Letras de My Friend Peter - Strawbs

My Friend Peter (original)

My friend Peter was not that old
A generous man with a heart of gold
They took his money, they took his home
They wouldn’t leave my friend Peter alone
My friend Peter’s mother, boy she was a bitch
All she ever gave him was a nervous twitch
She left her money to her fancy gent
She didn’t leave my friend Peter a cent
My friend Peter was the company boss
With labour problems and a heavy loss
The school bills came with a rise in fees
My friend Peter was on his knees
My friend Peter was never hip
But his wife was fond of the groovy trip
She spent her money like she spent her nights
She wouldn’t show my friend Peter the sights
My friend Peter was a worried guy
When the taxman came with his beady eye
They froze his bank account, they took his car
They wouldn’t let my friend Peter go far
My friend Peter was a family man
With a decent job and a long-term plan
He loved his kids, adored his wife
My friend Peter just took his life

(traducción)

Mi amigo Peter no era tan viejo
Un hombre generoso con un corazón de oro
Tomaron su dinero, tomaron su casa
No dejarían solo a mi amigo Peter
La madre de mi amigo Peter, chico, ella era una perra
Todo lo que ella le dio fue un tic nervioso
Dejó su dinero a su elegante caballero
Ella no le dejo ni un centavo a mi amigo Peter
Mi amigo Peter era el jefe de la empresa.
Con problemas laborales y una fuerte baja
Las facturas de la escuela vinieron con un aumento en las tarifas
Mi amigo Peter estaba de rodillas
Mi amigo Peter nunca estuvo a la moda
Pero a su esposa le gustaba el viaje maravilloso
Ella gastó su dinero como pasó sus noches
Ella no le mostraría a mi amigo Peter las vistas
Mi amigo Peter era un tipo preocupado
Cuando el recaudador de impuestos vino con sus ojos brillantes
Le congelaron la cuenta bancaria, le quitaron el auto
No dejarían que mi amigo Peter fuera lejos
Mi amigo Peter era un hombre de familia.
Con un trabajo digno y un plan a largo plazo
Amaba a sus hijos, adoraba a su esposa
Mi amigo Peter acaba de quitarse la vida.
