| You dusty eyes were soft and glowin' when first I met you, Hannah Lee
| Tus ojos polvorientos eran suaves y brillantes cuando te conocí, Hannah Lee
|
| There was no way for me a-knowin' the sorrow your sweet caress would bring to me
| No había forma de que yo supiera el dolor que tu dulce caricia me traería
|
| High, high, high is the gallows. | Alto, alto, alto es la horca. |
| (Yeah, and it’s long) long as the rope that
| (Sí, y es largo) tan largo como la cuerda que
|
| waits for me
| espera por mi
|
| High as the gallows. | Alto como la horca. |
| They’ll hang me for your sins, my Hannah Lee
| Me colgarán por tus pecados, mi Hannah Lee
|
| You shot and killed your cruel husband because you found you loved but me
| Disparaste y mataste a tu cruel esposo porque descubriste que amabas menos a mí
|
| And then you lied before the jury and they blamed for your sins, my Hanna Lee
| Y luego mentiste ante el jurado y te culparon de tus pecados, mi Hanna Lee
|
| High, high, high is the gallows. | Alto, alto, alto es la horca. |
| (Yeah, and it’s long) long as the rope that
| (Sí, y es largo) tan largo como la cuerda que
|
| waits for me
| espera por mi
|
| High as the gallows. | Alto como la horca. |
| They’ll hang me for your sins, my Hannah Lee
| Me colgarán por tus pecados, mi Hannah Lee
|
| Down at the jail on hangin' mornin', I heard you tell them you had lied
| Abajo en la cárcel en Hangin 'mornin', te escuché decirles que habías mentido
|
| Your dusty eyes were soft and glowin' and I saw you hang your head and cry
| Tus ojos polvorientos eran suaves y brillantes y te vi agachar la cabeza y llorar
|
| High, high, high is the gallows. | Alto, alto, alto es la horca. |
| (Yeah, and it’s long) long as the rope that
| (Sí, y es largo) tan largo como la cuerda que
|
| waits for me
| espera por mi
|
| High as the gallows. | Alto como la horca. |
| When they hang my lovin' darlin', Hannah Lee.
| Cuando cuelgan a mi querida querida, Hannah Lee.
