| Once I knowed a guitar picker, lived his life on wine and liquor
| Una vez conocí a un guitarrista, vivió su vida a base de vino y licor.
|
| Runnin' around in one of them new machines
| Corriendo en una de esas máquinas nuevas
|
| He was about the proudest feelin', wheelin', dealin'
| Era el más orgulloso sintiéndose, manejando, tratando
|
| Sneakin', stealin', aggravatin' man I’ve ever seen
| Escabullirse, robar, agravar al hombre que he visto
|
| Nothin' but a midnight rambler, biggest drunkard and a gambler
| Nada más que un vagabundo de medianoche, el mayor borracho y un jugador
|
| He’d do anything that wasn’t nice
| Haría cualquier cosa que no fuera agradable
|
| Huntin', golfin', fishin', swimmin', runnin' around with other women
| Cazando, jugando al golf, pescando, nadando, corriendo con otras mujeres
|
| Playin' dominoes and shootin' dice
| Jugando dominó y tirando dados
|
| Then one night as he was dinin', while the moon was brightly shinin'
| Entonces, una noche, mientras cenaba, mientras la luna brillaba intensamente
|
| With his secret love he was so gay
| Con su amor secreto era tan gay
|
| He would laugh and call her 'Honey' while she proudly spent his money
| Él se reiría y la llamaría 'Cariño' mientras ella gastaba orgullosamente su dinero
|
| As they hugged and smooched the time away
| Mientras se abrazaban y besaban el tiempo
|
| Laughin', jokin', dinin', dancin'
| Riendo, bromeando, cenando, bailando
|
| Plannin' parties and romancin', havin' fun regardless of the price
| Planificando fiestas y romances, divirtiéndonos sin importar el precio
|
| Eatin' caviar and chicken, strummin' his guitar and pickin'
| Comiendo caviar y pollo, tocando su guitarra y tocando
|
| Playin' dominoes and shootin' dice
| Jugando dominó y tirando dados
|
| Then his wife walked in and found him with that pretty girl around him
| Entonces su esposa entró y lo encontró con esa linda chica a su alrededor.
|
| Started makin' headway for the gate
| Comenzó a avanzar hacia la puerta
|
| When he seen those girls dividin', he commenced to slip and slidin'
| Cuando vio a esas chicas dividiéndose, comenzó a resbalar y deslizarse.
|
| But he seemed to know it was too late
| Pero parecía saber que era demasiado tarde.
|
| Crowds began to gettin' thinner, they jumped up and left their dinner
| Las multitudes comenzaron a adelgazarse, saltaron y dejaron su cena
|
| No one seemed to have an appetite
| Nadie parecía tener apetito
|
| Not a person dare defend her, everyone jumped out the window
| Nadie se atrevió a defenderla, todos saltaron por la ventana.
|
| No one hung around to see the fight
| Nadie se quedó para ver la pelea.
|
| Then she grabbed him by the collar, he commenced to squeal and holler
| Luego ella lo agarró por el cuello, él comenzó a chillar y gritar.
|
| As she plastered him betwixt the eyes
| Mientras ella lo pegaba entre los ojos
|
| And then his old guitar she swung it, o’er his head she proudly hung it
| Y luego su vieja guitarra ella la balanceó, sobre su cabeza la colgó orgullosamente
|
| Bruises, knots and bumps began to rise
| Los moretones, los nudos y los golpes comenzaron a levantarse.
|
| He leapt up and tried to squeeze her, but she warped 'cross the beezer
| Él saltó y trató de apretarla, pero ella se deformó 'cruzando el beezer
|
| Pulled a pistol and shot him once or twice
| Sacó una pistola y le disparó una o dos veces
|
| When the wicked fight was over, he was laid beneath the clover
| Cuando terminó la malvada pelea, lo colocaron debajo del trébol.
|
| No more dominoes and shootin' dice | No más dominó y dados de tiro |
