivocaste, te equivocaste conmigo
Te equivocaste, te equivocaste conmigo
Vaqueros testarudos hacen clic en los tacones de sus botas
Todos están saldando sus deudas.
No estoy haciendo más tratos.
No voy a hacer más apuestas
Centro en Wall Street
Donde los millonarios fuman sus puros
Cambié todos mis ahorros por un traje nuevo
Y una guitarra electrica
Podrías decir que me vendí
Pero nadie trabaja gratis
Y te equivocaste conmigo
Cariño, te equivocaste todo el tiempo sobre mí, sobre mí, sobre mí
Cariño, te equivocaste todo el tiempo acerca de mí
mal sobre mi
