| Everyone, when she was young
| Todos, cuando ella era joven
|
| They said she was the pretty one
| Dijeron que ella era la bonita
|
| She’s pretty enough, just watch her as she goes
| Ella es lo suficientemente bonita, solo mírala mientras avanza
|
| Waiting for the birds to come
| Esperando a que vengan los pájaros
|
| She holds the hands of someone young
| Ella sostiene las manos de alguien joven
|
| Whose mother comes and she sees her and she smiles
| Cuya madre viene y la ve y sonríe
|

| Waiting in the check-out line

|
| The supermarket, Christmas time
| El supermercado, época navideña
|
| She eyes someone who doesn’t have the change
| Ella mira a alguien que no tiene el cambio
|
| Takes a dollar from her purse
| Saca un dólar de su bolso
|
| She pays and doesn’t says a word
| Ella paga y no dice una palabra
|
| And winks and grins, 'A Merry Christmas, friend'
| Y guiños y sonrisas, 'Feliz Navidad, amigo'
|
| Thank you Louise

| In Baltimore the freezing cold
| En Baltimore el frío helado
|
| That chills her darling to the bone
| Que enfría a su amor hasta los huesos
|
| She walks from work and cops the drugs and leaves
| Ella camina desde el trabajo y toma las drogas y se va
|
| Her brother lay upon the bed
| Su hermano yacía sobre la cama.
|
| With busted teeth and broken head
| Con los dientes rotos y la cabeza rota
|
| He hears the phone and he knows his brother’s dead
| Oye el teléfono y sabe que su hermano está muerto.
|
| Thank you Louise
