| The Ballad of Tim Evans
| La balada de Tim Evans
|
| (Ewan MacColl)
| (Ewan MacColl)
|
| Tim Evans was a prisoner,
| Tim Evans era un prisionero,
|
| Fast in his prison cell
| Rápido en su celda de prisión
|
| And those who read about his crimes,
| Y los que leen sobre sus crímenes,
|
| They damned his soul to hell,
| Condenaron su alma al infierno,
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| For the murder of his own dear wife
| Por el asesinato de su propia querida esposa
|
| And the killing of his own child
| Y el asesinato de su propio hijo
|
| The jury found him guilty
| El jurado lo encontró culpable
|
| And the hangin' judge, he smiled.
| Y el juez de la horca, sonrió.
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| Tim Evans pleaded innocent
| Tim Evans se declaró inocente
|
| And he swore by Him on high,
| Y juró por El en lo alto,
|
| That he never killed his own dear wife
| Que nunca mató a su propia querida esposa
|
| Nor caused his child to die.
| Ni hizo que su hijo muriera.
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| The governor came in one day
| El gobernador vino un día
|
| And the chaplain by his side,
| Y el capellán a su lado,
|
| Said, «Your appeal has been turned down,
| Dijo: «Tu apelación ha sido rechazada,
|
| Prepare yourself to die.»
| Prepárate para morir.»
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| They moved him out of C-block
| Lo sacaron del bloque C
|
| To his final flowery dell,
| A su último valle florido,
|
| And day and night two screws were there
| Y día y noche estaban allí dos tornillos
|
| And they never left his cell.
| Y nunca salieron de su celda.
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| Sometimes they played draughts with him
| A veces jugaban damas con él.
|
| And solo and pontoon,
| Y solo y pontón,
|
| To stop him brooding on the rope
| Para dejar de meditar en la cuerda
|
| That was to be his doom.
| Ese iba a ser su destino.
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| They brought his grub in on a tray,
| Trajeron su comida en una bandeja,
|
| an was eggs and meat and ham,
| an eran huevos, carne y jamón,
|
| And all the snout that he could smoke
| Y todo el hocico que pudo fumar
|
| Was there at his command.
| Estaba allí a sus órdenes.
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| The govenor came in one day
| El gobernador vino un día
|
| The chaplain by his side
| El capellán a su lado
|
| Says your appeal has been turned down
| Dice que su apelación ha sido rechazada
|
| Prepear yourself to die
| Prepárate para morir
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| Tim Evans walked in the prison yard
| Tim Evans caminó en el patio de la prisión
|
| And the screws, they walked behind;
| Y los tornillos, andaban detrás;
|
| And he saw the sky above the wall
| Y vio el cielo sobre la pared
|
| But he knew no peace of mind.
| Pero no conocía la paz mental.
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| They came for him at eight o’clock
| Vinieron por él a las ocho
|
| And the chaplain read a prayer
| Y el capellán leyó una oración
|
| And then they marched him to that place
| Y luego lo llevaron a ese lugar
|
| Where the hangman did prepare.
| Donde el verdugo se preparó.
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| The rope was fixed around his neck
| La cuerda estaba fijada alrededor de su cuello.
|
| And a washer behind his ear.
| Y una arandela detrás de la oreja.
|
| The prison bell was tolling
| La campana de la prisión estaba doblando
|
| But Tim Evans did not hear.
| Pero Tim Evans no escuchó.
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| A thousand lags were cursing
| Mil lags estaban maldiciendo
|
| And a-banging on the doors;
| y golpeando las puertas;
|
| But Evans couldn’t hear them,
| Pero Evans no podía oírlos,
|
| He was deaf for ever more.
| Estaba sordo para siempre.
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderer, go down.»
| Diciendo: «Baja, asesino, baja».
|
| They sent Tim Evans to the drop
| Enviaron a Tim Evans a la entrega
|
| For a crime he did not do.
| Por un crimen que no cometió.
|
| It was Christy was the murderer
| Fue Christy fue el asesino
|
| And the judge and jury too.
| Y el juez y el jurado también.
|
| Sayin', «Go down, you murderers, go down.» | Diciendo: "Abajo, asesinos, abajo". |
