| I met a girl from Brownsville
| Conocí a una chica de Brownsville
|
| She kamikaze head-turn got me into a frill
| Ella kamikaze giro de cabeza me puso en un volante
|
| I told her about my friends back home
| Le conté sobre mis amigos en casa
|
| What they’d say-
| Que dirían-
|
| How she spoke
| como ella hablaba
|
| Lasting Words in the lasting night
| Palabras duraderas en la última noche
|
| And every time I see a boat by a lake
| Y cada vez que veo un barco junto a un lago
|
| I want to jump up and say
| Quiero saltar y decir
|
| Let’s row away from everything
| Rememos lejos de todo
|
| Said she was a cutter
| Dijo que era una cortadora
|
| And I said my dad’s a preacher man
| Y dije que mi padre es un predicador
|
| I took her to the boat out down by the lake
| La llevé al bote junto al lago
|
| I kindly took her by the hand
| Amablemente la tomé de la mano.
|
| Just to make her understand
| Solo para hacerla entender
|
| I took her to the boat out down by the lake
| La llevé al bote junto al lago
|
| And just when everything was said
| Y justo cuando todo estaba dicho
|
| I hugged her hard around her head
| La abracé fuerte alrededor de su cabeza.
|
| I told her there are things that we shouldn’t say
| Le dije que hay cosas que no debemos decir
|
| Now watch me say them
| Ahora mírame decirlas
|
| I tore her down today
| La derribé hoy
|
| Everything just goes away
| Todo simplemente se va
|
| But the scars you hide today
| Pero las cicatrices que escondes hoy
|
| And you don’t want to say | Y no quieres decir |
