He Came From So Far Away (Red Man Speaks) (original)

He came from so far away
He had a telephone without a number
He came from so far away
He came from so far away
I never saw him drink a drop of water
He came from so far away
Well he told me that his mom was Ginger Rogers
And he said his old man was Fillmore Slim
And he never raised his voice above a whisper
But I learned in to every word he said
He came from so far away
You wouldn’t even know it if you saw him
He kept a picture of a pigeon in his wallet
Well I dreamed I saw him once on television
And I thought he’d melt the camera with his eyes
When they asked him why he wore a mask in public
He said This is my face, it covers my disguise
He came from so far away
Couldn’t tell a cradle from a coffin
Never even owned a television
And the children
The children ran up to him
And he held them
He came from so far away

(traducción)

El vino de tan lejos
Tenía un teléfono sin número
El vino de tan lejos
El vino de tan lejos
nunca lo vi beber una gota de agua
El vino de tan lejos
Bueno, me dijo que su madre era Ginger Rogers
Y dijo que su viejo era Fillmore Slim
Y nunca elevó su voz por encima de un susurro
Pero aprendí en cada palabra que dijo
El vino de tan lejos
Ni siquiera lo sabrías si lo vieras
Guardaba una foto de una paloma en su billetera
Bueno, soñé que lo vi una vez en la televisión
Y pensé que derretiría la cámara con sus ojos
Cuando le preguntaron por qué usaba una máscara en público
Dijo Este es mi rostro, cubre mi disfraz
El vino de tan lejos
No podía distinguir una cuna de un ataúd
Ni siquiera tuve un televisor
Y los niños
Los niños corrieron hacia él.
Y los sostuvo
El vino de tan lejos
