| Once I saw the most beautiful girl
| Una vez vi a la chica más hermosa
|
| Sitting next to me
| Sentado a mi lado
|
| I asked her what was her name
| Le pregunté cómo se llamaba
|
| She said it was 'Laurie'
| Ella dijo que era 'Laurie'
|
| She worked at the store and I opened that door
| Ella trabajaba en la tienda y yo abrí esa puerta
|
| Just to see her face
| Solo para ver su cara
|
| She always made me feel at home
| Ella siempre me hizo sentir como en casa
|
| I never felt out of place
| Nunca me sentí fuera de lugar
|
| But she already had a boyfriend
| pero ella ya tenia novio
|
| An undertaker was he
| Un enterrador era él
|
| And they got married
| y se casaron
|
| And had a little baby
| Y tuvo un pequeño bebé
|
| I became obsessed with death, my friend
| Me obsesioné con la muerte, amigo
|
| Certain that it would happen to me
| Seguro que me pasaría
|
| And I would be in the hands
| Y yo estaría en las manos
|
| Of my dear Laurie
| De mi querida Laurie
|
| I can’t explain such love aflame
| No puedo explicar tanto amor en llamas
|
| I overcame victorious
| vencí victorioso
|
| Filled my heart with such desire
| llenó mi corazón con tal deseo
|
| So grand and so glorious
| Tan grande y tan glorioso
|
| Laurie, sweet, an angel dear
| Laurie, dulce, un ángel querido
|
| Is here with me today
| Está aquí conmigo hoy
|
| Not a person, but a memory
| No una persona, sino un recuerdo
|
| With me will always stay | Conmigo siempre se quedará |
