| When Dad would play his old guitar
| Cuando papá tocaba su vieja guitarra
|
| He used to rant and rave
| Solía despotricar y delirar
|
| Though he hardly had two dimes
| Aunque apenas tenía dos monedas de diez centavos
|
| He would tell me what God gave
| Él me diría lo que Dios dio
|
| We’d all dance around the room
| Todos bailamos alrededor de la habitación
|
| When he would sing and play
| Cuando cantaba y tocaba
|
| When people said he was poor
| Cuando la gente decía que era pobre
|
| He said, «I'm rich in another way»
| Él dijo: «Soy rico de otra manera»
|
| I went to school and I smelled of smoke
| Iba a la escuela y olía a humo
|
| And my jeans were hand-me-down
| Y mis jeans eran heredados
|
| I had patches sewn onto patches
| tenía parches cosidos en parches
|
| We had a single-wide outside of town
| Tuvimos una sola fuera de la ciudad
|
| My daddy took me bar to bar
| Mi papá me llevó de bar en bar
|
| To get me where I am today
| Para llevarme a donde estoy hoy
|
| People said I was poor
| La gente decía que yo era pobre
|
| But I was rich in another way
| Pero yo era rico de otra manera
|
| When people said we were poor
| Cuando la gente decía que éramos pobres
|
| We were rich in another way
| Éramos ricos de otra manera
|
| Ooh, ooh, ooh
| oh, oh, oh
|
| Rich in another way
| Rico de otra manera
|
| Well, Daddy’s got his wings these days
| Bueno, papá tiene sus alas en estos días
|
| And his children are all grown
| Y sus hijos son todos adultos
|
| We don’t worry 'bout money no more
| Ya no nos preocupamos por el dinero
|
| With all the things we own
| Con todas las cosas que poseemos
|
| Still, the finest things we ever had
| Aún así, las mejores cosas que hemos tenido
|
| Was to never have a thing
| Era nunca tener nada
|
| So wherever life may take us
| Entonces, donde sea que la vida nos lleve
|
| We would always live like kings
| Siempre viviríamos como reyes
|
| You know, it wouldn’t mean a thing to me
| Sabes, no significaría nada para mí
|
| If I lost it all today
| Si lo perdiera todo hoy
|
| When people said we were poor
| Cuando la gente decía que éramos pobres
|
| We were rich in another way
| Éramos ricos de otra manera
|
| When people said we were poor
| Cuando la gente decía que éramos pobres
|
| You know, we were rich in another way | Ya sabes, éramos ricos de otra manera |
