| It was the blackbirds that loiter
| Eran los mirlos los que merodeaban
|
| Silhouetted on wires
| Silueteado en cables
|
| It was the old window fan
| Era el viejo ventilador de ventana.
|
| Catchin' rusty twirls
| Atrapando giros oxidados
|
| Like a cheese puff in the rain
| Como un hojaldre de queso bajo la lluvia
|
| No I didn’t stand a chance
| No, no tuve oportunidad
|
| I was a little piece of street debris
| yo era un pedacito de escombros de la calle
|
| Dancin' down Decatur Street
| Bailando por la calle Decatur
|
| What was this?
| ¿Que era esto?
|
| What did I find?
| ¿Qué encontré?
|
| Rollin on this New Orleans tide
| Rollin en esta marea de Nueva Orleans
|
| When I went down to the riverside
| Cuando bajé a la orilla del río
|
| When I went down to the riverside
| Cuando bajé a la orilla del río
|
| It was the breath of sweet olive trees
| Era el aliento de los dulces olivos
|
| Steeped through summer’s heat
| Empapado a través del calor del verano
|
| As they heave their breath into the street
| Mientras lanzan su aliento a la calle
|
| And dangle from the feet of bees
| Y cuelgan de los pies de las abejas
|
| It was the baskets
| Fueron las canastas
|
| And the beads
| y las cuentas
|
| Hangin from those balconies
| Colgando de esos balcones
|
| It was them flowers and them flags
| Eran las flores y las banderas
|
| It was the Fleure de Lis
| era la flor de lis
|
| Maybe you were listening
| Tal vez estabas escuchando
|
| When the saints go marching in?
| ¿Cuando los santos van marchando?
|
| It was that steamy fog
| Era esa niebla humeante
|
| Rollin off the Mississippi!
| ¡Saliendo del Mississippi!
|
| What was this?
| ¿Que era esto?
|
| What did I find?
| ¿Qué encontré?
|
| Rollin on this New Orleans tide
| Rollin en esta marea de Nueva Orleans
|
| When I went down to the riverside
| Cuando bajé a la orilla del río
|
| When I went down to the riverside
| Cuando bajé a la orilla del río
|
| It was the baskets and the beads
| Eran las canastas y las cuentas
|
| Hangin' from those balconies
| Colgando de esos balcones
|
| It was them flowers and them flags
| Eran las flores y las banderas
|
| It was the Fleure De Lis!
| ¡Era la Flor de Lis!
|
| It was you
| Fuiste tu
|
| It was you
| Fuiste tu
|
| It was you who’d take my heart
| Fuiste tú quien tomó mi corazón
|
| On the water
| En el agua
|
| There’s secrets in the water
| Hay secretos en el agua
|
| There’s secrets in the water
| Hay secretos en el agua
|
| There’s secrets in the water
| Hay secretos en el agua
|
| Secrets in the water | Secretos en el agua |
