Traducción de la letra de la canción He Was a Friend of Mine - Nanci Griffith

He Was a Friend of Mine (original)

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Never had no money
To pay for his fine
He was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
Thousand miles from home
He never hurt no one
He was a friend of mine
He died on the road
He died on the road
Never had no money for to pay for sufficient clothes
(He was a friend)
He was a friend of mine
(I stole)
I stole away and cried
(I stole)
Never had no money and I can’t be satisfied
He was a friend of mine
(He was) he was a friend of mine
(He was) he was a friend of mine
When I hear his name you know
I just can’t keep from cryin' (and)
(He was) he was a friend of mine
(He was)

(traducción)

el era un amigo mio
el era un amigo mio
Nunca tuve dinero
Para pagar su multa
el era un amigo mio
Él nunca hizo nada malo
Él nunca hizo nada malo
Mil millas de casa
Él nunca lastimó a nadie
el era un amigo mio
Murió en el camino
Murió en el camino
Nunca tuve dinero para pagar suficiente ropa
(Era un amigo)
el era un amigo mio
(Robé)
Me escabullí y lloré
(Robé)
Nunca tuve dinero y no puedo estar satisfecho
el era un amigo mio
(Era) era un amigo mío
(Era) era un amigo mío
Cuando escucho su nombre sabes
No puedo evitar llorar (y)
(Era) era un amigo mío
(Él era)
