| Twenty years ago, saw a friend was walking by And I stopped him on the street to ask him
| Hace veinte años vi pasar a un amigo y lo paré en la calle para preguntarle
|
| How it went, and all he did was cry
| Cómo fue, y todo lo que hizo fue llorar
|
| I looked him in the face, but I couldn’t see past his eyes
| Lo miré a la cara, pero no pude ver más allá de sus ojos.
|
| Asked him what the problem was, he says «Here is your disguise»
| Al preguntarle cuál era el problema, dice «Aquí está tu disfraz»
|
| Now he’s hardly getting over it Hardly getting used to getting by Old may lays down by the railroad tracks
| Ahora apenas lo está superando. Apenas se está acostumbrando a pasar. Old may se acuesta junto a las vías del tren.
|
| Got no paper in his pocket, got no paper on his back
| No tiene papel en su bolsillo, no tiene papel en su espalda
|
| I asked him what the time was, he says «Hit the road now, Jack»
| Le pregunté qué hora era, me dice «Vete a la carretera ahora, Jack»
|
| Went back to see him next week
| Volví a verlo la próxima semana.
|
| He died of a heart attack and died away
| Murió de un infarto y murió
|
| Now he’s hardly getting over it Hardly getting used to getting by Grandma, she got sick, she is going to die
| Ahora apenas lo está superando. Apenas se está acostumbrando a pasar. Abuela, se enfermó, se va a morir.
|
| And grandpa had a seizure, moved into a hotel cell and died away
| Y el abuelo tuvo una convulsión, se mudó a una celda de hotel y murió
|
| My parents, they just wonder when they both are going to die
| Mis padres, solo se preguntan cuándo van a morir ambos.
|
| And what do I do when they die?
| ¿Y qué hago cuando mueren?
|
| Now I’m hardly getting over it Hardly getting used to getting by | Ahora apenas lo supero Apenas me acostumbro a salir adelante |
